Hey, I just won $15000.00... NOT

So we get this spam letter saying congratulations, you've won $15k
It has a US address and they just need us to pay a small amount of "postage" so they can send us our prize.

Anybody here from Kansas city able to check it out?

1401 Armour Rd
North Kansas City
MO 64116 USA

The only name given is "Sieges Sociaux De Prix", which looks remarkably like French.

Re: Hey, I just won $15000.00... NOT

I did a google and they've been doing this for a couple of years at least, here is a link to a site that complains about them as far back as 2005.

I'm pretty sure its these guys:
Opportunities Unlimited Pblctn
(816) 842-5510 1401 Armour Rd
Kansas City, MO

Probably just the "mailing service".

Here's a judgment against them, going back to 2002.
These guys are pro's.

Those guys are scam artists, as once they get your credit card or debit card number, say bye bye to your money.

I dont understand how they can get away with this misleading scam and get away with it year after year!

Everyone just turns a blind eye, huh?
