I, like so many of you, have received a letter indicating I would receive $1,900, 000 by returning paperwork and $19.99 in "report fees" to this company. It sounds similar to some of the emails I have received from overseas "Lottery" groups indicating I have won and just need to confirm my personal information, and then send money to pay for "legal fees."
This about as ILLEGAL as you can get. What is worse, some desperate or elderly individual will fall prey to this scam. I would love to see a class action suit against National Award Advisory Center. I think it only fair that they pay for inflicting emotional distress and attempting to extort money when there is no award ever to be presented to any recipient of this company's letter.
If there is an attorney out there willing to take this on, let's go for it. I would think the US Postal Service would be interested in knowing about this scam, as well.
