I got a yellow postcard in the mail saying that it was "good News" to call the 1-888-673-5221 to find out what the good news is. I googled the # and read that it was a possible scam before I actually called the #. First the lady told me that I had been selected to be entered in a drawing and that the grand prize was 100,000 dollars and she kept talking and then started asking me questions and then repeated the grand prize amount but this time when she said it she said that it was 25,000 dollars. What a scam. Don't waste your time calling this number its a definate scam!

I din't receive a call but I received a yellow postcard that says "good news".
I actually did call them using this phone number (1 888-673-5221 )and the man on the phone told me to give them the control number. I don't know what will happen , but I will go to the post office to let them know.

i got a yellow card, i think they should stop sending garbage to people. WANTED... SOME ONE PLZ MAKE STOP THIS.

I did not actually recieve  a call from this number but I did receive a  little yellow postcard stating that they were trying to get in touch with me for some "good news". The return address is F.R.C 1381 S missouri ave clearwater,FL 33756-6500. Gives me no further info. No way am I calling the number to let some freak get a hold of it on a caller id to call and harrass me continuoisly

what is Fbi number

oh. Same thing happen with me. I don't know why they keep sending me those sports megazines.

Ben, you're just another company employee or some other shill for these dishonest high-pressure clowns. Peop[le aren't as stupid as you guys think.

Ben...like I really believe you that are happy with your subsriptions!  All over the internet the only thing linked to these yellow postcards and the fake names is SCAM.  Karma will come around to those people who try to scam honest and hard working Americans.  These scammers are pathetic and shouldn't be allowed to live in America.

I spent about 45 minutes trying to get these people off the phone.
I work for a market research firm (the company conducts research studies ONLY, It does not try to sell anything at all!)
It makes me quite a bit angry for telemarketers to harass people, because then others don't want to take surveys. Without people taking surveys, just on a personal note, I might lose my job. Taking a survey doesn't harm anyone! But, I do understand why someone wouldn't want to take a survey because of the experience they've had with a telemarketer.

My question, Ben, is did you receive anything else? I was promised a "diamond watch", along with another number of things, in exchange for $4.95/wk for magazines. I also received VERY vague answers to questions of when my credit card would stop being billed.

just got this today..was wondering who the heck it was. googled it, then got this. i'm wondering where do they get your information. i've been getting a lot of calls and etc. DO NOT CALL THESE numbers. they are scams and are only trying to keep you on the line for as long as possible.

My boyfriend is in the process of moving over to my home state and used my address for two things, one to apply for a bank account and one to buy one item over the internet to be shipped to my place.

Next thing that happens is this yellow postcard arriving stating exactly in the following format (minus the blanked name and control #):
"Dear ____
We are trying to reach you with
Good News!
It is really important that you call us.
Call Toll Free 1-888-673-5221
CONTROL # (some random number)
Thanks Michelle Barbaa
Call 10 am to 8:30 pm EST.
Monday thru Friday"

Lack of punctuation and etc.  The front postcard shows it's from:

F.R.C.
1381 S Missouri Ave
Clearwater, FL 33756-6500

It's an auto presorted, first-class mail from Ft. Meyers FL Permit No. 130.

Got the yellow postcard from
F.R.C.
1381 S Missouri Ave
Clearwater, Fl 33756-6500
with a "good news" icon on the front.
the back says to call 1-888-673-5221, Thanks Michelle Barbaa
This is definately a SCAM!  http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/280/RipOff0280668.htm
Don't call it, and whatever you do, don't give them any info!

i got this card in the mail, where did they get my names and address?

no phone call , just the yellow postcard.  after reading the comments here i know i will not call them to see what is going on.  thanks everyone.  i am a senior citizen so i do not need this garbage.

They have a website at www.familyreadingclub.com and have an address there. I called them and did not have any problems talking to anyone. When you called did you get upset with them or get mad? If you do not want to be bothered then just throw the card away.. geez...

I had the total opposite response from them and was happy with their magazine service.

no call just a yellow post card. it's definatly a scam.  the address in an abandoned car lot or repair shop and across the street is a furniture store. i called got a call center.  the guy said i was automatically entered into a sweepstakes drawing and they said they were going to send me a bunch of crap including sports ill and playboy for 24 months for free and a watch too...boy i think i won the lotto here!  these guys are scam artists!  if you confront them they will hangup on you immediately. they said frc stands for family reading club.  these guys will be very persistant.  i had to call the FBI to get them to stop sending me stuff and calling 24hrs a day.

I also got a card with the same color

i also got this yellow postcard. i have not yet tried to call the number, and probably wont.
