- Woodburn, OR, USA • May 28, 2026

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.
