$2,536,092.23 send $20.00 to recieve the bonded federal carrier, send before 1/05/12
I got a letter in the mail stating I will get a cash sum of 2, 536, 092.23 if I send 20.00 dollars to PRIA before 1/5/12. The signature is unreadable and there is no printed name to know who is sending the letter. People do not send this fake company your money. It is the biggest scam ever...

SCAM! Youwon Over 2 million dollars.
Luckily I was smart enough to check this out on internet, where I found that alot of people weren't so lucky. My heart stoped when I first opened this letter. I thought ALL MY PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED. Than I thought this has to be to good to be true. So I Googled it and sure enough thats when I found the scam and fraud complaints. So I'm not out anything. Just wanted to let people know.

I keep reciving Verification documents from the above name company wanting cash, check or postal money order payable to T&D in order to recieve pending award
I Ms. Byrd from North Carolina receive 3 notifications from this illegal prize center business that promise me millions of dollars this month. This business is not honest. This business is running a scam to every household in the country. They want you to send cash, money order or check for there on selfish greed. Disreguard all notifications from this Illegal Prize Center business that is sent too your home address because they will not send you or me a dime in what you or I suppose too have won. P.S. They also will use different names of there business to promote but use the same P.O Box address to get you too believe that you have won.

Sounds really good but i know its a scam.
This is sooooo wrong! How can our government let ### like this go through the mail. Thank GOD I have more sense then to believe in this. But there are so many people out there who are trusting and fall for this ### !
I keep getting these letters also, I was wondering if this was for real, I kinda didn't think so. Thank for the info everybody
This is not a scam, as they do exactly what they say. The catch is that the letter is written in such a way that leads you to believe that you have won a substantial amount of money but if you read it carefully, you will find that it does not say that you have won anything. In fact, it says the opposite. On the back of the letter is the fine print (or in this case, hidden print), in which it says, "THIS NOTIFICATION IS NOT A WINNER'S NOTICE...PRIA" (Prize Research Intelligence Agency) "DOES NOT AWARD AND/OR HOLD CASH PRIZES OF ANY SORT." So first of all, read every word of every side of every page enclosed in the letter and if you are still unsure, contact the establishment so that you know exactly what you're getting into before you send any kind of payment.
What this establishment does is provide you with a newsletter that lists sweepstakes that do not require a purchase (free) to enter. They are merely letting you know about sweepstakes of which there is a possibility of winning. They NEITHER distribute winnings or hold sweepstakes, NOR do they state that they do.
They mislead you by making you believe that you have won in order to get you to sign up but if you read everything, they state exactly what they do. It's not new; people have been using this technique for a long time and it is legal. They do not lie. The information is there - you just have to look for it.
In conclusion, if you want to get information about sweepstakes that you can enter for free then pay the fee and receive the newsletter. If not, throw the letter away. So many people get duped into things because they don't read or research something before they do it. One thing that may help in the future is this: Be wary of anything that asks you to pay a fee to recieve winnings or that asks for credit card numbers, bank account information, or too much personal information. Also, if it's too good to be true...
Phony offer to pay $2M prize
I also received this phony claim to pay over $2M after returning their "documents" with a $20 filing fee. Online research confirms this award from PRIA is an obvious SCAM. However, why not lets help them OUT if they sent you a Paid, Self Addressed, Return envelope. Be sure to return their envelope with your request they deduct the $20 fee from your "cash accounting" and forward you the balance of your award. You won't get the award, but you will get a small sense of satisfaction in their having to pay for postage. I wonder how much it would cost them if every recipient returned their S-A-S-E?

