The same scam involving a postcard has been repeated, this time claiming a package was not picked up and warning of a final attempt; the card features bogus prize winnings and is likely targeting unsuspecting individuals
Don't fall for the 1‑800‑309‑8595 scam!
Summary — +18003098595
Expert Opinion
Late last week, dozens of users reported receiving glossy postcards claiming they won luxury cars, cash prizes, or cruise vouchers and were urged to call 1‑800‑309‑8595. The letters consistently cite an “AVC Travel” or “Awards Verification Center” as the source, but the address and phone number belong to a known scam operation that harvests personal data and charges fees for nonexistent prize winnings. Recipients should never share personal or financial information, avoid calling the listed number, and report the mail to the FTC and local post office. Delete the correspondence, block the caller ID, and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity.
