I have recieved 2 letters informing me that I won a large amount of cash in the sweepstakes... Both were different amounts.. Plus the return address is a po box... Senders name is michael anthony.. I know that this is a scam and I am reporting this because I hope that it would help some else... They also ask me to send 20.00 for processing fee... This is how stupid scammers can be... They want to give you almost 2 million dollars but want you to send them 20 dollars plz dont fall for this scam mony is to hard to come by.. And their is no phone number to be found on any of the papers...
In addition to above, there is a Consumer Information statement on the back of letter that says they are unaffiliated with any organization. Amazing, a company that takes the winning names and addresses of the winners of contests that you didn't enter and tells you that they will send you $1, 800, 000.00 if you send them $20 cash/check/Money Order. But no credit cards are accepted - why then there would be a record and proof of fraud,
i had one come today but the address was po box 9005 island park ny [protected] for the amount of 1, 800.000.00 what a scam huh im not stupid and they are not going to make a living off of my money get a dam job ###s
MY SISTER RECEIVED A LETTER TODAY AS WELL FROM FINANCIAL PAYMENT ANNOUNCEMENT. THEY WERE REQUESTING SHE SEND $20 AS WELL. IT ALSO, HAD THE P.O. BOX 9005, ISLAND PARK, NEW YORK [protected] ADDRESS. THANKS FOR YOUR INFORMATION, IT HELPED TO CONFIRM THIS WAS A SCAM
I received a letter today as well bearing the same P.O. address and requesting that I send them $20 for the amount of $1, 800.000.00. Wow this is crazy. Something needs to be done to this so call company and this person Michael Anthony...
BIG SCAMM horrible people doing this is wrong and must be stopped! I also received a letter with the same P.O. Box 9005 Island Park, NY Looks so legit it could fool anyone. Thank you for posting this and you (other people) god bless you all. Hope and pray they prosecute this so called Michael Anthony or whomever it is doing this.
This is really ###, i never got this kinds of skim within my whole life, please just be what should be as a human being, be satisfied always what you have presently. Think ! Its kinds of fraud with whole people in the world. If you want to think about yourself, please take a time at least three days, God Bless You to great Rich...
Me too, rec'd letter from this Michael Anthony, telling I will be receiving $1, 800, 000.00 but have to sent $20.00. At first I was so excited, but I prayed and asked for guidance, then I went to google to search this Financial Payment announcement and found out this is scam.
Thank God, He guided me. I save my $20. All of us should be vigilant in this kind of fraud.
Got same letter from our good friend Michael Anthony. I retrned the letter they wanted me to sign with a big SCREW YOU in red where my signature was supposed to go. I then mailed the "love letter" in the return envelope they provided without a postage stamp or return address. Hopefully they will get it and have to pay the postage only to find my terms of endearment inside! I hope they get a chuckle out of that.
Got same letter stating I won PLEASE>>>>PLEASE>>> lets stop these idiots from scamming people.. Guaranteed of Cert. of Authenticity..$12, 000 If need to add me to complaints. Email me if you can if you have any evidence I will help.. dave9475@yahoo.com
wow so many winners here my wife got the letter also today, send 20.00 and get 1, 800.000.00 what a deal if i send in 40.00 would i get double that ? what a scam, spam, ... well there goes my new car and boat and everything else easy come easy go ...
I recieved the same letter today from the same Michael Anthony only the letter says it is from Plainview NY. Once I saw that they were asking for 20$ in order for the pay out I got suspicious. The only sweepstakes I enter are Publishers Clearing House. No where's on the letter did it say that it was from them. I sure would like to win this amount of money but no way can I afford to pay 20$. That money is hard to come by for me as we are an extremely low income house hold with no income except student loans. It is a shame that people will try to take advantage of poor people like us. Thank you for this website as it prevents a lot of people from getting scammed.
I would really like to know how the heck they got my name and adress. Kind of un nerving
Come on now if whom ever this is would spend as much time working, maybe they would not have to scam others to make money. Ridiculous!
I too received the Same B.S. latter from Michael Anthony a win on 1.800.000.00 send 20.00 bucks...I know the Feds know about this Group..What i don't understand is why, they are allowing them to continue, Scam Millions of dollars every year from lower income people, that really need that money for there Family's..They need to be the winners here After All.. and have this Group win a concrete home with 3 meals a day for life...So Feds get off your Butts a Stop this NOW...How meany Complaints do you need?Before you Act?...Mr. McCloud of McCloud9
I too, got the exact same mailing. Anyone notice the announcement says a lot of nothing!, Sure this isn't coming from our own government. But really, why can't these butt-heads be tracked down & arrested?
