888-841-8465

I got a postcard from a F.R.C. of 1381 S Missouri Ave, Clearwater, FL 33756-6500 asking me to call this number with a 'control number' they could identify me by. It was 'signed' by a Michelle Barbaa and I was asked to call 10-8.30 EST, Monday to Friday. Anyway, they said that the 'good news' they were trying to get hold of me about was that I was going to be entered in to a draw with a prize, and they wanted to know what prize I was going to get. At that point I ended the call.

SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!!!! they ask for your credit card number and if you are stupid enough to give it to them like my sister did they drain your account/max the card!!!

they have a couple different numbers they call from... all with the same "sweepstakes" and "free watch!"

DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO TO THEM!!!

I got the same card in the mail today. F.R.C. 1381 S MISSOURI AVE CLEARWATER, FL 33756-6500


DEAR _____ WE ARE TRYING TO REACH YOU WITH GOOD NEWS! IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CALL US, CALL TOLL FREE 188-841-8465 CONTROL#__________ THANKS MICHELLE BARBAA CALL 10 AM TO 8:30 PM EST MONDAY THRU FRIDAY

If you are stupid enough to call this phone number, at least try to listen to see if there's a lot of background noise. Most legit businesses don't have noise in the background. Also DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. No matter WHAT they are trying to say that you have won "Randomly" (i.e. Watch, Vacation, Magazine Subscription, etc.).

P.S. if you ever give your credit card informaion. Make sure that you're using it in a store, it's the safest place. Personally I like cash. That way if I do lose it, I know that it was ME who spent it, not some SCAM creeps.

wow, good thing decided to google this number...
the post card does look questionable...
and I dont know anyone by the name Michelle Barbaa.
CORNY!!
dont call :)

Sheesh... wish my mailbox had a spam filter, too.
Glad I researched this thing a bit.

I got the same freaking card...but i looked up the address on google and the first site that came up was rip-off reports with everyone saying it was a scam. so naturally i called and told them what i think of all these scams and how much i hate them...and the girl i spoke to hung up on me([***] d-bag)

I recieved the same yellow card on hand written and from Danielle Craft


I didnt bother to call

I got the exact same card, and after searching the web have decided it is a scam.

what happen did you sue? Why is this still going on? Obvi I got this card too I looked up the address and it is an address looks like a commercial building?

I got this same yellow card in the mail today from a Daneille Craft. They had to get my address from the credit card company because as of right now they are the only ones to have this address! I am so sick of these scams....

Wow! Thank goodness I went online before I called the number on the yellow postcard. You were right, I did hear a lot of background noise. When I asked the woman why the internet refers to their business as a scam, I was transfered to a "manager". He told me they were a serious magazine company and have been around for years. I guess their longevity was suppose to convince me there was no scam, but I didn't fall for it. Something is definately not right with what they are doing.

I got the same yellow card in the mail after recently moving into my new home. Thank you very much for posting all of this information about the scam so that I did not call. Sucks how we may be the only good people left in this world making an HONEST living.

Yup i received the same thing, and what makes me curios is how the heck they got our information?

Recibí la misma tarjeta amarilla con iguales caraterísticas a las que se describen arriba y donde habla de buenas noticias (Good News!) y esta firmada por Michelle Barbaa, solo por curiosidad marque el número pero cada vez que lo hago la línea esta ocupada, gracias a todos por sus testimonios (Thanks guys), especialmente para evitar este tipo de estafas, es increible que ahora lo hagan tan obio. Escribo este texto en español para todos aquellos que buscan este tipo de resultados y no se encuentre disponible en este idioma.

Ya know I cant remember the last time I got "Good News" via snail mail, so I was curious who could possibly wanna get ahold of me with "good news". Before calling I grabbed my laptop and googled! It turns out after reading your blogs that my intuition was dead on! I didn't and dont plan on calling this number becuase I would honestly rather watch paint dry than talk to a bonafide criminal. Thanks again to all of you for sharing your scam stories and helping those that cant help them selves.

I just received my yellow card in the mail from and decided to do a little research with the help of google. I sure am glad that I found this blog because it confirmed my belief. Total rip off. Glad I didn't waist my time by calling.

Thanks for all of your help!

I received the yellow called, saying good news and to call Michelle barbaa. Good my husband checked the internet for me, i dont have to waste my precious time.

I got this same card- has anyone reported this company to the authorities? I did not call, and would never give out credit card information over the phone like that, but someone needs to do something about these pathetic thieves. Whoever has had their money stolen from them by this company- please report it!! If you do not, nothing will stop them from ripping others off and stealing more money from good, hard-working people. Please report! (FBI, Local PD, Crime Stoppers... etc.)
