I'M INTERESTED IN STARTING THE PREPAID SWEEPSTAKES GAMING. Does anyone know just how that works?
Yes I do and it is a scam and you want to stay far away especially now that the justice Department is going after all gambling sites whether ornot located in the U.S.A. or not .
Is there an ongoing microsoft and AOL sweepstakes going on?
NO, NO, NO...
This is a SCAM, it resurfaces once in a while but it is a Hoax,
General rule of thumb, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
If you get things like this in your email, just put the subject line in a search engine and check it out first

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them.
http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lo...
Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

You receive an unsolicited email, which states that you have won a major prize in an international lottery. Supposedly, your email address was collected online and attached to a random number that was subsequently entered in a draw for the lottery. In order to claim your prize, you are instructed to contact the official "agent" in charge of your case. You are also advised to keep the win confidential for "security reasons". This part of the scam is basically a random phishing expedition. If you respond in any way to the email, the scammers will send further messages or even contact you by phone in an attempt to draw you deeper into the scam.
You may be asked to provide banking details, a large amount of personal information, and copies of your driver's licence and passport. Ostensibly, these requests are to prove your identity and facilitate the transfer of your winnings. However, if you comply with these requests, the scammers will have enough information to steal your identity.
Sooner or later, the scammers will request some sort of advance fee supposedly to cover administration, legal or delivery costs. At its core, this scam is just a reworking of the Nigerian loan fraud, in which scammers also eventually ask for upfront fees to facilitate the "deal". Like Nigerian scams, victims who do actually pay the requested fees will probably find that they receive continuing payment demands to cover "unexpected expenses". The requests for money will go on until the victim realizes what is happening or has no further money to send.
In some cases, the scammers give victims the option of opening an account at a particular bank as an alternative to paying upfront fees. However, this "bank" which is completely bogus, will insist on an initial deposit of $3000 as a requirement for opening the account. The fake bank will have a legitimate looking website to reinforce the scam. In other cases, the victim is given the option of travelling to an overseas destination and paying a cash fee to facilitate the release of the funds. However, any "winnings" released to the victim will be counterfeit and therefore worthless.
The details of the lottery scams vary regularly with regard to the name of the lottery itself, the country of origin, the sponsoring organization, the amount of the "prize" and other particulars. The scammers try to add a patina of legitimacy to their claims by mentioning real financial institutions, government departments or well-known companies. They may also provide links to slick looking, but fraudulent websites that are designed to back up information included in the scam emails. If the scammers are successful in establishing a dialogue with a potential victim, they may provide "proof" such as a scanned image of a supposed government official's ID and even photographs of the "winnings" in cash.

Reply:This is a scam. Why would someone send an unsolicited check for a contest in Canada? There is ZERO chance of you making money, and if you pursue this you run a real risk of loosing money and having to live with the shame of falling for such a ridiculous ploy. Throw the letter out, or forward it to your states attorney general, nothing good can come of it.

Are department store sweepstakes for real?

Why is it that old people are always the winner o the Publisher's Clearance House sweepstakes?
Not only is it always old people, they always look like they already have money. At least enough not to be struggling. My theory is Ed is afraid to walk into a neighborhood where people really need the money with that check. When they draw a winner they probly look into it and see if its a part of town they feel comfortable in.
Why is it that old people are always the winner o the Publisher's Clearance House sweepstakes?
I think it's because they actually take the time and enter consistently,to win you have to enter and keep up with all the crap that goes along with PCH and they take the time to do all of it.They probably buy lots of magazines too.
Reply:they are the only people that enter them.

Sweepstakes Entries-How can we get companies to only ask for age or age range instead of exact d.o.b.?
The reason that they want D.O.B is so they can look up your information. I used to work at the Sears Call Center in Canada, and to have people sign up for a Sears Card, we needed either their Social Insurance Number - which most people won't give. But by getting their birthdate, Sears Canada could look up their Social Insurance Number - which with that they can access all your information. I don't give out my birthdate any longer, I use fake ones for things that aren't my bank or government related.

You cannot save every sucker from him/herself. But bankers could be more careful about wiring money to Nigeria. It's amazing how many bankers ask no questions when victims of scam artists ask to wire $1 million, more or less, to an unknown account in a Lagos bank.
Reply:I'd say look it up. Fraud in general has some stiff penalties. If you are ineterested further, look into starting a VSI to strengthen those penalties. It's doubtful you can do much for preventing it in the first place, sadly.
Reply:YOu can contact www.dma.com to get them off the mailing lists and restrict the amount of mail they get.
The problem is that the elderly cannot be dissuaded that these mailing are just a scam.
My father-in-law is convinved he has won money, when he has won nothing, but you can;t tell him otherwise
Reply:If you are in the UK, then try contacting your local trading standards department. The citizens advice bureau may be able to help too. It may also be worth speaking to your local police station, to see if they know of this person.
Reply:Warn them. Teach them about caller ID. Check their mail for them. Don't let them check their own email without teaching them about spam.
Reply:no.. just make sure they tell you when they hear about it.
Reply:Yes, as soon as you catch one - fix him in such a way he will never do it again (do you understand me ?)

