Possible New Scam

pocimop

Hi...Newbie here with information about a letter I received today from a company called PIA (Prize Information Agency) 1357 Broadway Suite 145, New York 10018 USA.

The contents of the letter informed me that I had prize money unclaimed to the tune of £4 million quid. Not sure where they got my name, address and post code from as I'm more used to getting scams like this via e.mail. But for the more unsuspecting it might seem genuine. All they want is a £20 admin fee to release the money.

Ive checked the address online but havent found anything for that suite number so I'm guessing its fairly new.

Hope the post helps anyone else checking it out from getting ripped off.

Kind Regards

Anything that claims you have won a competition or have unclaimed funds straight in the shredder.

The OP knows it's a scam and is flagging it up for the rest of us. I'd say that merits a pat on the back rather than snarky comments.

Just ask them to take the £20 out of your winnings and send you the £3,999,980.
