About

Important information

  • Additional Info:
    The Chicago BBB would like consumers to be aware that there is never a legitimate reason for a business to send them a check, and request that the consumer deposit this check and wire or send a portion of the funds onward.

    It has come to the attention of the Chicago BBB that this name and address are being used in a variation of the ubiquitous check scam.
    In the check scam, the victim is sent a check, usually with false information on the check and provided in a letter. In this case consumers are being provided this address in Tinley Park, IL as well as the name of UGN Financials. UGN Financials does not exist, and the business operating from this location has no involvement with this offer.
    For one explanation or another, (usually for "mystery shopping", or to pay taxes on some sort of prize winnings) consumers are asked to deposit this check in their personal bank account, and subsequently send (almost always via wire transfer) a large portion of the money onward to a third party, often located in Canada. However, due to standard banking practices, the check may appear to have "cleared" the account, but in fact the bank is still researching the check. When the check is discovered to be fraudulent or have no funds behind it, any funds that were made available from this check are removed from the consumer's account, leaving the consumer responsible for any money spent or sent onward.

    If you receive an offer like this, the BBB strongly suggests you do not respond in any way, and to forward copies of any correspondence to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, whose contact information is below.

    If you have been victimized by this scam, the BBB suggests you contact the entities listed below:

    PhoneBusters: PhoneBusters is a national anti-fraud call center operated by The Ontario Provincial Police, and The Royal Canadian Mounted Police. PhoneBusters works in cooperation with American authorities to investigate cases of fraud perpetrated across the U.S. - Canadian border.
    Phone: 1-888-495-8501
    Website: www.phonebusters.com

    The United States Postal Inspection Service: The USPIS is a special branch of the U.S. Postal Service which handles investigation of criminal use of the U.S. Mail. If any of your correspondence with this entity occurred via the U.S. Mail, you may contact your local branch of the Postal Inspection Service here: http://www.usps.com/ncsc/locators/find-is.html

    Lastly, it is strongly suggested that you alert your local State Attorney General's office of the offer you received.
