Complaint Review: Award Notification Commission

I received a letter in the mail stating that I had won a lump sum of money, $1,230,946 or the option to receive a 30yr annuity payout equal to $2 million. The official form of tender #13570. Filling year 2015. It first caught my attention as an alert because I don't remember entering into anything. Second, it stated that there is an acquisition fee of a REQUIRED amount of $11.89 payable by cash, check, or money order. CASH!!!! Now...if this was real, why would I have to pay to receive MY money. Most importantly....why would you accept cash. That's a big red flag on the play if it wasn't one already. All I have to say is, do your research before agreeing to, or sending anything to anyone, no matter how much money they claim you've won nor how professional the letter looks. Scam artist get better every second of the day. Guard yourself and your money accordingly.
