Report

The envelope return address is PO Box 2900 New York, NY 10002, but is postmarked Los Angeles CA May 21, 2026. A check for $9800.00 is enclosed written from REMAX Capitol Properties 4000 Central Ave. Cheyenne, WY 82001.

The letter is addressed to my mom, and indicates, like so many other's posts, that she wins $750,000, that she is to contact her claims agent (Mr. Michael Smith) for method of payment, that the enclosed check is a sponsership check for out-of-pocket expenses and that it is to be kept confidential. It is dated May 7th, 2026 and says it must be processed within 5 business days. It took them two weeks to send it and we received it 5/26. I am attaching a copy of the letter with her name and address blocked out. It looks very official, except for their missing address, etc. in the letterhead, and the check looks real.

My number had come up in 1 mil dollar Oracle Annual donation.. That text came from 302 534 9949 and advised me to claim my winnings urgently by texting 803 460 0270. I could find no owner of the 302 number and although saw a name attached to the 803 number, offer looked suspicious and I never texted to “claim my prize urgently “

This number had called my phone, knowing my home address first and last name claiming that I won a sum of $3.5 million by donating to an animal charity of last year.. they said I had one week to claim this win before the win expired and that I would have to ask for a loan of $1800 because I did not have any funds available in my account. The 1800 would be used to get the earnings and would also be apart of the taxes “ owed on this winning “ they had claimed that after I paid 1800 or was loaned this money they would set up an “ in person appointment with any bank that I choose to receive my wins “

Mailer received (postcard) stating "You are a finalist in our Viking River Cruise Getaway! Plus First-Class Airfare for 2!" Scratching off "lucky numbers" revealed a match, which supposedly meant that recipient was a "Grand Prize Winner" who should call the number and give the offer code ZC0531 "to receive one of the following gift" (sic): - Viking cruise, Caribbean cruise, Sony TV, or Alaska cruise. A $50 Amazon gift card also was promised on the postcard.

Received bulk mail with a Viking cruise logo saying I am a finalist in their river cruise giveaway plus first class airfare for 2.

I googled to see if a scam and it came up as one and her I am. I did not do anything or call anyone so they have nothing but my name and address.

Scammer( name: Dave Wilson) calls my cell number and tells me that I won $5,000,000 and it was no joke. I played his game and allowed him to mail the documents to my email address. He then called back and told me about a fee to pay, tax I think, and I told him "no thanks" if I have to pay up for winning sweepstakes. He asks if I accept and I said 'no" and he hung up.

I have the documents he sent to me.

My son, who has a mental disability and lives alone, received an email that he won a sweepstakes. He then filled out the form that they requested and a check for $1700 was mailed to him. He then cashed the check thinking that it was legitimate. He will not tell me where all of the money went. He told me that he did not mail anything to these people, but I'm very unsure about this. The bank called today and told him that it was not a good check, so he had to come up with $1700 to pay the bank back. The check was from Purefitness, LLC. The bank was JPMorgan Chase Bank of New York City. The routing number is the correct routing number for the bank.

A letter with a 'winning number'. Instructed to scratch off two circles; if numbers matched I would win one of four grand prizes. If I called within 48 hours, I would get a $50 Amazon gift card. The prize was called a 'Viking River Cruise' but that was not given as the company name. Offer code given: PTC0430 The giveaway is splnsored by PTCL (whatever that means) and is not affiliated with any of the Viking or other cruise lines.. A search on the phone number led me to this webpage.

Scammer claimed i had won 4.14 million dollars also a additional check of 450 thousand dollars. I had won this money on a scratch off ticket. Anyone that knows me knows i NEVER buy scratch off tickets..NEVER. I had my mother listen with me when i put it on speaker. All i had to do was buy a " Green dot scratch ticket that i had to buy for 499.00 at any mini mart. I had to do this right away.. The presenters would be here in 1/2 hour to present me with my checks and go with me to my bank to deposit them. When i said i would wait until they came to me then go get the ticket they transfered me to another " agent " to explain this process and how i needed the ticket before they cut the checks to me. No matter how much i told them that i would not get the ticket until they showed up at my door. I knew this was a scam and wanted to get as much info as i could. So i played along to get the state and phone number. They were very persistant with me about getting the ticket i had to purchase for 499.00. That was their main goal. I wanted to report this so people know of this scam.
