Phone and mail-sweepstakes scam in CT

[Redhatroe in Philadelphia]

I just received the same letter, telling me Final Notice. I was gullible enough to call, talked to Mr. Peter Marsh. Same response, I'll would receive a letter in 10 days, all I have to do is pay taxes in England (app.$10K) and the rest is mine. I questioned him: "Is this for real?", he assured me it was. After I hung up I thought to check the name out in Goggle, and found these comments. I guess it was too good to be true. Someone should notify Home Depot and Wal Mart they are using their names, saying I won the sweeptstakes from shopping there!

My dad received the letter saying he won $250K and to call Peter Marsh or Sarah Hamilton. I googled "Mail Fruad Peter Marsh" and got this web site. Thanks everyone, I was able to assure my dad that it was indeed a fraud, and these people are dispicable.

You really needed to google "Mail Fruad Peter Marsh" to get here and validate what your gut already told you? Really? While you're at it, tell your dad to not trust Bernie Madoff. We all know this news too.

They are still at it, and spreading the country side with false hope. We would all love what that money could help us take care of in our lives. Dream and illusion, wish it were true and good and not a scam but a saint. No one likes to be taken or lied to, the letters are still coming. Be aware and good luck to all.

Still a scam feel to it for sure, twas a nice dream for a moment.

Pharmoney told me I, too, won the jackpot. I mapquested the address in London. The street doesn't exist. I called Home Depot. They confirm this is a hoax. Oddly enough, I received a check for $6,875 today drawn on Citibank on the account of Guildford Publications, 72 Spring St. NY 10012.

I may call Citibank to see if this is a legit check. Maybe their fraud department would like to take over.

Since I shop maybe once a year at Home Depot and never at Wal Mart, I found the whole thing fishy. Too bad.

I have the pleasure of receiving an e-mail weekly from various fools. I just received my first letter via U.S. Mail. I am interested in having anyone start e-mailing them back that there money is on the way. They obviously mass mail these things. I would love to mass mail them back. Any takers.

I got a letter also from Pharmoney Trust. This is not the first time I have received a letter from them, I also got a check for four thousand dollars. They asked me to cash it and send two thousand dollars back. Like I am crazy to cash that check and give them part of it back. I am no fool......

How strange to see we are all Americans/Citizens that have recieved a letter.
I wonder how many people have fallen for their trap?
Best wishes everybody.
