International Award Advisors - June Aguiar Said I won $2,500,000.00. But must send $20.00 to proscess it. Huntington Station New York
Was sent a letter stating that I won $2,500,000.00, but that I must send them $20.00 right away for processing fees. If I had won that much money, why would I have to send any money to them? When you live on minimun wage,that is not the right thing to do to low income people. Get them all excited thingking they won, when it is nothing but a scam.

New Twist on OLD SCAM

Instead of sending you a bogus check just to have you wire most of it back - only to have the check bounce and you have to pay the money back to the bank(which legitimate lotteries and sweepstakes DON'T DO)
They are now just asking for the $20 fee - again - legitimate lotteries and sweepstakes DO NOT HAVE YOU SEND MONEY - they take it first before you see any winnings at all.
