a new scam
So i haven’t seen this scam yet.. a pink envelope (looks like the rebate type envelopes- tear a side and pull out the slip). The envelope is pink and inside is a slip printed on a dot matrix printer saying “Official Notice” across the top and an official “Better Homes & Gardens” logo on the side.
It says Call 1-888-790-4463
Dear [my name],
We are trying to reach you regarding your $2,100,000.00 sweepstakes ID #[some ID number]. Please call us at the
Expiration Notice: We must hear from you by the deadline on the front of this mailer. (you mean the one I threw out?) Otherwise your ID number will expire.
So this looking like a scam I read all the fine print on the back. Remembered I don’t get Better Homes and Gardens and did my google search for this $2,100,000.00 sweepstakes. In the fine print it’s called “Strike it Rich V”. Immediately I came upon this: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=16320.
Such a scam. So many red flags. Why an odd amount? $2,100,000? I have to call them? Deadline? I didn’t enter.. the fine print says I have to enter.. wha? lame.
So I urge you to make that free call with your favorite sound board and get some humor at the expense of these scammers!
