they did not call me but they did send a postcard in the mail stating that they have been trying to contact me and i don't know if its a scam or what but i will not take my chances. but however i did give out some valuable information i know i was not smart for this but we all make mistakes so i just have to live with it. just don't give them any of your information. be smarter than i was

Please do not give out ur info to this company...thanks for the advice on here..unfortunately i did give my information hours b4 thinking twice & reading these comments. I just cancelled my card info b4 payment was even pending on my account.. This was because when i called the company back they said they could not take my info out of their system nor stop the charge..PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS I..THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN

i just receive this postcard and my boyfriend told me to reserch it because it was weird it didnt say nothing else but good news. so i lokked it up and saw all this comments. thanks!

I just got a yellow postcard in the mail, asking me to call this number to get some "good news".  The postcard was signed "Michelle Barbaa" and the address was:

F.R.C.
1381 S Missouri Ave.
Clearwater, FL 33756-6500

I decided to Google the number before calling back.  Thanks so much for your advice!  I won't be calling now!!

I also got a postcard and I noticed that they used my maiden name. I have changed all my information with everyone except the place I bought my car. They are the only ones that have my new address with my old name. I am wondering if anyone else who bought a car in the past 5 years has gotten one of these cars or if it is just a coincidence. I don't know if this is a scam but I wouldn't give out any personal information to anyone over the phone. I won't even give my social to the doctors office over the phone, unless I called them. The way I see it if they are sending out free items they can also pay the shipping and handling.

Same story, yellow card in the post-Good news, call Michelle Barbaa, glad I checked online. Thank you all!

Another one here, this time in El Paso, TX. My fiancee got it, and I went "heh, bet this is a scam." soon as I looked at the card. Knew to come here to find out. Thanks!

Same story...My husband got the yellow postcard in the mail. He called them to see what it was. The woman insisted he was already a customer. They offered lots of stuff including a $50 gas card but wouldn't say what it was for. She then transfered him to somebody else who offered him a $100 gas card. She then told him she needed his credit card number for a $1.99 fee to ship out all the stuff. He told her he doesn't give that out over the phone and she started screaming and swearing at him.

I plan on sending the card back to them. I wrote Return to Sender on the front, then on the back (where the letter is) I wrote "Not interested in a SCAM!" across the bottom and "SCAM!!" at the top.


Maybe every one who gets this should do it, and see how they like it.

Family Readers Club just happens to be in clearwater Fla. as well.

No call just the typical yellow post card.  I guess Ill burn it with the rest of the junk mail I get... how do they get my name?

you might be onto something we just got a car and got it registered and new insurance that might be how they get our information...

I'm sure it was a good watch.  I'm sure it was one you get out of the bottom of a cracker jack box.  Yeah I got a postcard from them too and I threw it in a big stinking pile of cr@p where it belongs.  It said "Good News!"  More like "Good News, there is an exciting offer, but you'll have to give us your Social, Credit Card, Driver's license number, birth certificate, last time you went to the bathroom, the number of cells that make up your body, etc."  Yeah F.R.C stands for F'in scam. I'm sure sure they're nice people.  Also sir, I must comment that your English is wonderful and the all caps thing really got my attention.  It's like reading an old time wire gram.

I was dumb enough to give out valuable info. i only gave my school card number but i quickly took all the money out.

I was dumb enough to give out valuable info. i only gave my school card number but i quickly took all the money out.

So has anybody actually got scammed because it sounds like everyone on here diverted a scam by removing money first?  I wanted to call just to see who was behind the great marketing scheme.  But anybody that is stupid enough to give out there info disserves exactly what they get.  Quit being so gullible you idiots!!!

So i just called them to see what it was all about.  and it's pretty funny it's really easy to piss them off.  they say they have been running sweepstakes for 18 years and when you ask where the results are published they can not answer and they say how credible they are and then you ask them about why they change there phone number so much again no answer.  they will offer you the world, but i think they just take yours. ask them enough questions they get pissed don't know what to say and then put you on hold so you can talk to a superviser, which never answers.
