Rec'd letter stating I was a guaranteed award winner of $3, 900, 000 and all I had to do was send them $20.00 for processing fees. I sent them a letter stating the letter would serve as my permission for them to take the $20 out of my prize winnings. Have not rec'd a response other then another letter stating I was prize winner. You should really follow-up on this complaint. Many seniors are receiving this letter. Thank you. Teresa Walsh
I just received the exact same letter today.They are praying on people who probably could use the winnings they describe. Something should be done about this, and I know it shouls be illegal. We should all get together and file a Class action lawsuit against them.
I just received the same letter today. I was about to do what it asked but I went to look it up. Glad I did look up the information on it. There should be something done about it. I'm not a senior citizen but its still not fair. We should get together and file a lawsuit against them.
Scam dont do it, i just got one . How can win money from somewhere that dont have a phone nor email everybody has a email
This company is a fake want you to send them 20.00 cause you won 3, 900.00 not true they get your money you get nothing
I just received the same notification that i won money also you should know that anything that requires you to send money is a scam, I am NOT a senior citizen either but whenever I do get letters where I want large sums of money I always look them up so I can post my own comments...
I also receive the same letter awarding me with big lmp sum of money.but in order to get the award money needed to send $20.00 to receive it any any award winning prize does not require to send money to receive your cash prize only fraud people do that.
Received same letter. Just call me insane, but not again
Has anybody won anything? ? Why would postal inspectors allow Po box if fraud?
Received the same letter saying I won money- a lot, but needed to send $20. Has the Better business Bureau or the Attorney general looked in to this Company? I would really like an answer from these people - the Att. .General and BBB. Thanks

I also have received these letters, but I was sending money. at least 10 times because every time I got another one it was different and a different process that I was supposed to be going through. im finally looking them up to hopefully find a number, I'm glad I saw the comments. something should be done. they obviously make more money then me!
I received this letter 2 weeks ago I just wanted to see what happened if you did send 20.00. I did and I just got another letter same one. I agree we should file a law suit against the company I send a money order not cash or check. I am willing to sign if we can get a suit going.
Put in a text how and where we need to get started.
I too received the same congratulatory letter for winning of $3, 900, 00.00 - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is! I agree with didi68 - we should file a lawsuit against these folks.
Hello I'm glad I read all the comments also, we should get together and sue them it's enough of us to do it. Thanks for the internet cause most of us would have got scammed by them and it will keep them for scamming other people.
I received a letter today, 12/14/15 stating I'm a winning of the amount of 3, 900, 000.00, so I asked my son, he Google it and found all the complaints on this company. So thanks for showing me about this scam and to think of the length people would go just to prey on other to get noticed. I'm going post the letter on Facebook to warn all my famos & friends near & far, maybe the higher authority will catch these crooks. Sandra...
I just received the same letter and now that i am trying to find a phone number i cant find one. What is this world coming to. One lady called me for about a month trying to get money and i asked her why do they scam people and she said because they love money. If you cant find a phone number then its not real. every big business has a phone number.
I also received the same letter says I win 3.9 million just send 20 bucks to receive your money. Had to look it up. No telephone number no email. I used to live in new York so I asked a friend in the big apple he says its not even a real address he said railroad ave starts there addresses in the thousands. How they keep scamming people is illegal but if you try to find them you won't be able to. Probably someone living in his mom's garage scamming people.
I just received the same letter yesterday, December 14, 2015 stating I had won 3.9 million and to send $20 for a processing fee. There should be some way to stop these people. I might be a Senior Citizen but I'm not crazy enough to send money to get money. I agree, let's file a law suite.
OK so how do we go about reporting these stiffs. Are they a part of publishers clearinghouse?
I too received the same letter "Guaranteed Award Winner" of 3, 900, 00.00, looking so real and me wanting so badly to finally be a BIG winner. I almost made a decision to send the $20. Thinking, YES, maybe this time it's real, until I searched this site for information, thanks for posting. I am so willing to become part of resolving this problem... This is NOT right to prey on innocent people like this!
I also recived a letter from this company anderson, burgess smith, stating that I won $3.9 millon, and to send them $20.00 for processing fee, I was going to send it and my daughter told me not to, she looked up this so called company on google and found all ur comments. Thank God! I was taking my last to pay for a lie. I am a senior citzen. I would like it there was a class action law suite. But where do we begin. Would we get in touch with an attorney? I recived this letter of so called wining 3.9 millon, on 12/14/15.

I just received a letter, and was tempted to send the 20 bucks. I'm glad I Google the company, because they would've gotten me. Thanks for the imany comments to expose these scam artists

My mother recieve this letter december 19 and her deadline was the 24th . I had to talk my mother out of sending the money, this is a complete scam . She would have lost more than 20 dollars trying to priority mail it by this fake ### unreasonable deadline . My mother is no senior citizen but I would love for her to receive Such A blessing ... I Hope No One Fall Victim To This Non Sense, My Advice Is To Google EVERYTHING . Especially When It's Too Good To Be True

YES, this is too good to be true and it looks and smells funky... DONT DO THIS..SCAMMERS WILL NEVER WIN...
Received the same letter saying I won $1, 500.000.00. This time they're asking for a check for $25.00. I went on line and found out how many people got this type of letter. Yes - the letter has no phone number - only an address.

My mother has received similar correspondence as identified above. Can the state of New York bring charges against these people.
My best friend that I roommate with has received numerous scam letters such as this one that she also received. All of these groups have boxes at UPS stores. The FBI could easily at least check these out to see what could be done. I have looked at the street views of the addresses of all the scam letters my friend has received, and these addresses show UPS Stores, and this particular group has its box at a UPS store that has the top painted red with UPS STORE written on it. I feel sorry for people that have to lower themselves to this level of duping everyone. At the same time, I would like to knock their heads off.
My name is Nancy Conroy. I received a letter saying that I had won$3, 900, 000.00 from Anderson, Burges & Smith saying that I had to send them $20 to progress. I told them I didn't have the money as my son took care of me, I am 86 years old. They said they would call my bank. I said I would check with my bank. They said to make the fee of $20 to ABS in Fresh Meadows, New York at [protected] Union Pike, Fresh Meadows, NY 11356.
My bank is Webster, here in Glastonbury. I usually take all those scams mails to my bank. I have had 17 letters with scam checks, etc. that I gave to my friend at the bank. I would not give my checking account number, my Social Security, etc.
Just received the same letter! Let's put a stop to this.

On Friday Feb. 5 2016 I received a letter in the mail stating I won $3.9 million and that all I have to do is send 20 dollars. If I won that much just send me a check otherwise don't bother me
I totally agree that we should file a class action lawsuit. I am willing to start a class action lawsuit. I have been receiving these letters for years.
