International Award Advisors Fraud/lottery

Money and prize Eligibility notification stipulated amount 2, 500, 000.00 Official signature Carol Walker. They want $20 to process the report, you will never see your $20 again! They are probably making quite a bit of money with this scam, if 1000 people return the form, they will pocket $20, 000.00. What a scam! And they target the poor elderly people who probably need that $20 to buy food!

International Award Advisors Award Account Notificaton

I too - along with several others - have received notice in the mail stating that $2, 500, 000.00 will be awarded to me after I submit $20 to claim my prize. I believe these notices are generated from an address/call list of anyone that has toured or accepted a vacation package thru a timeshare company. A few years ago, I accepted a vacation package to visit five different venues. For the most part, the package was legit, however, addtional fees are involved while on the trip and the hotel accomodations are nothing to brag about - very low budget. Since then, I've received additional calls and now this fake payoff letter. I'm not sure how to get off their list. I'll write again when I find out. In case, do pay the money - you'll only feel douped in the end

International Award Advisors SCAM/Mail Fraud

Recieved same document that everyone else has on this complaint board! Asking for 20.00 to process winnings of 2, 500, 000.00 with the same DOC# as Suzie Q. posted in Feb ! Why hasn't someone done something about this? It is a very legal looking document and I am glad I was smart enough to check it out on the big E 1st. Even though 20.00 is not much, can you imagine how much this "person" (I use the term losely!) is stealing from innocent people! Why doesn't some LAW enforcement stke out the PO BOX and then force these ### to pay everyone that they sent a letter to the 2, 500, 000.00! Now that would be justice!

IAA waited until the legitimate lottery sponsored by magazines was under way so that the unsuspecting would think it was a part of that contest. It never occurred to me that the $20 could be part of a scam. I agree that given the address of IAA, why hasn't law enforcement done something about this scam.

International Award Advisors Fraud

I got the same award notification as many others, what a joke! This fake company that is sending these award letters out, need to be stopped! I was smart enough to look up on the net but many people do not have access to this and waste $20.00 hoping that they are lucky enough to won 2.5 million dollars. That would be the American Dream, to bad it is a scam. To bad that this Carol Walker has enough balls to put her name on such a scam. These people who run this scam should worry about saving the money that they are wasting on sending out these fraudalant documents out and think about saving it for a lawyer or paying off the bad guy that they will be sharing a jail cell with. People who do this, worst people in the world. How do they wake up in the mornings thinking that this is a good thing. These people are nothing bu thieves, big big thieves. What comes around, will go around. And these scammers, call themselves human beings?

International Award Advisors Being ripped off

Times are very hard for me and i'm living in dire times when jobs are slim and finding work to support my family and paying bills is difficult. Somewhere out there i have been targarted because of my situation and i think that other people who find it hard to make ends meet have been targeted also.
Retired older adults, people with bad credit, or just having a bad time finaically are in the system out there somewhere just waiting for those scammers who know how to get that kind of information so that they can build a persons hope in thinking that they have won lots of money when it's all a lie. This letter had me believing that i would get $2, 500, 000.00 but it was too good to be true until i checked it out on the internet. Just how do these scammers get my address is a puzzle to me. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPED

I received several letters from this company telling me I was guaranteed to win 2, 500, 000.00 and to send 20.00 check cash or money order for a processing fee. This company is fake and the checks and letters are fake. I am 7mts pregnant and really could use this money and my family and I were very excited only to find out it was all a lie.. 20.00 is alot to someone like me and I hope someone out there is doing everything they can to find these evil people and put them away... If you or anyone else recieves a letter from this company file a complaint!

As I often receive these types of "notifications" on-line, i have never received one through the mail. But, as others have noted, who asks for money from a contestant winner!

