I have recently (twice now) received documents from a company that does not reveal who they are, but claim that I have won One Million Four Hundred Thousand. (Which amazes me as I have not entered a contest in that amount).
It goes on to say that D.R.D. Awards Payment Data Release completes the reporting of sweepstakes & contest Money/Prize Amounts for release to enter-for-Payout.
It also states (and this one should send off bells to anyone reading this) that all I have to do is send them $19.99 for the Award Payment Data Release fee (a one time only fee - most likely because you will never hear from them again!) NEVER EVER SEND MONEY IF YOU HAVE WON MONEY!!!
Then I went online to complaint and yep, there it was in black and white... Someone who had been scammed by these people. I was happy to hear that he sent a money order that he had them sign for. Now lets hope they gave their real name and didn't wear rubber gloves.
This notification letter that I am reporting has done me no harm as I did NOT reply to it. I did however want to get the word out to others that it is STILL going around and could be coming soon to a mailbox near you.
Do yourself a favor and run... Do not walk to the nearest trashcan.
