A friend gave me one of their postcards. It says to send s.a.s.e. and $1 to po box in AZ.  They claim to be able to pay off all my bills...

Lifesystems seems to advertise very heavily on the Internet, but I can't find a website for the company or any other information about them. All the ads require you send them $1 and seem to make promises that they will get rid of all your debt. I'm very suspicious of any company that advertises so much without direct contact info.

I tried cashcrate. They loaded up my mailbox with more than 150 offers EVERYDAY. I'm sure some people got paid but I stopped using the site when that happened. They pay you by paypal for free but deduct money from you for a check.

The money orders that I have gotten all have the sender's address(you) on that line. Good Luck!

Unfortunatly you can't specify what type of mail that you want or don't want. The Post Office is paid by mailers to deliver whatever they send to every mailbox, be it on the street or a PO Box. Sorry.

Listen if it is not a straight foward payment and send, do not bother. It sounds like more of a hassle to me than anything.\n\nGood Luck!

You have to go to the nearest local Post Office and apply for a box.   If one is available, you will get it right away...but be prepared to pay.

I'll go somewhere and send you a postcard. Does that help?

The Post Office delivers mail to an address, not a specific person at the address. This includes P.O. boxes.\nIt's either a freak occurrence or something else is wrong.

I am sorry to advise you it is a scam. Ask yourself. Did you buy a ticket, do you have a proof that you have a ticket with winning number? When did you go to South Africa to buy a ticket?? And they would have called you.\n\nIf you just got an email.. and they write back for more info from you.. you know you on a way to be robbed. DO NOT GIVE ANY DETAILS> No one knows who wins a LOTTO till the person with a ticket goes to the LOTTO themselves.

I honestly don't think that it is possible to purchase ANY state lottery tickets this way! Common sense..................Go to a gas station!  And Lottery tickets are ONLY to be paid for with cash, so anyone that tells you to pay with credit card is scamming you-----BIG TIME!

One good way to tell if snail-mail is junk or a scam or whatever... look at the stamp and the cancellation.  If it says first class mail then it was probably (at least) addressed specifically to you.  If it says anything about bulk mail, about 10,000 other people got the exact same thing, and its worthless.\n (pre-sorted is pretty much the same as bulk mail)\n\nIt can't hurt to call them or check their website if your curious AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INFORMATION. If they ask for any fees or anything like that up front, drop them like a hot potato.

Yes, where can I send you my money or should I just save time and throw it out the window myself? \nJesus! Do people still fall for theses things?

Don't believe that, and throw the postcard away.\n\nThe only legitimate sources of information on grants is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your objectives (if any).

These are my thoughts on this.  \n1) The fact that they only provide a PO box not a street address is a cause for alarm.\n2) There is no listing for them in the local business area on the site: http://www.eatonrapidsmi.net/  Another cause for alarm, if they are a legitimate thriving business it would seem to me that they'd be listed/involved in the community in some way.\n3) Take heed, you did not mention if there is any "start up" costs for you (sometimes these scam things tend to lure you in with promises on big returns for a small outlay for supplies).  Even if the initial offer is not indicating this they "tell" you in the teeny tiney print or at the last second after they've gotten you hooked on the idea of easy money, this is how they make their money.  Any job where you have to put money up front to make money is not a real job it's a scam.\n4) If you're still not certain, take a minute and check with the local chamber of commerce  or equivilant, for Eaton Rapids.  If this is a legitimate business they should have at least heard of them or they'd be a part of the chamber.  \n5) IF the company has a contact # then find out their real address if at all possible.  You may be able to use that to search the Better Business Bureau site.  But I can almost guarantee they won't be willing to give that out.\n6) If you do decide to write/contact them keep in mind that your name address & # will now be a part of their records and you could find yourself the recipient of tons of unwanted junk mail & phone calls.\n7) DO NOT!! GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFO WITHOUT CHECKING AND VERIFYING ALL OF THEIR INFO FIRST!  Sorry to "shout" that but it cannot be said enough.  In this day and age of identity theft security improvements you'd be surprised the lengths people will go to to obtain other's personal info, even to the extent of taking out ads for a bogus job offer, it does't take a whole lot to rent a PO Box, and once they harvest enough info they let it lapse and move along, well before anyone is on to their scam.\n\nJust remember, just because they don't have anything on them at the BB doesn't mean they're good or bad.  They might be legitimate but if they are they'll be willing to provide to you their credentials, (Business license #, contact names & numbers, a physical address & more).  Still unsure, check out the BB site again, they have links and info on prevention of scams and bogus job offers.\n\nNote:  I just checked the BBB myself for C & R and noted that they warn about the possible fraud in this type of job and do note a contact # but they have not received any info from this company.  From my own experiences if the company is legitimate with nothing to hide, then they'll willingly provide info to the BBB.  Whatever you do, just use caution in your dealings with them.\nhttp://www.westernmichigan.bbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=25004851&language=1

I am not sure if it is a fishing page, but the name should give a clue to anyone that it is not legit.  If it were free lotto, then why would you have to pay to play? I tend to stay away from too good to be true web pages, just like the mail we used to get, if it is too good to be true, then it probably is.
