Award Entitlement Verification
Have you ever received a sweepstakes prize which stated that “you are positively confirmed eligible for a cash prize?” If you have, then you are not alone.
If you take the time to read through the dizzying fine print you will likely discover that in fact you have won absolutely nothing. For $20.00 you can also send in to claim your prize you will discover the same thing.
This scam operates very simply. Technically they promise nothing. But they dress up the envelopes nicely and throw in some official sounding language to convince you that you have in fact won something spectacular. The whole idea is to get you to send them their fee, which normally is rather small. In exchange they give out coupons and sell your information to other scammers.
Be sure to read all the fine print, and then throw it away.
