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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

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.