Letter, top of which has "Payment Notice" blazing across what looks like a check written to "Confirmed Recipient" above my name and address, arrived today (10/13/2017) with a deadline for me to send them $20.00. That check and my signature on a "Transmittal Authorization" slip will then make me "fully eligible for prize opportunities stated in Prize
Enumeration and Documentation (entry directives) which will be rushed to me..." Earlier in the letter, it states: "..is your Official Notification that you have been definitely qualified and confirmed eligible to immediately receive $3, 175, 536 Cash/Prize Payment Enumeration and Documentation (last 6 words in bold face type) win opportunities, which will be transferred to you upon receipt of your signed..."

This is definitely intent to defraud people out of $20. I'm 78 years old and $20 is important to me. Is there some protection against these people?

I received this award today in the mail, that I won 2, 500, 000.00 apparently I am the winner of this money and as soon as I send in $20.00 I will immediately start receiving payments. Little did they know, I received 3 other notices that day winning a car, $3million and something else so I went on line to a post office look up site. There is no such post office box of 98779 in las vegas. People check things before u send anything. Thanks to ur comments I was able to see for myself it was a scam.

I received a letter on February 8, 2017 from Carol Walker with the International Award Advisors saying that I was a recipient for a cash award of $2, 500, 000.00 and I needed to send them a $20.00 processing fee. I don't understand how these people keep getting away with this! I thought that using the U. S. Mail was a federal offense! Why can't we stop these people!

There are so many scams out there now, that every time I receive anything I google it and check it out. And 95% of the time it is a scam! Why can't the Government crack down on these people?

As usual, THE CRIMINAL HAS RIGHTS AND THE VICTIM HAS NONE! No wonder they keep doing it because they never have to pay for their crime!

Have to write to you because people need to stop this type of SCAM to hurt or to steal from the hurting and poor. First let me give you this information: Identification number to this scam: [protected] in which it all sounds so gooood to the ear. As I read on I was very caution once I read this two page document. Oh MY God has answered my prayers I said to myself; but why the $20 if I won this money then why couldn't they just get the $20 out of all this money?
I wanted to believe that I did win the Sweepstake for $2, 500, 000.00 it would been just on time for this time that we are having economy. I mean I am poor like millions and millions of people alike. I am without a job; I am disable for the present time; and live off little. Not even enough to stretch to the end of the month. By or before the end of the month I am broke and disgusied. I am. However, to receive this type of dirty low down image of fake documents for me to sign that was the second thing they wanted my signature; no way. Then they wanted me to send them $20 dollars WOW I put on my brakes and came to my computer and did a search on these idots... WOW American people when will we stop the madness...
Sorry but I don't do scams...
Thanks but no Thanks; my Lord My God has something way better than that... Praise the Lord that I have some type of sense and good judgment...

I have received several of these money notification letters and ALL of them are SCAMS, please don't fall victim. Much to my regret, I fell for a lottery scam years ago and lost $2300.00. If you receive one of these letters, FILE A COMPLAINT! Keep a copy of the letter for your files. I wish I could get my hands on the crooks that do this to people who are in a financial crisis and just need help. IT IS SO WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS!

International Award Advisors Letter asking for money to recieve an award of 2 or 3 millionj dollars

I received a letter from International aware advisors stating that i had been selected to receive the sum of 3 million dollars, if i pay a fee of twenty dollars. I don't understand why this scam is allowed to go on. Can you imagine how many old people are reaching for that final last chance in life to hit the jack pot. More than likely using their money that they don't even have to get that prize that doesn't even exist. I feel more for them than myself because they are on a fixed income. Mean while these scavengers are taking the money and using it for their personal gain. They will all burn in hell.

I recv'd their fake-o letter that I had won $3, 175, 536.00 ! OMG I am a millionaire! Wrong this is such a scam. They want you to send them $20.00 for 'nominal research and compilation fee'. I went on-line to see if anyone else had become a millionaire as well and sure enough found this is just what I thought it was...a scam. Unfortunately I also found that others had sent in mone. If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. I threw mine in the garbage and kept my twenty bucks.

