Just this week, a relative received a fraudulent letter from David Brickwell claiming that she had won $2.5 million (plus a Mercedes).  However, to receive her prize, she needs to pay $550 (or "1% of Federal taxes") with a green dot card.  The letter was sent by howardfoster8@gmail.com and the phone number to accept the prize was 1-702-981-6120 (which has been reported on your site as fraudulent).  The address on the letter is 3358 Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV and appears to be a fictitious address.  The letter tells her that she won "Two million five hundred thousand Dollars ($3.5M)" -- which just shows the careless of the author of the letter.  I have always known that the numeric for two million five hundred is $2.5 million.   The creator of this letter used a clip art Publisher's Clearing House logo and a clip art copy of a Bank of America check signed by Ms. Ward.  Bank of America advises that the check is fake and Publisher's Clearinghouse fraud division reiterated that their company never asks for money when accepting a sweepstakes prize.  The Publisher's Clearinghouse instructions are to hang up on the caller.  Mr. Anderson from the delivery company is bringing her the money.  They have also called using the 1-702-451-0696 phone number. My only hope is that this posting will help others who receive a similar form letter.

The full name of the company sending her the letter is "the International Gaming Commission organized by The Consortium of Manufacturers and Mega Bucks, Mega Millions Sweepstakes and Lotteries Commission".

I can't figure out how to edit my posting at 1am in the morning....two million five hundred thousand is $2.5 million.  Watch out for phone numbers: 1-702-981-6120, 702-560-1451, and 1-702-451-0696.  Thanks!

Mu call came from a John Global.  His telephone number is 876-894-7010.  
the company name is the same.  International Gaming Commission by the Consortium of Manufacturers.  He keeps calling back.

I also, have been bombarded with phonecalls from a Mr. David trying desperately to convince me that I have won the same lottery as above writers have mentioned. He wants me to go to Western Union and get a 500.00 money order made out to Garen Downie or Ruby Bennett, to cover the taxes. He explains that it is the receipt numbers that they need at the border to bring the money across and deliver it to my house. On arrival. I am to receive the 500.00 dollars back with the lottery winning cheque of 2.5 million. He actually forgot to tell me about also winning the car until about the 30th phone call.
He says to keep it secret and that there is no information known at Publishers Clearing house about this win because the Consortium took over the numbers, or some ridiculous thing like that.
I am pretty careful about fraudulent things like this, but I must admit he is pretty convincing and I guess we all hope that just MAYBE this could be true. Don't get fooled by it.
This is actually the third such letter that I have received in the last 3 weeks.....imagine the same person winning 3 different mega million lotteries in 3 weeks. The other companies were called "The International Lottery, which I traced back to an apartment building in London, Ont., and the other was a letter originated from Portugal.
