So I got home today and checked my mail as usual... When i found a very exciting letter... The outside of the letter read official registered claim documents enclosed
I was very happy to say the least... I am waiting on state exam results and i am expecting to receive them today or within the next two weeks... But instead of exam results i "received" a sweepstakes notification...
I had also registered a few weeks ago for a known sweepstakes... So i was extremely excited to think i might have won... The letter looked very official... Bar codes, seals, signatures, etc...
The letter states that it is a Prize Report Claim Form for a reported cash / prize of
$3,276, 450.00
this made me very happy... Except that at the bottom of the letter was a request for $20 in cash, check, or money order made out to Consumer Reporting Services (CRS) to allow for secure processing...
The $20 fee did not completely set me off because i thought that perhaps as a third party delivery agency the company might not be able to take the $20 fee from my winnings because only i could cash the prize... But as a caution i decided to go online and double check the company name and the address...
I have unfortunately been taken advantage of by other fraudulent companies... So my caution is not weird... The company name did not bring up any other rip off reports but when i typed in the address i received several reports with the exact same reports but a different company name...
I believe that the person / persons in charge of this scam have realized there were more reports under their old company name so they altered the name slightly and kept up the scam... They did not however change their address lucky for me...
Please don't send money to them!
