Complaint Review: De Monaco Heritage Fund

I recieved a letter in the mail about a week ago. It stated that I had been nominated as 1 out of 250 people for something called the De Monaco Heritage Fund.

The letter is very professional looking and I almost sent the $25 administrative fee in. I decided to search online for info on it and I'm glad I did.

It turned out to be a huge scam ongoing with different addresses ran by Jacqueline De Monaco, Founder and Addison DeWit, director of grants.

This is not real. Please don't send your money to these people. You won't hear back from them like the letter says and there is no grant that you'll receive.

It told me I was nominated by a private party three months ago. What caught my attention and made me check into it is that it had the wrong last name on it.

It was addressed to me in my maiden name, when I had got married a year ago. Anyone who would have nominated me would have my new last name.

There is also no contact info on these papers, except a return address. That should be a big clue. No phone #, don't send them anything
