Description

Received a letter 7-30-25 with a return address and routing location : N.W.T.S,, PO Box 1856, New York, NY 15387. It was a congratulatory notification supposedly from Publishers Clearing House stating that I won $750,000.00 and to contact their branch office (1-514-726-0245) to speak to my "claims agent" Chris Goodman." Also, a sponsorship check for $8,800.57 was enclosed to assist with "out of pocket expenses" with a business name of "Manhattan Life Insurance and Annuity" (this is exactly how it was spelled) and drawn out of a Bank of New York Mellon in Houston TX with a "void after 90 days" warning and a signature that can't be deciphered. The letter goes on advising to not take further action until contacting claims agent and to keep this award letter strictly confidential until prize winnings have been processed and remitted to my account. It is signed by a Deborah Holland and from the desk of the Vice President Mike Lewerson. There is too some nonsense about a Claim Number: DDC-399 along with a Type of Entry: Credit Card Promo/Subscription and REF NO: FCE/RE/89700/ILC. I began a fraud search and found this same info online on your site!