Fraudulent (Scam) Emails – what to do first
Lottery scam (fraudulent) emails are increasing at an alarming rate.
Scam emails try to persuade the email receiver to submit personal information or to part with money as an up front payment in order to release a winning lottery prize.
As a general rule, if you have not purchased a ticket for the UK National Lottery, you won’t have won a prize, and you should treat the email with absolute caution.
The following points are some things to look for in order to identify a fraudulent email:
* If the email says ‘Winning Notification’ or ‘Lottery Sweep Stake’ in the text, the email you’ve received is not from UK National Lottery;
* We don’t tell players how much they've won in an email; and
* We don’t ask for any Player information like name, address or bank details on an email.
Reply:Rule of thumb:
You can't win if you don't play....
If you have never participated you didn't win!
Reply:DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY THERE!!!!!! Trust me, I can tell 100% that that is a scam. DELETE IT NOW!!!

If they are offering money or big prizes for a competition you never entered you can guarantee its a scam...if something looks too good to be true then chances are it is too good to be true...you get nothing for nothing these days...( did you ever?)
Reply:Sounds like a Jip... I would throw it away.
Reply:Trash this email NOW!! Like even yesterday!!!
These are just scams: once you have given out your personal account details and given a certain amount of processing fees, the guys will just disappear!!
Also, remember to trash any future letters of "So-many-millions-in-my-late-dad's-accou... in Nigeria" (or any other place!) stories!!

You lost. If you have to purchase or pay anything for any prize you are not winning but are being asked to make a purchase. You never have to pay for something you win. It is a scam. Re-read what you've written here and think on it.

How much can i improve online banner clickthrough rates by including a sweepstakes or instant win offer?
Once i had an amazing clickthrough rate for a telco banner promising a win, you were supposed to click the banner when it changed colour. Text said "click when the cat gets green, and win" of course you didn't win (it was impossible to catch the green cat) but you were redirected to the actual contest.
On the other hand these mechanisms might get boring after a while. A smart headline planned in the right place might work better.
Or even better a campaign not necessarily based on banners but on community, word of mouth through the web and so on...

banner click throughs are not as good as content based ads. Anything free will obviously catch someones eyes, but I think also adding interesting colors and images can help too.

Reply:If this is what I think it is then a pop-up blocker is NOT going to stop it. It depends on the situation.
If you only get the pop-ups when you are browing websites then a pop-up blocker in your browser will stop them.
If you are getting the pop-ups when you are not browsing websites then these are messages being sent using the Microsoft Messenger Service (Note - this is not the same as MSN messenger!).

Before running the program you might want to clear out your Internet History, delete your cookies and clear out your temp folder which all of theses steps are located in your Internet Options. Once you have done that install Windows Defender from Microsoft.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...
Just click on that link there which will send you directly to there. You might want to make sure also you have the latest virus definitions also, and have the latest windows updates. I suggest you run the spy-ware program in safe mode since there isnt alot of processes running that are bind to any programs which will get rid of anything faster if it doesnt run in safe mode disable all the startup programs from your computer and run the program all over again and make sure your not connected to the internet so nothing tries to access the net as you run the programs.

Has anyone out there been contacted or heard from an "American Sweepstakes" who claims to have a legal dept. in N.J. but is really calling on the phone from area 416 which is located in Ontario?? Would love to get input on this. I reported my incident to the local Police Chief and my report is on record. They claimed I entered a sweepstakes in Mar.'06 and had won $340,000. I told them I never entered any sweepstakes and requested a mailing address for their organization or brochure at which time the caller hung up on me. I have caller i.d. and still have the number. I was contacted by them approximately 3 weeks ago around April 27.

you should report them. its fraud
Reply:It is a complete ripoff. They would have tried to get banking and other personal information from you. Contact your local law enforcement agency as well as your state Attorneys General Office.