I received a letter yesterday asking for just $20 and I would win over 2, 000, 000 dollars. Yeah right! I sent them a letter back telling them to deduct the 20 dollars out of my 2, 000, 000 dollars and send me the rest. I also told them they should feel horrible and be put in jail for tricking people who really need the money, out of their money.
i also got a legal notice letter today from prize research intelligence agency. i had won 2, 342.000.00 all i needed to do was send 20;00 dollars and sign the form. and send in before 11/3/2011. i also get calls all during the day and night. i have threatened to call the police and the attorney general, but the phone calls keep coming.. i did call the police and they were suppose to be working on this but i have not heard anything. also called the attorney general but lady did not seem real interested. they have even sent me a check for 6, 000 dollars, i called the bank it was written on and they told me it was a scam. said all they wanted me to do was deposit the check in my account then they would clean my account out. so be careful do not fall for these crooks
I received the same letter in the mail. who wins that kind of money aand only has to put out 20 dollars to receive it. Scam written all across the board. The only thing PRIA got from me was their envelope and a note saying SCAM.
I too, received a letter from this same company and agree that anyone asking for $20 in order to receive money are scammers and should be sued! I mailed them the letter back and I am waiting on my check to come in (Ha, Ha)! Rhonda in North Carolina
I received the exciting news that I too have won a prize totaling $2, 536, 092.23! How wonderful for me and my church. I will send PRIA my response and ask them to kindly deduct the $20 transfer fee from my check that they will rush to me by "bonded federal carrier". Sorry, I have to go now and wait for the "bonded federal carrier"! Get a real job PRIA! Defrauding hard working and retired citizens does not qualify! I can tell you need lots of prayer!
this is ### these people are wrong im goin to sue the ### out of them hope ur reading these
this is ### if ur readind this pris im going to sue the hell out of yal go to hell and stop
I want to Thank all of you for your part in letting others know Prize Research Intelligence Agency are scammers! I like the idea of sending them back a note and that is what I am going to do as I received this letter today. I, too felt it must be a scam and ran to the computer to check them out! There was 2 clues they weren't legit, first the $20 fee and secondly the PO Box. Thanks again!
This is an excellent idea! And is exactly what I did when I received one of these letters telling me I won millions but needed to send a $20 processing fee, in cash, check or m.o. I wrote them back saying, "hey if I really won $2million dollars I certainly wouldn't mind if you deducted the $20 processing fee out of the $2million and mailed me a check for the balance", and I mailed them that response in their s.a.s.e. that they thought I would be putting my hard earned 20 bucks in...needless to say I never heard back from them.
VERY GOOD IDEA! JUST RECEIVED THE EXPRESS NOTICE FROM PRIZE RESEARCH INTELLIGENCE AGENCY ON THE DAY PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF ONE MILLION A YEAR FOR LIFE SWEEP STAKE. . WHAT A SCAM. THE $20 DOLLAR FEE WAS A RED FLAG AND THE ASKING FOR IT IN CASH, ( ANOTHER FLAG) CHECK OR MONEY ORDER. I GOOGLED AND REPLY WITH A REQUEST...THANK YOU .
Prize Notification
I received a letter from this place claiming that I won 2, 342, 000.00 Dollars. And that I needed to sign the Paper and send them 20.00 Dollars with it. And it needed to be post marked before Midnight on 12/03/2009.
The check needed to be made out to PRIA.
This isn't the first prize notification letter that I have received. I get them in the mail practically everyday from different people. Including checks that I received that were a scam also just to get my bank account numbers. Isn't there a way to stop these people from scamming people out of there hard earned money.
Thank you for your time.

