The 'official' looking printout has a a return address that is a PMB # in Nevada. I believe that means PRIVATE MAIL BOX. It has a stamped seal that says "Official Seal, Financial Services, Department of Finance", with a blurb below it that says "Not valid unless official seal appears in box above." It tells you to reply within 10 days in order to receive the $998.407.77 cash prize and that no purchase is necessary BUT you have to mail in $24.87 processing fee to "authorize" the delivery.
It has no web site, no phone number. There is a statement on the back that is equally scary: "Checks returned for non-sufficient funds may be electronically debited for the face value plus the state allowable fee." They'd squeeze even the bad check artist?
Kids, BEWARE! Read everything, and if it sounds too good to be true, its a scam.
