I too have received the "Account Award Notification". This one is for 2, 500, 000 and yes, they want $20 which immediately throws up the big red flag. Here is my thing, they state point blank that you have won this money. That makes it mail fraud. I am really tired of these people getting away with mail fraud. I am seriously considering either leveling a law suit or at least notifying the AG and seeing if my local city newspaper would be interested. This is absolutely MAIL FRAUD and it is against the law here in the U.S. anyway.
Chances are good their either completely phony or an LLC with no assets. However, I, like you are so tired of people being cheated out of their hard earned money that I am willing to risk some time and a bit of money and go after these pric_s. If anyone would like to talk about this concept, email me at peshelton@comcast.net. I have no idea how many people actually send them the $20, but I'm guessing a significant number. You don't often get anything so blatantly fraudulent and good people don't expect it, especially if they don't know to check things out online. It's just wrong, I'm pissed off and not going to take it anymore!