I received a letter today Sept. 14, 2011 saying, " Prize Research Intelligence Agency has identified $2, 342, 000.00 in non-disbursed funds that are currently pending payment, but still remained unclaimed." There was no request for $20. on mine. The only requirement was to return a form before the deadline Sept. 18, 2011. I sent the form off & will let you know if I get the money of if they send me a letter asking for money to claim my funds. It seems everyone I read so far was asking for $20. but this one did not..so we will see. I am sure it is a scam because I did not enter any contest.
I just recived my letter from those no good four four people, am very hurt didn't no any betterand send them $20.00 so i called the BBB.on them and found that it was fake and am hurt so i wish somthing could be done at the Post Office.someone is picking up that mial .this was send out to me 06/04/2011.Thank to all those like me who were victum open me eyes .in Hammoma, La D.Taylor
My name is Clifford Smith and when this hit my hand i jumped with joy, thank god i didn't do what i said ill do to my boss and people whom made my life a living hell over the years. However the surprizeing joy ran me wild. All my jumping with joy ending with a saddest note. It remind me to be carefull for what i wish for and be content with what I have.
Yes, I received this same letter today. I simply returned their requested info with copies of some of your comments. Thanks for the heads-up on this. This is Dec. 31, 2010. You'd think they would be out of business by now, but guess that there are wishful folks...just like us...always hoping for big money ...all for only $20.00! Hope this helps someone else! I wonder if anyone has ever won, other than those who have created this scam!
Hi. I have just received one of the letters in the mail today about the 2, 342, 000.00 funds and that I had to send them 20 dollars for them to release it. Of course i knew better and figured this was a scam because of the fact that I could not understand the signature of the so called Claims Coordinator. I have receive several letters simler to this one in the past and all of which was just scams too. I was upset about this and mailed the letter back to them and wrote on the back of the signature form (SCAM SCUMS). People please, if you receive a letter(s) in the mail to prize winning that you did not enter for or know about, you must take the action to do your RESEARCH FIRST before you decide to send them ### a dime.
Thank You and you All have a Bless Day.
I won!
If you look at the top under their insignia they can't even spell intelligence (intelligency). I too received one of these, but since I see this kind of stuff daily being a Sergeant for a police department and for the fact that I have common sense, I knew it was fake. Plus they sent it to me at the police department address! Everytime someone sends them $20.00 they get richer while you get poorer, you will never get the millions you suppossedly won in a suppossed lottery or sweepstakes that you never even entered. Why are there still so many people so gullable? Why are there people still not understanding the concept if it sounds to good to be true than it is! Listen people, you do not win lotterys that you don't play! In fact you very seldom win ones that you do enter or play, so come on wake up already! I do feel bad for people when they come in a make a report taht they were ripped off, but come on where have you been there are more scams then there are actual real sweepstakes. Look into it first before sending them money or giving them your life information and bank accounts. Its easy to do.

Yeah, I got one of these also, I prayed to Obama to help me out in my finacial struggle and by the grace of god, I recieved this letter. I stole $20 from the church offering plate and sent it to them. Now I am a millionaire and I still get food stamps. Life don't get much better, remember this november vote for Obama, our lord and saviour ! We shall overcome ! I got my money sucker !
My husband went to the mail box and he has a letter saying he won.. WTH? I knew it was bull bc it's a P.O. BOX.. Never send anything to a P.O. BOX people. We are in IL.
Its funny, that even if we keep writing these bad comments about this company theres nothing going to be done about it. Yes sure it may help some people,
but why is the law not involved in this matter. Yes they warn us on tv ect; But why not make these people pay for what there doing to others, they can charge a mother for useing someone's address for there childs education, and lock up someone who takes something out of a store that was'nt payed for so, why can't they do something about the people who are taking our hard earned money. Let me guess its our fault! some people win things and thats what some of us go on and someone like me think on my toes. I'm going to end this saying if you have to send money to get it than its there's not yours please wake up nobody cares about your hard working money but you.
that's what i did to, no postage necessary so they have to pay to get it back to check it...so i made it as heavy as i could and sent it back
I received on today. I cross out the section where it said to send $20.00 to PRIA and wrote YOU MAY DEDUCT $20, 000.00 FROM MY PRIZE. Since they have to spend the money on printing and mailing, if we all send this crap back to them, hopefully they will go broke.
Been sending them money because they promised me I won millions
I have been receiving several letters from Prize Research Inteligence Agency. They have sent me several Transmittal Authorization forms for Payment Pending Account for $2, 342, 000.00, Received a fake pending cash dispersal check for $2, 342, 000.00, several Payment Pending Memorandum forms for the same amount, a Gold Medal Advantage winner form for $3, 469, 751.14, an Express Notice Tracking Form that said I had to sigh it and they would send me my winnings of $2, 536, 092.23, An Authorization Document saying they will rush me my cash payment for $2, 024, 987.00, an Opportunity Rights Acceptance form For $2, 700, 000.00. I have sent $20 to them 14 different times because their forms said it was legal. I just found out today its a scam and I'm out $280.00. I wish I would of found your website and known about these people when I got their first letter. Thank you for your website. Please contact me at [protected]@live.com if there is anything I can do to put these criminals behind bars and get my money back.
Sincerely,
David Wymer

This is what I am doing... I am sending the envelope back to them with Fraud on one side and Scam on the other side in very big letters. Also I am writing on the bottom of the front page that the authorities have been notified.
E. E.
Everyone needs to contact the United States Postal Inspection Service in Miami, Fl. Since the Postal service is being use for the scan, the inspection will go after them. you can a complaint on line.

