Publishers Clearing House, Mrs Donna Lawson, Mr Harvey Armstrong Fraud, Mail Fraud -(c)- Canada
My 80 year mother received in the mail a letter from PCH, stating she was a 3rd place winner and was awarded 1 million dollars. Enclosed in this envelop was a very authentic looking check from Quiznos Subs in the amount of $5,889.00 which is suppose to be used for fees. Thank God, my mom is a realist and brought the information to me and my husband to review before taking any action. Upon review we found the following discrepancies that sent red flags up: 1. There was a stamp on the envelop instead of a post mark. 2. No return address. 3. In the letter it stated the Quiznos check was "certified". It was not certified. 4. Letter states, the grand prize drawing is sponsed by Martha stewert living, but the check is from Quiznos. 5. Quiznos is not mentioned anywhere in the letter. (by appearance on the check it can lead someone to believe that Quiznos is a sponsor). To verify the letter and check, I tried for 3 days to contact Mrs Donna Lawson and was unsuccessful, her/his voicemail was always on and the IRS agent Mr Harvey Armstrong's voice mail was full. After three days and received a no response and researching via the internet. I concluded that someone attempted to scam my mother. Therefore, I went a step further and wanted to find this person. So far I have found that Mrs Lawson's office is a virtual office that has full service; it gives instructions how to set up calls, take messages, recieve faxes, and how to retrieve all these services. (I need to further research how this office was set up - I reached a road block as to the name of the virtual business organization), I will then hire an attorney to review all the data and determine if I can file a suit. These people target unsuspecting people, thinking that nothing can happen to them. Well they are wrong. I want justice.

These scammers are in a foreign country, out of reach of US law enforcement, and there is no way you can sue anyone. There is no company, no office, nothing. They are here today and gone tomorrow. They use "throw away phones" that can't be traced, and, of course, those are NOT their real names. If you really want more info, try reading the hundreds of reports of this scam on this site. Just be thankful that the bogus check was not cashed.