I too received the exact same letter in the mail today. Anyone notice is said a lot of nothing? Sounds like its from a government official! But really, why can't this ###(s) be tracked down & arrested. The government wastes more money on stupid stuff like finding out how far a frog can jump. Just an idea why don't they spend this money getting these scam artist and putting them behind bars?
Just read a ton of letters from a lot of people. I agree, where are the "YES MEN"? Too many frogs jumping? It's a shame we live in a country that can allow the working or lower class citizens be scammed by the biggest losers and I don't mean the people loosing weight. We all struggle to feed etc ... our families. There are many alphabet soup groups out there that should be able to nip this in the per viable too-sh. FBI being one of the bowls of soup.
I just received that letter and a lot of other letters stating the same or identical thing from the same person. even though it would be very nice to have that kind of money "Why should I/we have to send anything if I/we have won, " REALLY dose these jumping frogs think that we all are stupid to fall for that? And the people that's desperate who need it will be the ones to lose because they want to jump into the pound, not knowing how to swim. And as for the soup whats up with CIA, along with the FBI? as we all seem to feel our country is going to the pigs...Where are they when we the little people needs them? can anyone tell me? Thank you all for your comments.
I rcvd 3 letters today if anyone get these watch out:
1st letter from michael anothony f.P.A for $1, 800, 000.00
2nd letter from robert richards d.R.S $1, 400, 000.00

I swear these people have way too much time on their hands ugh so frustrating!
can someone stop these people it is very bad that they playing these games. we are in very hard times and trying to put food in our tables for our families . hope they will get punish soon.
I just.recieved.the.letter in the mail today. I don't undersand why Igot to pay 20.00, if I justwon one million eight hundred thousand. Sexy JMB 44!
I just received one today I just send it back and said no thanks these people. Are very heartless I hope their punishment come soon ( life imprisonment )
I received the same letter today I just send it back and said no thanks. I hope these fools get caught soon and place in prison for life. The law need to clamp down on these people and then let them pay back all the money they collected form innocent people. (wicked people)
this is either a very stupid ### man or a very smart as man, in either case i wish there was some way he could held responsible for any damages he may cause for anyone who is stupid enough to fall for this, and if there is reporting institution or juridiction which this type of stuff can be reported please provide to the public, this kind of crap needs to be stop.
My husband also rec'd the same letter today (12.8.2012).
We knew it was a scam right off the bat.
The ### is, someone will fall for this.
Another reason to love the internet.
Thank You, the letter looked suspicious. If I won a million and eight dollars, I believe I should not have to up front anything. Thank you whom ever informed me first. You are exactly right there is no phone number and the letter looked like a copy of a copy.

TN, McMinnville I also received a statement today (1/7/13) stating I was rewarded $1, 800, 000. The forms (Delivery & Notice) & (Delivery / Release) looked so official that at a glance I got excited. However, after reading and examining it, I had my doubts. I then got online and began to looked up FPA and Michael Anthony. That is when I found this website. I know for sure now, that it really is a scam. I am so glad we have this website.
Got same letter from exact same address (P O Box 9005 Island Park, NY signed by Michael Anthony) received today Wed 2/13/13. Needed money; thusly thought this was my answer from God. Prayed about it...distinctly felt lead to do a computer search. Now I see that this has been going on for years to innumerable victims; using the very same address and same person named Michael Anthony. Would have thought that by now the Feds would have caught up with this despicable operation to not let such an entity exploit the most vulnerable of society. Goes to show you where our government's priorities rest.
People trust God and Him alone, through Christ Jesus.
I am now getting phone calls. They get mean and want to know why I will not except the winners amount . They claim I will receive a bill in the amount of 2500 dollars for not claiming. The lastest is I write down Phone Numbers and return calls to that Number and they say what is name of person who called that they have people all over different states who contact people. Told me I could go to New York and pick up the money from a vault there. Please do they think people are that stupid? Please cant the goverment put a stop to this.fk
I received a letter today stating the same thing that I have won 1, 800, 000.00 and to send him (Michael Anthony) 20.00 for processing fee to Custom service 2435 Highway 34 Suite 345 Manasquan, NJ 08736. It seems they keep changing their address. Don't fall for their scam.
