Consumer goods giant SC Johnson repeated its consumer warning that a letter sent to consumers is not from the company.
The first warning was issued two weeks ago by the maker of Windex, Pledge, Glade and more cleaning products. The letter is from a “Consumer Rewards Program” allegedly being administered by MBT Financial Services. Recipients are sent a fake check with a false signature from the company’s founder. The company is now reporting a second letter is making the rounds, this one from an entity called “Domino Financial Trust”.
As is often the case with email, this paper phishing scam asks consumers to supply banking information. The company has asked consumers to contact their local law enforcement office. Calling US postal inspectors isn’t a bad idea either. Save the envelope and all inserts, and please don’t send anyone your banking information unless you already have a financial arrangement with them.
