866-873-1520

Received a call from NME Prize Disbursement.

The lady informed me that I MIGHT have won a Million Dollars.
She asked me what I would do with the money if I won, then she proceeded to list about 30 different magazines that I MIGHT be interested in subscribing to. The price for each magazine was a weekly fee, not a yearly fee, and it was a SCAM, pure and simple.

The magazines don't even cost that much if you buy them off the newsstands...

She told me that I was called regarding this due to my excellent credit standing and wanted to know if I wanted to use my Mastercard or Visa to purchase the magazines that she talked about. I informed her that I already have a subscription to some of them and that I'm really not interested in the others.

At this point she made a huffing sound and hung up on me.

Reporting the call to the FTC as well as to AT&T for harrassment.

Yeah I received a check that was not a check in the mail saying that I was eligible to win 2.1 million dollars in a sweepstakes from NME Prize Disbursement. I do not remember entering any contest so how did they get my address and name? Funny huh? I wonder if it is a hoax or if it is real?

Is This real or not.

I also received a check that is not a check from NME Prize Disbursement (Clearwater, Fl). The "check" instructs the recipient to call 1-866-873-1520 in order to complete the entry process. The Sweepstakes is for $2,100,000.00.

The back of the form states that the sweepstakes is in conjunction with promotions and solicitations affiliated with National Magazine Exchange.

I recieved the same letter and called to register. I was told that I was selected and won a man and woman's watch as well as to receive 3 different magazines for just $1 a week. I told him that I was not interested and he said that the watches came with the Mags... again I am not interested.  Well you are also eligible for a 5 star vacation to Las Vegas or Orlando are you interested and I said no but was transfered anyway.  I called back and no one answered so I tried again and finally a lady answered and I asked her to verify that I was not signed up for anything.  She verified it and let me go.   I have no idea if this is real but my guess would be NO.

All you have to do is call this number and let them know you want your name and address/phone info removed from any future sweetstakes and mailings from the company. 1-800-690-3623

My son received a check that is not a check in the mail this week, for 2.1M.  I did a search and came up with this blog.  Thanks for all the info, in particular the number to call and get his name and mine of the phone and mailing lists.  People just do not give up.  I guess the old say "a sucker born every minuet" keeps the scam artists hoping.  Anyway thanks once again for the info.

I also received a check that looks like a certificate stating I am eligible to win 2.1 million. I just need to call up 1-800-687-9411 and give my special code and I will receive 30 annual installments of $70k. Beware of this scam.

Big time scam. You call, they want you to signup for magazines. They are very pushy to get your credit card information.

I had the exact same thing happen.  I appreciate they person who gave the number to discontinue these things.  I figured it was a hoax.

they had some kind of programs that can find anyone's info. such as name and address something like that. It's a marketing program which you can buy too. just remember that guys: they are no free mealt in the u.s.

well I got a fake check in the mail also and they claim that if i call them with the entry code I will win I called them and had some fun with them kind of gave them taste of their own game claiming I wa calling from the attorney general office they freaked out any how seem like a marketing scam they just wanna

me to! i never remembered entering for any thing so i was confused. luckily i decided to check it out on the internet 1st and i found these messages.

i googled them to see if it was a scam, i see i was right "#1-800-687-9411".

i believe Clearwater Florida, to be the American version of Nigeria.

the say i am eligible, to win: "$2,100,000.00"

i think i got the same notice years ago. same scam over priced magazines.

i wonder if they are even in the USA. all they need is an 800#, a printer, and a mailing list and zero conscience, and you can do the same thing.
they don't stick to "no purchase necessary". their 1st lie. this goes right into the shredder.

i'm thinking class action suit... they just keep on doing this and the attorney general won't stop them.

i got a "fake" check in the mail today for 2.1 million dollars...and I figured it was a SCAM, but I called the number that was listed on the check just to see. The number given was 1-800-687-9411
A lady started rambling about signing up for magizines and wanted my credit card number to subscribe to some new ones.  I HUNG UP.
I then googled this number and address and came up to all of these postings about NME Prize Disbursement.
I AM VERY LUCKY I DIDN'T GIVE AWAY MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND FOUND OUT THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM.
THIS IS A SCAM-----PLEASE BE SMART!!

I got the "check" today in the mail and I have had about 50 voicemails for about 6 months from this company.  I just called the number on the check and talked to someone named Sherry and I told her I kept receiving information and I am really not interested.  She said "Well, I will put you on the 'do not call' list" and then she hung up on me!  I can't believe these people.

Thanks for the information on here!! :D
