Postcard Scam Card


Hey Everyone,

Here's another Postcard Scam

I received a green postcard stating on the top:

 "SPECIAL NOTICE:  Pending cash grant claim $20,978 (DOE)" 
Deliver Exculsively to: (My Name)

Then above my name and address was "CLAIMS DOCUMENT REGISTERED TO" (My name and address) 
 
At the bottom of the front of the card, in a box, was:
 "WARNING:  $2,000 fine and/or 5 year imprisonment for interfering or obstructing with delivery, of this letter, US MAIL SECURITY, 1708".  
 
On the other side of the card, at the top, was 
"URGENT:  READ IMMEDIATELY." 
"DELIVERED BY:  Claims Department" 
"DOCUMENT REGISTERED TO": (My Name) 
"NOTICE:  Our office is trying to reach you r4egarding a dispersal of Government Funding."  
"STATUS:  Pending."  
" PLEASE INDICATE WHAT FUNDS WILL BE USED FOR":
(Small boxes for check marks with each of the following)
"Debt Pay-off"
"Business Start-up"
"Education"
"Travel"
"Home Improvement"
"Other"

 Toll Free: 1-800-321-6563
 
Release Code: 13880-01240
Claim Deadline Date: August 30, 2012

 I suppose this is to make everything is on the up and up and actually from the Federal Government, However I found the following information online:
