Rappaport, Hiltner, & Crenshaw Promised $4,278,000.00 if I sent $20. I suggested they take the $20 from my prize money. Fresh Meadows, New York
This was clearly a raffle. Iwas invited to enter and was lured into sending them aseries of Payments, never rxceeding #20.00. Eventually I received notice that I had won $4,278,278,000, which I wold receive if I sent thm anadditional $20.00 for administrative costs. That seemed absurd to me and I suggested that they take the $20 out of the award.
I also received two other promises, for a total of $11,674,263.00, with a $20.00 "adminisstrative" charge each time. If they had never told me I won anything, I would have forgotten the whole incident, figuring the chances of ever winning a raffle were pretty slim. But when I was promidsrd real money, in what for me are huge amounts, with no intent on their part to follow through, I got angry, and felt insulted. Admittedly my loss was small change.
