I received a letter a month ago stating I had a claim on upwards of 3-4million. As you can imagine, I got so excited I had to sit down. I thought about it a few days, and then decided the $20.00 fee they were requesting was well worth the chance I was taking to see if it was legit.
I have yet to receive the "report" I later discovered I was purchasing with my $20.00 fee. At the bottom in very fine print it said that they were not a sweepstakes or lottery and they had no way to actually give you the money owed to you. They were merely a company that those types of sweepstakes hire to find individuals who "may" have won a prize and couldn't find them.
Within a week I was receiving 5-10 letters a day from all over the country. Florida, Nevada, New York and several other places. Numerial Resource Center, in New York, and National Sweepstakes Clearing Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida along with Consolidated Research Authorithy in Las Vegas, Nevada. The biggest request for fee as of yet being $100.00. This was from the initial Consolidated Research Authority I originally sent the fee of $20.00 to, and yes this was a even bigger insult.
To think that some people might not remember that they had sent a fee already to the same company was a little bit insulting and really helped me realize the element of people we are dealing with. I hope that these people are found and prosecuted and I would be more than happy to help.
I hope this will keep others from falling victim to this scam. I have only lost 20 but I am sure others have lost much more. These people ought to be ashamed of themselves and they really need to go out and get a real job and actually earn their money for a change. Just because you can scam someone and it works, does not give you the right to swindle honest hard working Americans out of their money.
