I received a yellow postcard in the mail that said "We are trying to reach you with good news! It is really important that you call us toll free at 877-475-4024 ...Thanks, Danielle Craft" .............yeah it sounds like scam to me because they want your credit card number over the phone and they say you get a diamond watch free magazines and win trip to hawaii or so and like lots of money

I got the pretty little mysterious yellow postcard in the mail telling me they have good news for me. CHYARIGHT! You don't even know me! Who do you think you are and why should I fall for it and call you when: A. I don't even know who you are and where you got my info and B. You didn't tell me who you are or for what reason I should call you, other than "We are trying to reach you with good news". I'm pretty sure it's a scam because I did my research, instead of just calling a number that I don't know, and all I found is comments that other people posted as it being a scam. My suggestion is: DON'T CALL!

I received the yellow postcard on 10/23 and it said the same thing good news! call toll free and a control #.  Out of curiosity I called but all they told me was that I entered some sort of sweepstakes and I asked what kind and the guy just kept repeating himself and I hung up. I wonder how do they get all my information??

I *JUST* moved to Williamsburg, and received the same thing...  No clue how my new (less than a month old) address got out there.  Strange.  Thank you for posting on this site.  As for me, have torn up and thrown away the card.

My daughter rc'd this a few days ago, problem is, she did call it, and spoke to the girl. She said she was entered to win a contest. She coached her by tricking her saying, which card do you use, visa or mastercard...
and got her to say "yes" i would like to win, and then she somehow verified her address. So my daughter fell for it all, now WHAT happens. Thankfully she did not give her card number, but they already have her phone, address and that she has a card, and a recording of her saying "yes" to something.
What do we be on the look out for now? I feel sure they have gotten something accomplished by this call.

Got the same yellow postcard.  Total SCAM.  It's amazing what companies can get away with when worded just so...

October 11, 2008:

Got the same post card in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Seemed suspicious so I Googled the phone number and found this site.  Thank you for this community that looks out for people's best interest.

yea, "postage paid" doesn't mean free postage, it means they actually paid the postage

they don't get free postage
every time one of their postcards is delivered, they get a bill from the post office, anyone can pre-print postcards or envelopes like that, if you have your own bar code at the bottom so the p.o. can track it and bill you

I live in western Pennsylvania and I've received one of these today and also a few months ago- they are definitely a scam.  I called just to mess around with them.  I asked the guy how he got a job scamming people and he said it wasn't a scam, blah blah blah.  Don't give your credit card number to these people.  If the stuff they are giving away sounds too good to be true, it probably is. (And I'm saying it definitely is!)  He told me that they get the information from people from credit card companies, so if you have a credit card, I guess they get your address that way... I don't know if that's true though because credit card companies shouldn't be selling that information.  Anyhow, don't buy in!!

i received a post card to day too..its just ridiculous. scam. they probaby get the info from school, work, bank.

Yep (in Midwestern Illinois) received the "YELLOW CARD" today in the mail. I didn't call just googled the number and got me here! I love the internet for letting us look up #'s before we actually call! Haha they didn't get me!

Received yellow post card that everyone else has mentioned. I live in Columbus, OH. How can they legally do this? Who do you contact to report this apparent gross violation of the mail system?

I live in the midwest and received this postcard today.
This is the third time this year I have tried getting scammed into buying magazine subscriptions.

Chicago here-got the same card, but never do contests, so knew it was a scam of some kind. Now I know I am not alone. Thanks for information.

I live Raleigh, NC and I have recived too. I think they are trying to get cc# or another info about us isn't that wierd.

It is a scam, They got your info from buying it from companies. There are companies out there just trying to collect data and then sell it. Anytime you enter an e-mail, address, phone number, on anything it gets collected by someone. Don't give that stuff out unless they have a privacy clause that they don't sell your information.

I recieved the samething as everybody.. Don't waste your time! Throw it..

Yes, same card, trash can it goes. Thanks all. Georgia.

got a postcard saying to call this number b/c they were trying to get ahold of me with good news. There was a control number on it but no name of any company or anything like that. It was signed Danielle Craftt

return address was:
FRC
1381 S Missouri Ave
Clearwater, FL

I live in North Carolina too. I recieved the same yellow post card today. I decided I would try and find out about whoever it was before I called. That's when I found this site. Thanks to ya'll I know that it is a scam.

Live in NC. Received same yellow postcard, tore it away.

These people call my home 3 times a day 7 days a week. I received the following yellow card today 9/16/08 in the mail, it states the following;
We are trying to reach you with good news! It is really important that you call us at 1-877-475-4024 it list a control number and signed Thanks Danielle Craft call 10am to 8:30 pm est. Monday thru Friday.

Recieved same postcard in Kentucky! Didn't know what it was, so I didn't call; I decided to google the phone number. Thanks for all the posted information here.

I live in SoCal. Got the same card as everyone else. Before I decided to call I did a reverse address lookup on whitepages.com for this so called F.R.C. I found nothing at the address nor anything regarding the company.

I can't believe how shady people are and I'm baffled how they got free postage out of it.

i too received this in the mail and decided it was better not to call thanks to all the feed back on this site.

I got the same card everyone is referencing.  I actually called out of curiosity, but was definitely leary the entire time.  Like a couple others posted, they say they're entering you in a contest.  I can't remember all of the prizes, but one was $25k and another was a Ford product (can't remember which model).  Then they offered the magazines as another poster noted for a nominal fee of $3.79 a week or something like that. I turned that down and they said they were going to send me $50 in gas certificates for $1.79 shipping fee for trying some 'Savings Program'.  When I wouldn't give the girl my CC #, she went on a spiel about how it was safe and how I would be protected.  The second time I told her I wasn't interested, she just hung up on me.  Not sure why I didn't first, but I sometimes get entertained by some of the bs they come up with like, 'well, you can always cancel if you don't find that saving money is for you'.  

I'd rip it up and not even bother calling.  I'm not sure what info they can get from you just by calling, but you never know.

They sent me this post card. Had my full name on it and everything.

I got the same exact postcard.  I totally think it's a scam.  No one call these people.  They want to take your money.  I'm not even gonna give them the satisfaction.  I will shred the card and not give it another thought.

I just received this same yellow post card in the mail today. My first thought was "SCAMMMMM". People, please be aware!  There are a lot of scams out there. You can't trust anyone.
