Huntington Prize Report aka American Prize Reports

Has anybody ever heard of this people? Here is an email from someone who received mail from them:

Quote:
Now I'm getting letters reporting winning from an company named Huntington Prize Reports or H.P.R. with a return address of P.O. Box 90002, Levittown, NY 11756. The information operator had no phone number in that town or surrounding towns.
Of course they only want $19.99 in return for a $1.9 million award that I '' will definately (sp) receive".
Where should one report that company?

Re: "Huntington Prize Reports"

Huntington Prize Reports .. the exact same thing happened to my sister. They also took and additional 33 dollars out of her account without her knowledge. They got the bank routing number and her account number off of the first check for 2 dollars and 75 cents. Let me know if you hear anymore from them. Jennifer

Re: "Huntington Prize Reports"

I too received a "letter". I couldn't find any info on the internet except this forum. (Thanks Guys). As to what I have found out how to deal with this scam I went to the US Postal website and this is what the had :


U.S. Postal Inspectors investigate any crime in which the U.S. Mail is used to further a scheme--whether it originated in the mail, by telephone, or on the Internet. The use of the U.S. Mail is what makes it mail fraud.

If evidence of a postal violation exists, Postal Inspectors may seek prosecutive or administrative action against the violator. However, if money is lost through a fraudulent scheme conducted via the mail, Inspectors lack the authority to ensure you receive a refund and can’t require that products, services, or advertisements--on the Internet or elsewhere--be altered.

Postal Inspectors base investigations of mail fraud on the number, pattern, and substance of complaints received from the public. The Postal Inspection Service will carefully review the information you provide. We may share the information with other agencies when there is a possible violation within their jurisdiction.

If you feel you've been victimized in a fraud scheme that involves the U.S. Mail, submit a Mail Fraud Complaint Form to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.


I have found a phone number to call someone about this tomorow. Will let you all know what I find

Talking Re: "Huntington Prize Reports"

Hi Guys,
My friend got a similar mail saying that he won $1.9 million and asking him to pay $19. Does thing ring a bell for anyone??
As soon as I saw that I was telling my friend to send a mail asking them to deduct the requested $19 from 'his' $1.9million.

Re: "Huntington Prize Reports"

Has anybody got anything new to say bout these theives. Do we have a case against them? I recieved one of these letters today and doing my research, all I found were you all. Good job in getting together to stop these ass holes. If anybody wants to join the pursuit, let me know...I want to stop them and put them out of business. I think there is money to be made here. If you look, there is no disclaimer. This is promised money if you show proof of the money asking. Might be worth the 20 bucks. I will talk to an attorney tomorrow. If you interested in following up, I will post my finding here. Thanks again

Re: "Huntington Prize Reports"

Okay, I'm new here and just joined. Anyway, about Huntington Prize Reports. Today my mom received a letter from them, saying that they GURANTEED that she wins $1,900,000. I read everything over and over. I checked and searched for information. On the letter all they had was an address, no number or anything else to contact them. So I found this forum and gladed I did. Nothing was sent after reading all the post here. So I guess they are still out there trying to scam ppl.

Re: "Huntington Prize Reports"

I think I've learned a lesson. I was so excited when I got this letter in the mail. Unfortunately, I noticed a mistake in the expiration box that read " Expiry Date". Then even when I chose to ignore that, I couldn't find a web address, e-mail address, or phone number! And on top of that, the letter states in bold print that this is my "Final Notice" when it fact it is my only notice. I'm glad I decided to search and found this site because I was so excited almost wrote them a check! Whoever made that letter is surely a professional. They definitely need to be reported. Why can't people just make an honest living these days?!?

If your lawyer tells you that you may have a case against them, count me in!

Re: "Huntington Prize Reports"

I received a letter in the mail about a possible 1.9 million. Who in their right mind would consider doing this type of thing. If this person sends out 1 million letters and all respond, then he has made the money, not us. My file # is 2038721566
