After researching online, I discovered others had received the same or similar- postcard in the mail offering a $50 Amazon gift card, Viking, Caribbean or Alaskan Cruise for 2 or a SONY TV if Lucky Numbers matched. The number to call was 1-855-484-1577. After seeing that one BBB complaint listed PTCL as a sponsor, I searched my card and found in micro-print ©PTCL2025. I looked up PTCL and discovered it was Pakistan's #1 telecommunications company. The postcard givaway claims that if your scratch-off numbers match, that you have won one of the prizes listed and should call the number given within 48 hours. The offer code on my card was JC0827, but others state theirs to be different numbers. One even had different phone numbers. I did not call because of what the other scam victims reported, but decided to also report as the others were from differents states and I want people from my state, Texas, to know our citizens are also being targeted. I also wanted everyone to know that it is not a legitmate offer from Amazon, Viking or any other legitimate cruise line mentioned on the card.
