I recieved a letter onAugust 7, 2009 stating that they gather names from sweepstakes and i had won 150,00i contcted0 in US monies and that I need to call David Morgan or Helen Anderson. When I called I spoke with David he stated that He got my info fron Wal-mart Sweepstakes and that my numbers were picked from a drwing in Austrailia He stated I would recieve a letter inthe mail stating what my fees were to call hi as soon as the letter came at htat time he wouldcut a check for the fees and he would then cut me the remainder of the monies.
I have not recieved any letter as of yet. But this letter came at a time my family and I could have use that kind of money. I thought yprayers had brrn answered!

Exercise a little common sense... How did your name get picked from a Wal-Mart in Aus?? Did you go to an Aussie Wal-Mart recently?
Since when does Wal-Mart even have "sweepstakes" in the first place? Never heard of them engaging in the practice.
No legitimate sweepstakes or lottery will charge you "fees" or "taxes" to collect a prize. It's illegal.
These hucksters send this crap out by bulk mail in the thousands. You'll never see the bulk of the monies promised. However, these scam artists, even if they rope in, perhaps 500 suckers, charging them a "fee" of say maybe $25 each... That's $12,500 in their pockets and none in yours.
Turn any and all info you got from these pieces of human garbage in to the relevant authorities.