I received the Express Notice, payment of $2, 536, 092.23 pending upon my payment of $20 for a transfer fee. Thanks to the news media, I know that any source that asks for money upfront is a fraud. I will be turning this correspondence over to our local Sheriff's Department. Reading the comments on this website was verification to my initial thoughts of fraud.
It is the first time that I riceive this letter for this company : PRIZE RESEARCH INTELIGENCY AGENCY, but other companies as : Global Reporting Network, Physicians Life Insurance Campany, and other more; they
take my money and I never receive any answer about are the form the person win the money. I send some
letter that i don't want to they continue to return more letter but they did'nt understand, for week they send
me 3 or 5 letter, I lost some money with them and now come a new company with the same history:
Dear Rafael Galan: Please be advised that the prize total $ 2, 536, 092.23 has been identified as now due for payment, Rafael Galan. These funds are offered by third party sponsors not affiliated with the Prize Research
Intelligence Agency, an indcependent notification service. i am sorry, very bad criminal persons.
Salute,
Rafael
if you all get these letters from them start sending a phoney photo copied 20 dollar bill from your copy machine and when they start getting enough of these maybe they will realize we know that it is a scam thats is what i did now i am just waiting on a nasty letter from them cause i sent a phoney bill to them i will wait and see what happens every time i get one of these letters im gonna send them a phoney 2o dollar bill see how they like being scammed
i too have received this letter how is scaming legal especially the wording on these letters cuz most are lies! some word it diff so they ant get into trouble but these letters are straight lies ppl will do anything to earn a lil extra cash
If I were you, I would have the authorities stake-out the Post Office Box and have whomever shows up to pick up the mail arrested. That would be the most likely way to stop them and they would be the ones able to prosecute them. If you contact the local Authorities, they might be able to build a case against them, as I'm sure you're not the only one sending them money. This crime is also interstate, so the Federal Authorities might be the ones with the most prosecutorial power to arrest and stop these criminals. I can't imagine that these agencies wouldn't be interested, and you might also contact the Department Of Justice, as they might have jurisdiction as well. Stopping them will involve defining which agency has the best chance, and the harshest penalties, and the best way to get everyone's money back. This might be through frozen & seized assets, accounts, real estate, automobiles, etc. through some kind of Class-Action or Victim Reimbursement legal mechanism associated with the case, and would also involve turning the person, or persons, arrested at the Post Office Box arrest, against the group, to stop all of them and seized everything. There might even be International Elements to this Crime & Organization, so I would rely on the Authorities to Prosecute them. Being that the Postal Service was used for the Frauds, the Federal Authorities might be your best bet. Good luck in getting your money back! I really appreciate you posting this complaint, it's saved me $20 twenty dollars, and as I'm recovering from my fourth spinal fusion, after a bad car accident, I really can't afford even $20 twenty dollars, so I can't thank you enough for your story. -Volumetry@aol.com
Hi,
I just received the same thing in the mail!. I did think it was sounding like a scam, because usually anyone asking you for money is not real, so I googled the information and I got all this information? I wasn't going to send the money because desperate times make desparate people and i'm not that gullable. I'm so sorry this happened to you and hope you can get your money back, though I don't know how? These people work fast and move around and use different addresses, etc. Hope you don't make the mistake again.

