Complaint Review: N M E

After reading several reports about this company on this site, I decided to add this just in case what I received is something different, also because it means this company is still going strong.

Today I received a sort of official looking "PostGram" which states "Official Business" on the front along with the phone number. On the back the message is "WE ARE TRYING TO REACH YOU REGARDING YOUR $2,100,000 SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY. PLEASE CALL US AT THE NUMBER ON THE REVERSE OF THIS CARD. THIS IS A FREE CALL.

SINCERELY - PAT HAINES
SALES REPRESENTATIVE"

In the small print it says "There is no purchase required to enter or win and a purchase will not improvee your chances of winning. Prize will be awarded as 30 annual installments of $70,000.00"

It even has a Tracking Number with barcode, and a little section where I can record the date and time that I called about my prize, and it instructs me to retain this info for my records.

Now, I enter some sweeps in my spare time, from recognized companies and brands and have won a few prizes, but this type of solicitation annoys me to no end, and it bothers me that a lot of seniors are getting ripped off by mail like this.
