Description

I received a postcard in the mail. Saying that I won $250 reward and then it is being held at the main distribution center. And gave me a number to call 1-800-894-3790. When I called to claim my reward I had to give them a claim number which was 9878-5222 and the woman told me that I have to pay $0.99 to get my $250 reward. It states that I can use this reward at Amazon Walmart Costco and home Depot. I got this in the mail there is no website or company listed on this postcard but it does have BBA plus rating. The only thing that was listed was their phone number they are open 7 days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET. I had to put my state and zip code because it wouldn't accept it being blank. I am not sure of the state or the city because it doesn't say it on this postcard. Therefore I just put mine because it wouldn't let me go any further with it being blank.