Does anyone enter sweepstakes and contests regularly like me?
Any tips on winning? Any frustrations? Tell me if you won anything! My most recent win (10/13) was from Shape.com: A basket of Mrs. Meyers Clean Day cleaning products (retails at about $40 and was a one time entry)!! My biggest win was my FIRST win way back in 1991. It was a Winston grand prize to drive a funny car or a stock car but I took the 1800 in cash :) After that I was hooked! What's your story?
Does anyone enter sweepstakes and contests regularly like me?
I enter on line contests for one hour every day. I have won 250 dollars, a 50 dollar grocery gift certificate, a cellphone with three months unlimited usage, autographed pics of various celebs, a spa gift certificate, a hundred dollar visa gift card, a basketball jersey, a 500 dollar custom wig (that I will never use, hopefully), free product coupons, itunes, etc.
I got hooked when I was little. I would buy raffle tickets from my grandma and her friends and would win something once a month. The only prize I remember from back then is a set of cookware valued at 500 dollars that my mom got.
The only tip I have is search the Internet for freebie sites that have contest lists, and read the rules. Some contests are one entry only and if you enter again you void the first entry. Lately I seen to have the most luck with the instant win contests where you enter daily. I almost forgot, last week I won a stop watch, a pair of hiking boots and a bicycle. I am waiting on them to come.
Good luck and have fun.
Reply:I enter them all the time. I haven't won anything yet except 10.00 for surveyspot.com. I'm always looking for contest or freebies..I'm so hooked also
Reply:I used to enter anything I could, but I never won anything so I pretty much gave up.
My brother in law won a boat from Albertson's grocery store a few years back, it was one that you filled out the paper at the store and could enter as many times as you wanted, so he took the whole little "book" of papers home, filled them all out and then took them back and entered them all in the little box. It worked for him!

Any sweepstakes for next year's All-Star Game?
I truly want to be at Yankee Stadium in '08 to see one more game at the House that Ruth Built. Nothing better than an All-Star Game for that. Therefore, I want to know of every contest available that can give me that chance.
Any sweepstakes for next year's All-Star Game?
I'm sure there are plenty of options to pick from. If you live in NY, I would advise over the next year you listen to every radio and tv contest they offer.
As of from MLB itself, I know during the playoffs last year they had a Fantasy Survivor contest on MLB.com. Each day of the playoffs you were asked to pick one winner from the entire day, if you were wrong, you were eliminated. If you were right, you moved on until there was only one person left standing. The winner got a free trip to SF for this year's game.
I played and came within 250 people before I lost.

This is a newer variation on the old scam of getting free money from something you didn't enter. This is spam mail, and belongs in spam. I hope you didn't answer it!?!?!

Do you think anyone ever wins those Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards Sweepstakes?
My friend has been trying forever, calling in and such, and now he can type on the phone so fast, he can type the 1-800 number in wat seems like less than a second. But then all he gets is that the number is busy. Do you think anyone ever wins it or does Nick just do it for fun/prank?

How can i verify a sweepstakes award "first installment" check?
colina financial group ltd asks to be contacted to confirm a processing fee to be deducted from a "first installment" check bearing w.r.starkey mortgage,llp (in plano,tx) and guaranty bank texas, na (in dallas,tx) on the check.
How can i verify a sweepstakes award "first installment" check?
THE BANK SHOULD BE ABLE TO VERIFY WHETHER THE CHEQUE IS VALID OR IF THAT BANK IS REAL.
BEST BET IS TO READ THE FINE PRINT ON THE CHEQUE AND OTHER DOCUMENTS,
LOOK FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY SUGGEST OTHERWISE.
Reply:It is most likely fraud. Did you enter a sweepstake???? I didn't think so. I am a bank manager and see this all the time. If you deposit the check it will be returned. and if you sent the "processing fee" you will be out of the money. Why would you need to pay a processing fee to collect a sweepstake prize. Why would they just take it out of the funds that they sent you.
Trust me it is fraud.

Fraud sweepstakes money express?
HI,
Today I got a mail letter saying that I won a big amount of money, therefore I needed to send $28.50 so they could send me the big amount of money! Can I sue this people for what their doing? I mean, just imagine all the people who get this same letter and send 28.50 everyday, I cant believe it! Let me know what you think.
Fraud sweepstakes money express?
I received the same letter from
Sweepstakes Money Express
9101 West Sahara, #105 PMB 600
Las Vegas, NV 89117.
I've posted the address because I am curious if they move around and have used other addresses. Does anybody know?
I read the language carefully. The letter reads that you are paying to secure entries to win (not receive) an amount from $612,444.89 up to $1M. The language is sufficiently ambiguous that it appears you are paying to enter a sweepstakes--no real guarantee of any winnings to my eye.
The text on the back of the letter advises that you may submit without making payment of "premium incentive". In which case you must use your own envelope and not the prepaid return envelope that they sent. I missed the part that explains what the "premium incentive" is.
If I actually won then they should just deduct $28.50 from the winnings. Am I wrong?
I'm considering reporting this to the US Post Office. Mail fraud is a federal offense. The USPS has the responsibility for investigating these kinds of schemes. You might do the same.
Reply:I don't think you can sue anyone for that, but you can alert the authorities.
Good on you for being savvy enough to pick that as a scam. Thousands of people get scammed out of money with these 'advance fee' ripoffs.
I don't know where you are, but I would look for a financial services regulation organisation, or a consumer protection organisation, and let them know, so they can inform others.
Best wishes

