This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Recieved an "Official Mail Delivery" letter stating we had won two million dollars about two weeks ago only they were requesting a processing check or money order for $11.89. Please this is a scam. Dont believe this.

I received the same letter today, asking me to send $11.89 to get the $2, 000, 000.00. On the letter I could not find any phone number to call to verify the sender, that made me think it might be scam. It is a good thing that I checked online.

Ok then the next step to putting an end to the scam is to have people whom live in the area is to go to the PO Box location and stake out the box # and see whom picks up the mail and where they take it. get photographs, license plate #s etc. And see if this is a single individual or in fact a place of business. come back to this site with the info and we can take it from there filing fraudulent claims and place them out of business for good via class action as well as criminal suit. I myself have not fallen for the scam and sent no monies but those of you whom have are entitled to compensation.

Well I Just received the 2 million $ letter as well but while reading it carefully I took notice to the Beautiful faceted crystal pendant which is why they ask for the $11.89. This is not to say it's not a scam but i'm going to research further and see if there's actually a giveaway for the mentioned amount and if not there's a case for suit which can shut this co. down.

I received a letter from these people today, so I decided to check It out on this website, and I know one thing if you ever win money, you should never ever have to pay for your winnings. there's a lot of scams out there, beware.

Funny I just got a letter today and the price went up to 13.89 for premium offer. Don't they realize that if you win there is no fee. Usually taxes and fees are assessed when you go meet them in an official capacity.

I also received a letter stating I won 1, 365, 000.00 and they ask for a 12.99 fee and with no taxes taken out. One always have to pay taxes on won money so that was a red flag. How come the state attorney General is not prosecuting this Awards Notification Commission?

I got a letter today stating that I won $1, 325, 000.00 and to send $11.89. I was about to send a money order but after I did my research and saw everyone's comment about the scam. I will do some more research and get more information and mail it to the FBI to check it out. 9/10 these scammers are either a factory area or something. The address is on the letter maybe the FBI can look there. I'm going to do some searches including pictures involved and I will mail it to the FBI headquarters. And I did figured out how I got this for one I never put information of a bank cuz I don't have any bank accounts, second I never put any other personal information like my social number.

I hate how I am living in my car first granddaughter will be here any day and I had my hopes up with this letter. My emotions and happiness is not be played with especially when it came from our own U.S postal service. Something should be done about these people going around using our gov. To hurt us like that.

My friend just received the same paperwork that said she was a winner of some contest and it turns out to be the same scam that is stated on this page. Unfortunately she sent the $11.89 to the contest people. Afterwards she came to me and told me about her being a winner. I Googled it and found this page. All I can say about this is, and I her, there's a lot of lazy people out there that don't know how to make money the right way. They have to scam people to get money. I told my friend that anytime she gets something in the mail about winning money to call and I'll research it. Thanks for the info! !i...PS if there's a class action suit aginst these people, we're in! !

Anyone know a good Law Firm that would take up a class action lawsuit against this company for fraud? At least contact the Attorney General's office in the State of Kansas and/or the Federal Department of Justice to report this.

Just received the letter yesterday informingme that I won 3 million dollars. The money requested was $11.89 for premium processing. I have not sent the money. Am going to send the form back without money since it states no purchase required just for kicks. Seems like the federal government should become involved. Whatever happened to mail fraud?

I received the same letter from the same company a week ago requesting me to sign and send it back with the $11.89 processing fee. I took it upon myself and call the state of KS and they had no recollection of this award. The FBI needs to really track this scam artist down and shut them down. I cannot imagine how many other people might have fall into this trick and lost their money.

i just received the same letter from the World Headquarters Plaza-Processing and Judging. I was so excited and ready to send the $11.89 in the mail until a friend of the family told me to make sure that it wasn't a scam. Then i went online to verify if it is or not, then to find out that it is a scam. Please don't fall for any of these scams that ignorant people have made up just to get your hard working money.