Prize won - fake check scam
My husband too, received one of these 'prizes' of $2, 536, 092.23 but they wanted $20.00 to send it to him! Very official looking 'notice' but obviously just another person (or goup of people) too lazy to work for a living and tries to prey on unsuspecting people who could use the prize money, not to mention the $20 PRIA asks them to send in to get the prize! What's the world coming to when the only good news you get in the mail is sales papers?
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Well, sadly today I also got one of these unbelievably legal looking fake ### prize notifications from your one & only Prize Research Intelligence Agency stating that I have a pending cash disbursal awaiting claim & payment for $2, 342, 000.00. I have become dependent on websites like this one to determine whether or not any notification I get through the mail is ligit or if its a scam. So far every notification I have EVER gotten through the mail has been a 100% scam. If it wasn't for you people who actually take the time out to forewarn unsuspecting hardworking individuals such as myself then we may all be victims of this lowlife way to crook people out of their $. ♥✿ƹ̵̡ӝ̵̨̄ʒ✿♥~A HUGE Thank You! To All The Posters Of Scams Like THIS ONE!~♥✿ƹ̵̡ӝ̵̨̄ʒ✿♥
I don"t mind if there helpful and in cases like these they are very helpful you don:t know if you don"t ask and with so many people trying to take advantage of hard working people iam glad others have posted there complaints...thanx again you saved me from doing something foolish as if I can afford to just give money away. NOTE
I recieved one of these official envelopes and because I had sign up for a sweep stakes I thought maybe but decided to google this company first because there wasn"t an email address or phone number glad I did thanx for the heads up.
Thank God for the internet and google, now we can research fraudulant companies and scams such as this Pria Prize Reasearch Intelligency Agency. Thank you all who took the time and write your comments so that the rest of us would
not waste our hard earned $20.00
I received one of these (trying to look official) checks in the amount of $2, 342, 000.00, they actually think I would send $20.00 to claim the prize (a joke). My husband's attitude towards this type of scam is, deduct the $20 from the prize and send the difference. Also got a phone message from Joe asking that I call so that he could get more info. (pleeeaasse). I work for Chase bank 35 years and I can not tell you how many people fall for this crap! they are bilked out of lots..
I got a letter stateing i won 2, 536, 092.23 and I had to send 20.00 dollars for transfer fee, It did'nt make sents to send money to a agency that I never response to, It need to be stoped now, I worked to hard to have people like this to take my money, It's hard out here all ready for people like me, and I live alone, no kids, and I prayed that I would win some prize but not company's like this, I would be a fool, so please! take notice that it need to be stopped now! I hope thay don't have SScard, don't know how in the world thay got my address, but as of right now, I'm stopping this scam I know people that are cops, and I have family members that work undercover DEA.
I just got mine in the mail today, thanks guys for the info!
I also receive this notice and they wanted 20.00 of my money so i googled there name came up as a scam thanks to other people reporting them as scammers i would no send back the paper work they requsted thank you, Debra McBride
I received a yellow envelope with the words (Rapid Notice). Now I Know I didn't sign up 4 a sweepstakes or anything. Also no number R website was on the paper. So I passed. But the most important thing is (HOW DID THEY GET MY ADDRESS AND NAME?)
I recieved a letter in the mail as well... it look very ligit... my husband kinda gave me a hard time about nt mailing the form back... as I read the contents I noticed that there was no phone number or web address on it at all so i decided to reasearch it to prove my point... " something seemed fishy" I was right and am glad that everyone warned me before i sent them 20 bucks as well.
A payout of $2,536,092.23
I had recivced a letter telling that I won a cash prize of $2, 536, 092.23, I must send a payment of $20.00 first. But it was a good thing that I went on the internet and look to see if this was real or just another scam. Then I found out that this was really a scam. Like they if it's to good to be true, it's really not true at all.Is there anyway we can these scaming to stop.