International Award Advisors I have won money

Today October 5, 2009 I recieved a transmittal Authorization notification stating that I had won $3, 175.563.00. But the catch after I continued to read on is that they wanted a $20.00 fee in order to obtain this money. My question is if you have won this substanial amount of money why isn't this fee taken out of those funds? It's a shame that who ever these people are they are taking money from those in hopes they have actually won this money. Times are hard, and this should be looked into so that this scam can be stopped. I'm glad that I looked on the internet and found out just how many people who had recieved this same notification from these no-good people. So if you recieve this notification think twice before you send the $20.00 fee to only get nothing in return.

Again, these people are typing to get money with their 'bogus' award program winnings. Everyone, needs to be aware that if someone is asking you to send them money to get your reward...Run...Fast...in the opposite direction. It is a 'Rip Off'. Please, let everyone know during these difficult times that there are criminals running wild.

Like many many other people I received the notification that I had the winning number to receive $2, 500, 000.00 and I was to send $20.00 for processing and report fee. I have seen where this goes back to 2009. Why has this not been stopped and false charges brought to this fake company? Save people money and stop scams like this one. You have all the information...go after them !

It's sad to think that some people actually respond to this bogus "award" by sending them $20.00 to receive $2, 500, 000. Come one, would a legitimate company send the notification by regular mail? No phone call? No registered mail? I'll take the tip from a previous person who sent them a monopoly money...I'll draw a $20.00 bill and send it to them. Sheeeeeesh!

I recieved a letter in the mail on 6-1-10 from International Award Advisors saying, "I won $2, 500, 000 and to claim prize I would have to send $20.00 for processing fees and a required signed signiture. But the smart cookie I am I looked up on the internet to see if this was a frudulent document and of course it was spam . It was signed by Carol Walker - Corprate Compliance Officer.

International Award Advisors Attempted Scam

Yay! I just won $2, 500, 000! And all I gotta do is send them $20. Hmmm, you know, if they've got millions to hand out, why do they need my $20? Couldn't they just deduct $20 from my newly acquired $2, 500, 000? Oh, wait. I get it. They can't because it's total BULL S*%#! Who are these people? Please, if anyone has any info on how I can find these A-holes, I'll give YOU my $20. Do these people not know of the internet & it's endless supply of precautionary information about scams just like this one? Seriously, I need to know who, where. Anybody...my email is [protected]@gmail.com. I promise that if given valid information that legitimately leads me to the responsible party, I will send you my $20. You have my word. That will have been money well spent, and it will have helped to ensure that these ### don't get anymore poor, hardworking, honest, sucker's money by playing them with the American dream. If I had been naive enough to send my money - in hopes of getting out of debt and helping the people I love get out of debt as well - I'd be 100% enraged right now. I'm all ready feeling pretty friggin pissed. I swear - I'm not about to let this one go. This S%*T ain't over. So far, all I got is some fake name signature on this B.S. certificate (Carol Walker). I'm broke, but for a good lead you can have my $20. Please respond to [protected]@gmail.com. Thanks

International Award Advisors Winner of $2,500,000

I received a letter telling me that I am the winner of $2, 500, 000.00. They said that I must complete the Money and Prize Notification Document attached and send a $20.00 check or money order within ten days to cover their processing and report fee. I knew it had to be a scam and checked it out on line. Don't ever send money to anyone that says you've won something. They should be sending the money if it is legitimate.

There are so many scams today that I hate to say that I don't trust anyone anymore.

realized it was a scam. How can the Government allow businesses like this to operate to defraud citizens and more times than many it's the poor

International Award Advisors Payment Notice $3,175,536.00 - Scam/Fraud

I received the International Award Advisors letter on Friday and sent off the $20.00 check as requested before the deadline for the Transmittal Authorization. The paper work looked pretty official to me and a friend. However after further investigation I'v found that it is some kind of SCAM/FRAUD. I received the exact same letter that was scanned and shown on this site.

