On August 29th 2005, I received a large piece of mail marked "Confidential Documents". Upon turning it over, I saw a postal security seal. Normally, Confidential documents are sent by Certified Mail, and you would need to sign for them.
When I opened the large envelope, I pulled out;
1) A "Certified Transaction Advisory"
2) "Form 3011" and "Form 3010" on the same peice of paper
3) A "Document Return Carrier"
To make a long story short, I was to be "formally notified" that I had been awarded $1, 146, 565.00. In numerous places, I found that it stated the aforementioned amount was payable in U.S. Dollars. I looked up to the header of each document to find the Company's name and Address. I noticed they were located in Canada. They also mentioned that there were deadlines that needed to be met, however never mentioned a specific date.
I was instructed to pay $18.00 by Check, Money Order, Visa, or Mastercard. I was told they would be mailing something back to me upon receipt of my money.
I certainly did not take them up on this offer, especially after tracing the mailing as being mailed from Farmingdale, NY. Too fishy for me.