Too Bad we can't purchase some scam type $20.00 Checks and give them a taste of their own medicine Neil Arizona
i got the same letter today saying i won $2, 536, 092.23 and was asked to send $20 cash check or money order. Asking to send cash was like waving a red flag. When something seems too good too be true it usually is. Never send cash in the mail and always check out these kinds of letters. I went on-line to look them up. Glad i did. fran68
i too just recieved the same letter, cash award of $2, 536, 092.23 it just didn't seem right to me. i'm glad i went on the internet for the information i was looking for i knew it was a scam. there is no # u can call or nothing, yeah these people need to be stopped as soon as possible.
I absolutely agree with this complaint because I received in the mail an express notice about a cash award of over $2, 536, 092.23 with an account no. They want $20.00 to process this through electronic mail into my account. I just got online to check it this is a scam or not and I was about to send them a check in the amt. of $20.00. Sure enough this is a definite scam and I am glad I found this information about this, I just saved $20.00, thanks for the information. Helpful advice for people who are falling for these and end up losing money. Again I want to thank you for the complaint made by other people, just add this one to the list. Thanks!
I just received the same notice today as everyone above and for the same amount of $2, 536, 092.23. I have recently been online checking into tarot readings and have been receiving e-mails back stating that I am going to receive a large sum of money in the near future (whether from an inheritance or lottery winnings or whatever) so now, after receiving this prize notification in the mail, I'm wondering if all these people are connected. Please, if you have to send money to get the money somebody says you've won, you didn't win. For people like me, and I'm sure alot of you out there, who hope for good things to happen and then something like this crap does, it's a real bummer and a reality check. There are people out there who are willing to take advantage of good people like me (and you). I'm going to take the higher road and thank them for a valuable lesson learned. Find out who people are, learn about them and make an informed decision. Kim
I just want to know how to stop this from happen to any one eles, and me too, so is their a way to stop having this mail keep comming to my house, saying I win millions, so when the real people send me a letter with money on it, saying you have win millions? please help, so we can fight this, or we can take these people to court, so I can get all the money back that I pay out, for these scams?
I agree, same letter in Michigan today 10/02/2010 Acc. [protected] So I am returning the postage paid envelope w/IOU in it. Makes me feel better to know I caught it before . People look for easy money or ways to make money by scamming people. If you have $1 or $1, 000, 000 people are trying to get it. GOOD THINGS DO HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE... but check the internet first. Amber... Michigan
on this day 6/15/10 i've just check my mail. look what i have. one of those fake a** letters saying that i've won 2, 536.092.23.we should be able to purnish those that send this out.look out for the letters saying, EXPRESS NOTICE.i use to send cash in but not anymore.get a job you lazy a** people.
I live in Puerto Rico and I too got a letter saying that i won 2, 536, 092.23 dollars, i almost fell for it, but i started talking to my wife and she told look at it in the internet, so i did to my surprise that i was not the only one been scam .My advice to the goverment find this people, prosecute them and throw the key away, that's what they deserve.Thanks
I have just received an express notice from PRIA stating that I am the winner of $2, 536, 092.23. That I should send $20 in cash, check or money order payable to PRIA. This prize notification appeared too good to be true, so after investigation, I have concluded that this is a scam. These scam artists must be prosecuted and send to jail, in my opinion.
claiming we won over 2,000,000, but we need to send 20.00 to them first
claiming we won over $2, 000, 000.00, just need to submit $20.00 to them before 01/01/09. We really don't appreciate this type of spam. You get your hopes up and hope this is for real until you see the complaints on the internet.green family [protected]
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
yep, I got it too, an express notice...saying 2, 536, 092.23 was ode to me, it says it was given by third partys, and this is true, cuz someone (i havent seen it yet)who won the BIG lottery said he wanted to give me a portion, so thats what I thought this was...so I paid the 25 bucks...havent seen any money...thanks...alot...
Would like reply on how these complaints are handled or if information is acted upon?
Why had steps not been taken to stop these type of scams or enticing offers? Is thee any such agency that is actually on the up & up. Anyone would know you don't pay someone to give you money. Many persons of all ages would appreciate steps taken to indite these companies. D.T.G.
i been getting letters 2or 3 every day if i didnt look online i dont know what i would do its a scam a big scam if you win why do you have 2 pay it says you won 2, 536, 092.23 send 20.00 dollers and we will send you a check by bond federal carrier if you win that big why not be in person :)
I absolutely agree! Why hasn't this scam been stopped through the postal service and FBI?
I've seen complaints of this same nature, same company, with the same PO box. It has to be linked to
a name (the PO) and they need to nab these s*o*b's! It's a ring and needs to be under investigation,
hauled into court & when they catch these con artist they should be ordered to pay the $20.00 fee back
and possibly $$ damages stemming from emotions oh, then the jerks need to be tossed behind bars for
a bit!

