New number for Hammond Reed 973-310-9092- Call to claim 2 tickets worth up to $1,400.00 - "Travel Awards Division"

This was not a call received. Instead, a sealed letter with the penmanship of a youngster received on April 20, 2009.  I live in the P***nix Area and have not heard of such a company. Please be wise and do not respond. This information is true and trustworthy. Written by AA on 04/21/2009 11:31 AZ Time.

Hammond Reed is reading this.  There were comments here about the website.  And the owner of the website c****ed it on the 20th (most recent edit according to the website files) so the only things on there now are a homepage and a contact form.  I wish I knew where our info was gathered.  My husband is usually very tight with his personal info and we have lived here less than a year.  The number in our letter was 480-459-3245.

Thank you all for your input. I also receied a letter, with 480area code.  I don't have any badcredit, but have registered atseveral online businesses.I hope everyone checks this website before responding to unsolicited letters, emails, ortelephone calls.  I'm broke, and Ican't afford to lose anything else!

Got the same letter addressed to my husband.  I called and as soon as the (very well-spoken female) rep said "at this point, you would send in your money...")  I s****ed laughing and ***g up.  I wonder how many poor souls have actually sent them money???

Hubby got the letter today, and it sounded good, but alas, just another scam to seperate you from your money.  The area code (480) on his letter was for Mesa, AZ, not P***nix, AZ, but a scam none the less.  Don't fall for it!!Their website is a joke!!

My husband received the same letter.  We have had repo guys out at our new address looking for a car owned by another person with the same name as my husband.  I****ume this letter is trying to lure you out to pick up the prize and then ****** the car. Do any of you have creditors after you?  This may be a way to find you. Or it could be just a simple scam...no one is going to get 2 free airline tickets...throw it out.

If you look at the testimonials in the contact us section it is all testimonials for an investment service but the home page says they manage and distribute rewards.  Obviously this isn't the first scam they set up and they are too lazy to even take down all of the old one.

Same as everyone else that commented here. Hand written mailing address to me, no return address.  No hits on the internet. Pure scam.I'm tempted to call just to have fun with them but who has the time.

I received the same letter offering the two airline vouchers, except I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and a local number was provided to me to claim the prize.The number they gave me is: 682-227-6388.The envelope was addressed by hand, with the penmanship of a neat teenager. The postmark on the letter is from P***nix AZ. The envelope was the cheap kind you can buy from a WalMart, but the stationery was a slightly better grade of paper. The letter was signed by "Jackie Wilson, Vice President, Travel Awards Division." (Isn't there a song called "Jackie Wilson Said"?)It doesn't take a genius to****ume that the letter is some sort of scam. THERE IS NO RETURN ADDRESS!!!I loved the touch where they claimed they attempted to contact me several times without success. Why would they waste 42 cents on a stamp, cost of stationery, and the minimum wage they are paying someone to address the envelope so that they can give me so****ing for nothing? Wait! Maybe this is the result of one of those "make $100K a year working from your home addressing envelopes" scams! Written by a Nigerian Prince trying to get funds out of his country? I trashed it, folks. Thank you, everyone, for sharing your comments.

I received the same letter. The website is a joke, I am not going to waste my time.

I got the letter - didnt even know I entered compe***ion that qualified for 2 tickets. So I checked their website - www.hammondreed.com. From this webpage you could almost believe that they were a company that "manages" giving out awards, but, when Googling their name, the only hit on their name was this actual webpage. This in itself is odd  considering that the page had a copyright mark of 2003, so I would have expected some hits on the company.  So, from their own webpage, if you click on "Contact Us" which reveals a new menu bar with a Testimonials link to a webpage with 4 testimonials. Then I tried looking up the companies who supplied these testimonials and the only real hit was for a company called "Gold Seal Investments" (use the quote marks when you Google it). The real surprising (not) thing is the number of websites that have the heading "Testimonials" supposedly from Tyrone Walker of Gold Seal Investments and how "amazed" he is with a  myriad number of companies and the services they provide - you have just got to read the entries as the appear in the Google search output for a laugh in page 2, 3, 4 etc.Really, has someone who tried this and created these webpages got no imagination. Or, is it the case that whichever company gets their prebuilt webpages from Godaddy.com or whereever equally lacking in imagination. Or, maybe old Tyrone really is amazed at all these companies. Back to letter... its probably just another piece of junk mail as I havnt recieved any calls that I have supposedly missed. The phone number is a Delaware area code (probably to hide the actual originator) - the envelope is postmarked in P***nix.Knowing its all junk - its probably worth just giving them a call just to see what it takes to get the tickets I have won for a laugh. I'll call from work which also routes all calls through Delaware on a 302 area code even though it originates from a diffent state - a feature of the agreement with AT&T.

my husband got the same letter. thank you everyone for your info -- i will shred it now!  "if it looks to good to be true....it probably is".........

Hubby also got a letter. I checked out the website and the resources link is bogus. Nothing filed with the better business bureau, but also no ratings from them. Nothing stated about their company on any search engine that states this is legit.  We're not pursuing the tickets.

Got the same lettr as above signed by Jackie Weber. 480-459-3245 This is a scam!

I received this week from the Hammond Reed company.  It was personally addressed to me (written in pen ink) and was signed in Pen Ink as well.  The letter informed me that I qualified for an award of 2 round trip airline tickets of up to $1400.00 with certain restrictions.  What this reward is for I do not know.  It also says that this is the last attempt to contact me.  I never received any other contact from this company either by email, phone or letterIt provided me a p***nix based telephone number to call so that they can issue ticket Vouchers.  What is odd is that the paper is actually signed by a real person, some Jackie Weber.  I went to their website and it is obviously fake, one of the worst websites I have ever seen. I think that it might be a clever trick for you to give information to a creditor or maybe someone you owe money to.I would not respond to this letter.  VERY SHADY!

Also received a letter. Checked out the website on the letter. This is a scam company. If you go to the contact us page you will see other links for the website. The links are default template links provided by godaddy the domain name provider for this scam company. Don't waste your time calling them. Yo have been warned!!

Also received a letter from Hammond Reed, claiming that I have "qualified for an award of 2 r/t airline tix worth $1400". And to please call 480-459-3245. Any one know what this is about?

This looks like a scam to me...got a letter in the mail to call them about "free" airline tickets.
