I got something in the mail the other day saying i won a car , if the numbers matched up which they did... and then that i would be put on to the 1 million do0llar draw or the 1000 a week... I've heard something about this before but i dont remeber it was like 4 years ago... has anyone else gone through this? i find it fishy because the business card in the package has no phone number and only an adress... hmm i dont know what to do with this..any advise? im giving it to my mom tonight for her to look it over

Don't respond. They're trying to find out if you're a "live one" so they can sell your name/address to all the other scum in the unsolicited mail business.

I've never bought anything from them either, they buy your name from other companies, it's a never ending cycle.
Just today i got a letter in the mail from a "psycic" who felt "so close to me she had to reach out" and tell me about the 88 days of luck coming my way (if i return this coupon, and send $ lol)

I actually know someone who won close to $100,000 from reader's digest. Believe it or not.

if you do not want them, the best thing to do is use the postage pre-paid envelopes to return them....but.....return the Reader's Digest to Visa, the Visa to the Book Club, that one to Capitol One, and so on.
Hey, they are paying for the postage, sooner or later they'll catch on.
