Supposedly we can find the winners of the contest at www.sweepsresults.com/million . Well I haven't yet and also had to really read all fine print before I found the actual name of the company so Icould look it up on the BBB. It is not a member but has the address and phone number on it.
The winners were to be listed as of feb 2010. This is March.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I received a notification by the "Award Notification Commission". It wanted me to send 11.89 acquisition fee. This is obviously how they make their money. If I am in a sweepstakes for 2, 000, 000 I shouldn't pay anything. I figure this is a scam. Don't you?
I received this notification in the mail 4 days ago and figured that it must be some type of scam considering that it says that the $11.89 "aquisition fee" is mandatory. First of all what am I aquiring that I have to pay an aquisition fee? You don't pay an aquisition fee for a "chance at" winning something. Why not play the Lottery? It is cheaper and you have about the same chance or greater at actually winning something and it only costs a dollar. Scam all the way.
I received 5 letters coming from Award Notification Commission. All of them says I have won $2, 000, 000. Each of them has "different designs." I've sent all of them in and, yet, I receive more letters. One of the letters spilled the beans. One of the winners in the list--for people who claimed their prize--was named, " Mr. Lee Roy Schmidz."
I checked BBB.org, and confirmed my suspicion. This company conducts in fraudulent business and claims itself to be the official United States, Award Notification Commission. Their intentions is to sell/advertise to you their "premium offer"---something I paid for and never received. This company preys on people, hit by the recession.
Move on, people. If you truly wish to win a lump sum of cash and ascend the recession, play the real lottery. There are wolves in every segment of life. You need to distinguish them in time if you want to survive.
Hi I'm VeralowlifeBrownlee I was sent a AWARD NOTIFICATION from the WORLD HEADQUARTERS PLAZA-PROCESSING AND JUDGING po BOX 2905 KANSAS CITY, KS [protected] UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Well i say we all should file a suit against this company and get more than the two Million Dollars
I also received this scam. When there was no letterhead, no ads for items to be purchased as mentioned in the text of their papers, felt it was a scam. If you think about it, asking for $11 X 100, 000 letters if most respond, they are making money hand over foot.
Mine goes into the paper recycling and glad they wasted the postage on me and many others who are smart to smell this rat scam.
Just got junk in my box today. I agree with you mamacutie3
This is nothing but "SCAM". Stay away from promotions that tell you that you have to pay something. Premium Offers are just garbage. Those people that are taken in usually do not get the Offer to begin with, or they never receive the products. This one is also wriite in very poor english, another giveaway to its corruptness.
Such a Ripe OFF ! WTF ? # [protected] SCAM SCAM SCAM !
I agree. At first I almost felled for their scam! I wish there was some way we could scam them!
Since we all got this scam letter in the mail... isn't this MAIL FRAUD?
Same type of letter. Same old offer. And, I will do the same with this letter. I guess I will continue to play parlay sports, ponies, and the lottery.
I just received this letter too. It's gotta be a scam ! Couldn't find the company name except in the small print. Come on, pay to win money in a contest that says no purchase necessary.
The first thing I noticed was it did not come from Publishers Clearing House and have a million little products for you to purchase.
This is a travesty that they prey on people in this economy with so many folks out of work and needing a "hand Up", me included. Citizens trying to live and provide on unemployment checks, Social Security, etc and along comes someone of this nature, who try to scam them. I believe it is just awful and wish someone could take them "out behind the barn".
i was job searching on the computer when the mail came in, i thought i won the 2 million dollars, did the research, and all i can say is now im back to my job searching sadder than ever lol!
At the bottom of their legal speak insert it says, "No purchase necessary to enter or win" but their $11.89 acquisition fee is mandatory. Scam Scam Scam. If you fall for this you probably voted for Obama.
Also received one of these notifications. As soon as I saw they wanted money : It became garbage. Do NOT send them money people.
yes, i just receved 2 the same day .wow one ask for 5 dollars the other 20 dollars... it s scam...
no Valid 'SWEEPSTAKES' in the US can or will ask for money. this is obviously a SCAM
i got scam to i know this was to good to true.
Got my letter today. It's going in the trash. My $11.89 Premium Offer purchase will get me "a bonfide: $2, 500.00 gift certificate for up to 75% off wonrewards.com online merchandise and service offerings." That is a very confusing sentence. Anyways, that website is full of stuff I will never want. It does say that no purchase is necessary. I would not take my chances folks.
I AM GOING TO GIVE THIS LETTER TO MY ATTN. GEN. OF MY STATE. THIS IS MAIL FRUD AT IT'S HIGHTEST. JUST IMMAGINE HOW MANY SUCKERS RESPOND TO THIS LETTER. NOTE: AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SMALL " OFFICAL RULES SHEET STATES, THAT NO PURCHASE IS NESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. PURCHASING DOES NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING, -----YOU HAVE NOT YET ( WON ). SO WHY SEND THEM MONEY?

ALL "F" Reports! SCAM, Scam! I dont Like Spam scam in a can!