By now this Paul Terry should have collected about $3, 175, 536.00 after all the money he's scammed out of people.

Is there anyone out there listening what can be done?

I just wanted to thank everyone for the complaints on here. My boyfriend and I received a letter in the mail much like the rest of you. We too were going to send the $20.00, but decided to get on-line and check to see what kind of company would ask for a $20 processing fee when you can take $100 out of my $2.5 million winnings?!?!?! Hopefully the person who is doing this will get back what they deserve. Karma is a ..., well you already know the rest of the sentence. We returned the letter in the return address with the initials DNM on it in big red letters, but only time will tell if the company will not mail me anymore of their bogus letters. Good luck to everyone!

I THEN DECEIDED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF MY [censor] AND INSTEAD OF SENDING THEM $20 IM SENDING THEM THE PICTURE TELLING THEM TO KISS MY [censor] HARD, BECAUSE I'M NOT GETTING SCAMED YOU ARE. I HAVE CHILDREN AND A HOME WITH BILLS TO JUST GIVE UP $20 TO SOME [censor] WITH NO LIFE. HOPE THEY CATCH THESE JERKS AND MAKE THEM PAY $2, 500, 00.00 TO GET OUT WITH A $20 PROCESSING FEE BEFORE THE JUDGE WILL SEE THEM. SUMONE NEEDS TO GIVE THEM A TASTE OF THEIR OWN [censor]!

I received such a notification letter yesterday, 3/3/10 from International Award Advisors. My first thought was the notification was nothing more than a scam. The letter contained vague and conflicting language, obviously meant to distract an excited recipient from the details of the wording. When looking at the details, the reader sees that the letter actually promises nothing more than "opportunities" to win cash or other prizes. What a fortune "Ms. Carol Walker" must expect to make by asking all of these letter recipients to send $20.00 for "processing" fees. I did not send the twenty dollars. However, I did send a copy of the comments from this site in the return envelope included in the notification mailing.

I received a letter today from C A International Award Advisor, stating that I won

$2, 500, 000, 00. I was excited thinking about all the things ; I could do for my

family. I knew this had to be a fraud, because the BBB, stated that a cash prize winning

or prize of any sort does not require money exchanged . The only obligation of the

winner is filing a1099 tax and signing a affidavit that gives then total responsibily of

the taxes for the cash winnings. But I still wanted to confirm my suspicions, they were

accurate. Another red flag was, there was no telephone number; no mailing address

only the P.O. Box .

Why couldn't this have been a letter of confirmation from Publishers Clearing house?

Your our next $10, 000, 000.00 winner!

P.S. I will be

But before I started to get to happy. I logged on the website to make sure this was

a legitimate company

I received a notice on 12/11/09 from PIB(prize Information Bureau) and decided to check on the web to see if this was possibly a scam since it advised me to send back $20.00 for basically a processing fee. Sure enough got a grade "F", big-time scam. Today I get the same type of letter from "Award Account Notification" specifying that I am a confirmed winner of $3, 327, 450.oo. I just have to send in $20.00 for again a processing fee. I go on-line again and see George and Veronica Foxworth's complaint and I 'm dealing with the same international advisor, Carol Walker, except now she is the "Corporate Compliance Officer". I think the old adage to remember here is, " If it looks too good to be true it probably is". Thanks everybody for letting people know what's going on and hopefully they won't be able to get their "$20.00 processing fee anymore. When you think about it that adds up pretty quickly.

I received this scam today. When I first opened it I didn't have time to look closely at it but I did see the $20 fee and a red flag went up. Once I had time to read it carefully, the word "opportunities" jumped out at me. That and the fee told me this is a scam.

