Received what seemed to be a legitimate envelope with return address of PO Box 9002 Levittown, NY 11756. Contents included two (2) pages. The first identified me as holder of prize data and gave me a number. The second was the "Prize Data Document" purporting they were attempting to deliver the $ amount of one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
My instructions were to remit a check for $19.99 (for the Office Attendant reporting fee) and my signature to the document within the next 14 days. This action on my part, per the letter, "guarantees the prompt forwarding of the entrant directives file and enacts delivery."
The paper, various seals, and the wording make it look so real—except for one MAJOR difference. To win the letter recipient is required to pay a fee.
At quick glance it looks so good. At longer glance it's TOO good. At final glance no one should be required to pay if they have won something.
Conclusion: If you have to pay to win; the only winner is the one at the other end getting your check if you're silly enough to send it. I didn't & won't. Hope no one else will either.
