Financial Acquisition Agency
Complaint 143972 Details

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,
