This "company" (Maria Rose Foundation of the Guardian Angel) is rated "D" by the Better Business Bureau. Sadly, it's one more mail scam which obviously shares the same mailing list with known phony psychics and scam lottery schemes.
This unscrupulous person or company sends unsolicited mail promising "lucky numbers" which they allude will allow the recipient to win thousands of dollars in lotteries on specific dates IF you send them $10. They use the typical techniques:
-Using the addresee's first name repeatedly
-Encouraging the addressee to dream of how they will spend large amounts of money.
-Listing very questionable "testimonials"
-Creating a sense of importance and urgency by insisting on an IMMEDIATE response following EXACT instructions
-Requests unnecessary personal information: birth date and location, credit card number, email address
"... Our Guardian Angel has finally decided to smile down on you and make you a lottery winner, to the tune of thousands of dollars."
These scams must be exposed. They are preying on our weakest and most vulnerable brothers and sisters; the elderly, the poor, the desperate and the lonely. My 98 y/o grandmother responded to one of these once and new gets 5-10 similar scam solicitations a week.