Express Notice
The above company is requesting that I pay them $20.00 so they can rush my cash prize of $2, 536, 093.23. If I am to receive that amount, why can't they just take it out of the two million dollar prize? I think I'll send this to our Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. I'm sure he would be also be interested in this scam.
I GOT THE SAME LETTER BUT I WILL NOT SEND NO MONEY I HOPE WE ALL CAN GET TOGETHER AND PUSH THIS MATTER BECAUSE IT IS SO WRONG AS BAD AS WE ARE IN BAD TIME OF MONEY
i got the same letter i won 2, 536.092.23 ### soon as i signed the express notice tracking form will processed cash accounting rush to you by bonded federal carrier did not as for any money yet ok now i am waiting for a respond
ok its August 2 2011 today and i got the letter on the 1rst and now im lookin on the net and see the last post is from 2009.well im not sending no money but y are thay still there? thay have been there 4 years now
I have just moved to this new address, and got one of those letters, asking for 20.00 to receive $2, 536, 092.23. So i looked it up first, on a laptop. Glad i did, you wonder where these people get your address from. It should be something that the law can do about this...
i am going to put a BLOODY PAD and send it to them maybe they will stop!
even that i was never asked to send 20$ im starting to think that maybe my 2.4M just might not be comming to me. how ever I did enter a sweepstakes a while back. as well your paying the 20$ for the news letter they will send you just to let you know. it does talk about it on the back of the express letter. like i say i wasnt asked for any money, wich wouldnt do any good at all for i have no money to give. i work 30hrs a week and support a my wife and my baby alone, 12$ an hr does not go far. as well i work even thru the fact my back is messed up and compensation droped me due to the fact i didnt sign a single paper that i didnt even know about wich is another scam. i will give this advice, if you get hurt bad you better understand that if you do not fill out this paper that compensation sends you, they will drop you. because now i will have to work or try to work for the rest of my life with a messed up back. i only hope no one else has to wake up and realize they cant sit up to put there cloths on or loose balence due to taking the wrong step. i hope every one here has a great day and a great life, thanks for the info. if any thing happens regaurding this feel free to email me a fast_cars19@hotmail.com
I agree this should be a class action lawsuite. When are we the common people going to stand up for the protection of our integrity. Our founding Fathers fought the fight in dilligence for an honest and true nation. Unfortunantley they have been decieved and shamed for the very people they fought for. Life is difficult enough without stresses like these.

With todays economy people want to believe their woes are all gone now.I to received the same letter of $2million. These people need to be strung up by their woohoos and then locked up and the key thrown away...what about the ones who are on a fixed income and $20 wont brake them but, oh what a life it would have given them to have won. Same goes for those on disability, retirement etc. WHY THE HELL ISN'T OUR GOVERMENT STOPPING THIS, THE F.B.I., THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (PICK A STATE) AND POSTMASTER GENERAL (WHO'S ALSO THE SECRET SERVICES) KNOW WHATS GOING ON...SO STOP IT! MAKE THEM PAY BACK THE AMOUNTS THEY HAVE STOLEN. OR, IS IT THAT OUR GOVERMENTS OFFICIALS FEEL THAT THEY AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE UNTOUCHABLE, SO IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER?

the same letter came to me today, my question is... they have to have a bank account for "pria" or "prize research intelligence ageny" so why is it so difficult to lock them up, with the mail fraud it makes it a felony to boot..?
i got the same letter to i knew it was a scam so i photo copied a twenty dollar and sent that to them those [censored]es will probably try to spend it everybody should send them a phony twenty and maybe they will get the hint that we know its a scam
Constantly receiving letters
To whom this may corcern, Thank you for your comments i was just about to send these people $20. 00 until i read your letter. I think god for good people like you. I agree 100% that the people behind this evil, lieing scam should be in jail for fraud. Also if i may add i'm starting my own business at home That will pervade a service to help people receive...

i put it in the mail box today im going to wait to see what they send me back in the mail.
mine doesn't say anything about paying $20.00 on it and i don't have to pay a postage why is mine different from everybody else.
mine says to sign and date it at the bottom
That is a great idea Tiffany H. Think I will do the same, maybe they can recycle the paper, LOL.
Just got one of those things in the mail. As if they couldn't take the processing fee out of the 2 mil, LOL. Guess I am supposed to be stupid like that, LOL.
Thank you all for saving me money loss. Am a single mother attending school at NIU and I needed help pointing out if this letter was a fraud. I research and found your comments thanks for speaking up. You all save me time and money and sorry for your loss, but ill send mine back with their letter to make them pay the postage stamp.
Sincerely,
Tiffany H.
