Scam Description
Postal Mailing (post card size) Said to call the phone number on the card 1-888-269-0814 to claim a $100 voucher to be used at Walmart, Target, and other stores. There was a claim # on the card and it said Final Notice and that failure to call will result in forfeiture of the reward. There is no return address or company name on the card. It was sent to my mother who believed it was real and asked me to call about it. When I called the representative said all I had to do was pay the $2.00 processing fee and that the card would be sent to my moms address. She asked me to speak on an automated line that was being recorded where I was to give my information such as name, address, and credit/debit card info. I quickly disconnected the call and contacted the BBB.