I also received this "OFFICIAL MAIL DELIVERY " WHICH ASKED ME TO SEND THE, $.11.98, i found that this company is not backed by the BBB, i also figure it to be a scam, if i won millions why not take the $11.98 from that !
My Mother-in-law was jumping for joy when she called me to tell me she got THIS letter saying she won $2mil. I could slap the [censored]es like this who prey on these trusting, naive souls. She read me the letter as best she could and I told her NOT to send $, that it was a scam. The logic is obvious...if you won $2mil dollars, why do they need your 'mandatory acquisition fee' of $11.89?...A mandatory fee that is NOT required and does NOT increase your chances of winning...winning...but didn't she already win? I was exhausted trying to gently carry her down from cloud nine and gently place her back into her reality. There is a special place in Hell reserved for these types of predators.
there has to be a webmaster for their page or some way of tracing the address to these worthless people how dare another America citizen Leeds someone to believe they were a winner in these times how could someone do this when my boyfriend opened up his letter of two million dollar winner he had a heart attack and is still in the hospital I've have yet for him to recover to tell him it isn't true the lord will ask these cold hearted sobs about this act of evil they are doing who's gonna pay my hospital bills for this what the hell wheres a pro bono lawyer when you need one this is America come on really who does this sick stuff to other people what if my boyfriend dies because of this then what for some ### playing a joke to gain money from innocent people there's a place for people like this its called hell
i was going to do it until i thought about it you are right, you should not have to pay to be entered into a contest, also you should always look the company up on the computer, one place said thay. filed for chapter 7, how will thay pay the winner but with your money not...
They are still doing this. My husband received one and even got a money order for it. I did a search of the telephone number and came up with your site. Thank you! He was not convinced and until he read this page was going to send it out.. We do not have extra money for this.
Tell you what I am going to do..I am going to send this in and write out a fake paper check for 11.86 and let them know I dont want to purchase anything...and to let them know if I dont recieve my money I will sue them for my two million that they said I won...
I just received the "Official Notification" for my two-million dollars. This is without a doubt a SCAM. Please do not send them any money. This notification has all kinds of wrong on it. First, does not have a date on it; second, the alleged director "James Mallory" does not give any contact information; third, the company's logo or physical address is not provided; fourth, how is it possible to have a "chance to win" and to be the "two-million dollars winner" at the same time? Actual sweepstakes winners would not have to pay anything to get the prize. If this company was real I would suggest them to discount the $11, 89 acquisition fee from the big check they suppose to send me.
Don't waste your money; whom ever is in charge of this scam should be ashamed of him/herself.
I've gotten 6( to daye 12/2/12) from the same address/Kansas City, and each is advertised under a different name. Like the rest of you's, Why send money if I've the 'BIG' prize to 'supposedly' be drawn on 2/28/2013. Doesn't make 2-N-2=4 in my eyes!DAW
scam!i just get it today!i was shock!lol!i thought i win!then i reseach the phone number and seen your comment im so disappointed.now it will go through the trash.scam.they reallly make it like professional.they thought they can fool us.
If you read the "fine print" odds of winning the grand prize is 1 in 90 QUADRILLION! There is only 7.69 BILLION people on EARTH! SCAM SCAM SCAM!
I just received this letter in the mail. This time the prize is three million but guess what the same old acquisition fee of $11.89 remains the same. It really stinks because I can see how someone would be mislead and turn in this little piece of paper with a check we could all use 3 million dollars. What I think though is that some people do not read the fine fine print at the very bottom it says in big bold letters YOU HAVE NOT YET ONE. SO I guess that may be a tale tell sign.
I just got one in the mail today, I'm sending them a letter telling them to send my check or we can go to court and they pay for that!
it's this type bs that pisses me off. First of all how am I winning something I didn't sign up to be in? I just hope some little old people that don't know to look this crap up doesn't fall for this junk.. SCAM****SCAM****SCAM****SCAM****
Well today out of the BLUE. I got a letter from the Award Notification Commission, Never hear of them, and like the letters above it a big SCAM, in the fine print it even show it is. First no one should send money to enter a so call contest. ( they wanted $12.99 for mine),
and they did not have my name correct, I am not Milo, try Martin next time, but in the fine print the odds of winning the Grand Prize of 3 million are "ONE IN 90 QUADRILLION" ?, every lottery in the world has better odds and it may not be in US Dollars. How in the world do these people live with themselves ?
They're still at it. I got one today and couldn't believe the pains they took to make this look like a real deal sweeps entry. Once I started reading, I got a good laugh, until I remembered there's folks out there who fall for this and send money without even researching. I wonder how the NextGen Medical Records Software Company like these dolts using their company name to rip people off? Oh, one thing though; while the odds of winning are still sitting at 90 quadrillion, the fee has now gone up to $12.99. Apparently they're feeling the pinch like the rest of us.
Wow! you would think that some entitiy would shut these scammers down after all this time. I recently moved and they got my address and name through the US postal service when I filled out a change of address. Beware! And also - always remember that if they ask for money, IT IS A SCAM!
Got the same letter to check with Publishers Clearing House they should not give our address out to anyone.
