Holy crow that is creepy! Pardon my not getting back to you sooner. My gut reaction in a case like this if you have not done so already is to report it to the authorities. I cannot advise exactly as to whom to contact, but I did find this link that might lead you in the right direction:

Hi all….I found this by searching xpress solutions. I received a FedEx delivery today from this company. In it was a check for $270 drafted form the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The number on the check to call is 1-866-301-4656 and when you call that number you basically get an answering machine; after picking option 1 or 2.

The company name on the FedEx envelope is SP Solutions with a Canadian address that doesn’t seem to exist (2006 Old Malone Rd Kahnawake, PQ J0L1B0 Canada, CA)

The stub on the check says:

“Dear Customer, The amount on your check may be a few cents more than the amount you requested. This is due to daily fluctuations in international currency exchange rates. Your balance will always reflect the amount you requested, even though the check you received was for a slightly higher amount. To avoid any unnecessary inconvenience when depositing or cashing this check, if asked, simply explain that this is a payment from a large online service provider and that the funds were sent to you at your request. Sincerely, EPF – Customer Financial Services Hagenauer Strasse 47, 65203 Wiesbaden, Germany”

Very strange. I did not request any funds and I cannot find any info on the company or companies.

Anyone else get anything like this or have any advice?

Thanks!

I found this web site through a google search for vixar services. He contacted me about wanting voice lessons. Music teachers get these scams all the time. What happens is usually they want to send you a very large (and fraudulent, but they don’t tell you that part) cashier’s check for much more than what you are charging, and need you to cash it right away and send them the change. By the time your bank notifies you that the check you deposited has bounced, your cash is long gone and so is the scammer, and you are stuck repaying your bank plus fees. The scammer has your money for nothing.

I have strict policy that I do not give refunds, and that I do not give change from overpayments. Anything over what is due can be applied to future lessons only.

I too have received an email on March 27th 2008 from a Ted Grant initially from tmustmk2@yahoo.com. I won’t go into details how I could have possibly fallen for this SCAM but I did or was just about to. In fact, our communication has gotten as far as me receiving a cashier’s check in the mail today for a rather large amount. This was the final straw that made me stop and think…this can’t be right!

Can anyone advise where I go from here. I obviously need to report this IMMEDIATELY.

I’m guessing I need to contact Yahoo since since he has now changed his email to:
Xpress support services [vixar@yahoo.com]. Do I need to contact the authorities?

I’m also very curiouis just what kind of SCAM this is, does anyone know?

Wow…what a sad world we live in when we have to be on such high alert to scam artists. I got the same e-mail and became suspicious after “Ted” offered to pay me more than what I quoted. Then, when he noted that he needed to sure he could trust me, since I’d be paying him from funds his client would pay me, I knew it was not on the up and up. I sincerely hope no one gets taken in by this guy. I guess I give him points for creativity (much more than the pleas from the widows of generals in Tanzania who need us to deposit funds in our accounts and then “pay back” just fraction to them).

If my memory doesn’t fail me there are no “BOULEVARDS” in London or anywhere in the UK. That should be your first cue. The streets in the UK could be “Street”, “Lane”, “Crescent”… but NO Boulevard (or Blvd.) I lived there some time ago and things may be changed, but the British stick to their beliefs and I don’t think they have changed that.
Look into http://www.yell.com (yellow pages in the UK) and put the address or even the postal code and see what you get.
This is almost like those people from Africa who are looking for someone here to let them use their bank account to transfer money left by their assassinated father/husband. Or the lottery scam, for that matter.
