This awards commission has bombarded my wife and i with letters promising great things. The rules/conditions stated no purchase neccessary so i sent it off completed as directed only to receive two other letters saying my status was in limbo and jeopardy of being put into the catagory of "abandoned" and in order to get status from limbo to accepted i would have to send a payment of 12.89.
It went on to say your actions if taken will determine the next step of your order entry in the 600,000 cash payment notification. I am a naturally suspicious person by nature and have not become a victim as i snt no cash but when i checked the company out on the net decided to file a report to put a stop to this scam offering great things using it as an excuse for selling some type of product.
The remedy is simple in that if in the usa report these crooks to the international office of trading standards as well as your own office of trading standards and office of fair trade, in this way these organisations will work hand in hand with all appropriate authorities including the police to bring about prosecutions against this con.
Bona fide organisations offering such competitions would not attempt this scam as it would affect their reputation. My advice is simple report them in the first instance to the folk i told you earlier and don't entertain them under any circumstances.
