[39354] Financial Acquisition Agency - Official Looking Mail Promising Prize Payment

I received an official looking letter in the mail which promised a prize award of $2,536,092.23. All that I was required to do was send them a $20.00 transfer fee in the form of cash, check or money order payable to "FAA." Obviously, this is a scam. There is no phone number to contact this business, no street address to investigate, and no legible name of any individual.

The text reads:

Dear XXXXXXXXXXXX,

Please be advised that the prize total of $2,536,092.23 has been identified as now due for payment, XXXXXXXXXXXX. These funds are offered by third party sponsors not affiliated with the Financial Acquisition Agency, and independent notification service.

You have been selected, XXXXXXXXXXXX, and Account No. 7465043340 has been established in your name, to facilitate transfer to you of complete accounting of prize funds now due. Please make reference to this account number in all correspondence with Financial Acquisition Agency.

On the Express Notice Tracking Form below, there are spaces for your initials verifying that you meet the following eligibility requirements. Please initial where indicated, sign and date at the bottom, and return the Tracking Form in the reply envelope provided.

It is important to note that your response must be postmarked by midnight, 08/03/12, and this deadline will be strictly enforced.

As soon as we receive your signed and completed Express Notice Tracking Form, your claim will be processed and your cash accounting rushed to you by bonded federal carrier.

We anxiously await your reply.

Sincerely,

(Illegible handwriting...Jack something?)
