The Simsbury Police Department would like to alert residents to numerous fraudulent notices of large cash entitlements or awards that have been received in the area. These notices claim the recipients will receive or are owed a large amount of money. Some letters also contain what appears to be a check payable to the receiver.
The senders of these notices each request an enrollment, processing or registration fee (usually twenty dollars) payable to the sender.
A sample of the fraudulent letter was received from 'Unclaimed Sweeps Advisory', however there are several other names these letters can be received from. Although these notices have an official appearance and the monetary value is quite appealing to the receiver, do not send money to these so-called agencies.
This is a scam and the sender’s intent is to receive each recipient’s twenty-dollar “fee.”
