Here is a report about a Hazel Peppergood scam reported to use from a consumer.  This is what the consumer had to say:

paid Hazel Peppergood $59.95 for her report on envelope stuffing programs, she sent me her report and included 3 mailing programs that she recommended.  I sent $79.00 to her top pick-Worldwide Publications.  When I received from Worldwide Publications it said I had to pay for the names on labels, envelopes and the 2 page circulars, which was very expensive.  I then emailed Hazel Peppergood that I was mislead and I couldn’t afford that. She emailed me back saying go ahead and said alot of other people were very happy with it.  She also said something I was under contract.  The next day I got on my email and noticed that every email that I had sent and every email that she had sent to me were gone.  Hazel Peppergood had hacked into my email and deleted them all.  Isn’t this illegal!

Thank You,

You may have gotten the Review and Respond Email but I don’t think you should respond because it is a scam.  Here is a copy of the scam email.

Rafael Emmanuel
BRANCH MANAGER
Banco Pichincha Quito Ecuador.

Hello,

My name is Rafael Emmanuel, I am the branch manager of the Banco Pichincha
Quito Ecuador. I got your information during my search on on the
Internet. I am 46years of age and married with 3 lovely kids. It may
interest you to know that I am a man of peace and I don’t want problems,
but I do not know how you will feel about this because you may have
double mind. But I am telling you that this is real and you are not
going to regret after doing this transaction with me. I only hope that
we can assist each other. But if you don’t want this business offer
kindly forget it and I will not contact you again.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as
the regional manager of Banco Pichincha Quito Ecuador; it is my duty to
send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city
(Quito Ecuador) at the end of each year. On the course of the year
2008 end of last 2 years report, I discovered that my branch in which I am
the manager made three million seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollar [$3, 750,000.00] which my head office is not aware of it and will
never be aware of. I have since place this fund on what we call suspense
account without any beneficiary.