My husband just recieved one of these letters also for 2, 500, 000 and we were sure it was a scam so I got on here to verify. We have been scammed before I had to go in and talk to the police and everything. Back before it was known about the bad checks I got one for something I was selling and ended up owing the bank and had to prove to the police that I didn't know the check was a fraud. That was very scary. They were never able to track the scammers down and this is horrible of these people I even sent them a nasty email and left a nasty voicemail obviously no email or call back. Everyone needs to not trust anything like this they will even all you. We have been having calls for my mother in law and they say oh we were told she lives there but we live in a different state. They say they are going to take her to court unless she settles and pays a debt with them but they are not even a real company. We have even had a friend of ours called for about us before they never actually call the person that they are supposedly looking for. They are hoping that the person will either call in and pay or that the person they contacted will to help out. They are buying references from other companies and then tracking them down for this. So yes that means anyone you have ever used as a reference on anything can be contacted and them or you harrassed and scammed. They need to really start taking some legal action against these people it is getting way out of hand and maybe if some of them start going to jail it will detour others. Also last thing I saw someone else say if you really won it wouldn't have bulk mail stamping on the envelope our letter did not it was an actual single stamp.

I thought to myself yea right what a scam and to good to be true, so I googled them and as soon as I typed their name in, the word scam popped up before I even got a chance to finish looking them up lol. I even had a company call me and claim I had 1 million dollars pending at their company located somewhere in Florida. I straight hung on the guy who was telling me I won, this guy threw on a fake Bill Cosby accent, and tried to fill my head with lies so then he transfered me to another guy talking bout suscribing to some magazines, and once they asked for my debit card number I hung up and they kept calling me back to back to back. I been scammed before and it wont happen again. People these scammers need to be put to justice and in prison for messing with people's emotions, we are in a never ending recession, they can't do that to people.

If you search the ip address you will find that most of them are from Nigeria or another foreign country trying to make it appear as if the email originated here in the USA and from a reputable company such as Bank of America, Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, and many other awards, ect... but in fact did not.

Received Award Account Notification confirmed 100% positively appointed to receive immediate delivery of prize information data providing access to monies in excess of $2, 500, 000.00...

Right, now all I have to do is send them 20 dollars to process my paperwork and it has to be received by June 11- now if I really won this money don't you think they would give it to me first then ask for processing fees, , , ,

I looked this up and found quite a few complaints, what I don't understand is why nothing is being done to stop this. It appears to have been going on for a long time...

They keep sending me notifications claiming that I won 3, 450, 956.00 and I was ignoring them and the letters kept coming and then I got a letter with a deadline so I was wondering if this was real so I sent a 20 fee well of course I never recieved my funds and what do you know I got another letter today now do yall actually think that youll will get another 20.00 out of me I dont think so. So im gonna send them their envelope back with a note that they might not like this people really need to be stoped.

i recieved in the mail today, nov.17, 2010 a letter saying i won 2, 500, 000.i am always skeptical about these things. i just recived another one in the mail last month saying i won an exorbatent amount in the millions and all i needed to do was to send 10.00 dollars to an address in australia. my first clue was i had to pay them. and also i did not register or play any lottery or sweepstakes game in another country.i am so glad something inside my head said to check online to see if there is a website when i couldn't find a phone number in new york. there is no such sweepstakes or lottery. just some lazy person or people who dont want to get off thier lazy a** and go do an honest days work. on a real job.i think the government needs to go to the p.o.box and do an investigation on the people getting into this post office box and put a stop to it immediatly.BEWARE, IF YOU GET ANYTHING IN THE MAIL OR EVEN ONLINE AND THEY ASK FOR MONEY BEWARE IT MOST LIKELY IS A SCAM. YOUR MONEY IS YOUR MONEY WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY ANYTHING ELSE TO GET IT.YOU DONT PAY TO GET A PRIZE. I AM GLAD I FOUND THIS WEBSITE BEFORE I WASTED 20.00 DOLLARS.

I received a letter showing that I would be awarded the amount of $2, 500, 000.00 if I submitted CASH or check in the mail to a P.O. BOX for the International award advisors...this has to be a scam - otherwise the check would be in the mail !