Did I really win this sweepstakes?
Today I received a letter in the mail that seems very legit. It is addressed to me and it says:
Dear Lucky Winner,
This is to inform you that a lump sum amount of $215,000.00 has been deposited into our bank by the international Lottery cooperation as your sweepstakes prize. Enclosed is a check of $4400.00 as your first payment.
Your prize can be transferred to your bank account electronically or sent to your address as a certified check. Please contact your claim agent and specify how you want to receive the balance of your prize.
You are required to contact your claim agent before depositing the check in order to register and activate your claim.
**
It gives the number to the claim agent and says the time they're open. They gave me a claim number as well.
Also, there is a check for $4,400.00. It seems authentic, no void written on it.
The letter is from Liberty Investments INC in Ontario, Canada. I have entered many contests. Could this be real?
Did I really win this sweepstakes?
First off, you do have a least a ounce of common sense, (otherwise you would have sent the money). What I mean is ask yourself these questions. Did I enter this contest? If not, how did they come to get my name? Why would they send me a check and not the full amount if this is legit? Why would I need to contact anyone? Something sounds too good to be true, so it isnt. What happens when you contact this agent and most are african. They will tell you to deposit the (phoney) check in your acct. Then in order to pay for the handling of your claim, you will need get (a legit) cashiers check issued from your bank. While you are so anxious to get this done to receive all this money. You send it b e f o r e their phoney check has a chance to clear the banking system. So while you dream about what you are going to do with all these thousands you are believing to receive because you have done what was asked of you, the bank is getting ready to deliver a bombshell to your door, via mail. That the check did not clear and you are liable for all the fees and the face amt of the check. Thank God my mom did no do her usual and be gulable, she gave me her "secret" and told me about it. Well I checked the bank which suposedly issued the check and was told by them that there is no such number. Then I checked with the clearing house that handles the check. They said they do not know the establishment but just handle their acct. These agents are not locatable. The addresses do not exist. I had them from Spain, Amsterdam and Australia. Each is an african who is the agent. You can tell by their voices.
So when you get those letters, you can forward them on to the FTC or just check them with the web site on the bottom.
Don't forget if it sounds too good to be true it probablely...
Reply:If you're in States and the add on the check shows ontario, that's a Big hint it's a scam...

By the time that check reaches your bank they'll already have you whiped out, then they're check will bounce. And a lot of the time there's nothing you can do about it once it's been done.
PS. Sodexho Inc is a food service corporation out of Gathersburg MD. Not what they claim in your letter.
Reply:Is there a number on the letter? If so, call the bank abnd ask them things about the contest.
Also, never give them your Credit Card number/SSN, etc. That'd be bad.
Reply:sorry, it is a scam.
Reply:You didnt win anything. Throw it away-delete it, whatever.
Here is the key. They want you to give them your bank account number so they can deposit your winnings into your account.
You give them your number, they clean your account out-every dime you own.
If its too good to be true-it is.
Reply:what happens is you cash the check , then they tell you later that you need 3500 or something to process the rest of the money. so, you send the 3500 to them, they disappear without a trace and your stuck paying back your bank for the bounced check.
the best thing to remember when recognizing a scam is if you didn't enter a lottery or sweepstakes and get a check that says you won. its fake!
also most of these types of scams are foreign.
never give personal info over the phone , social security, bank acct. #'s and such, if someone asks for that info , yep!its a scam.

Reply:It doesn't smell good to me. It seems that if you won something legitimate that it would have the name of the sweepstakes in the letter not just a blanket term. I would definitely advise you to proceed with caution, and whatever you do, DO NOT give the so-called claim agent any personal information such as a bank account number, mother's maiden name, social security number, etc. Do an Internet search for Liberty Investments INC and see if it is a legitimate institution. Please be careful!!!!
Reply:You could use a quick lesson in scams right now before you get into trouble. I also received several legit looking checks (high tech security features) and correspondence of big money wins.

#2 You are responsible for any monies from these scams. Make sure it is a sure win
#3 The scams are designed to get to your money via information and bank account numbers, names and addresses and SS#s.
Do your homework and you will be surpised. Also type lottories in search engine,. MSNBC (hotmail) has info in their dateline reports. The government has info. Many people are falling for the promise of big bucks and loosing everything. be careful, nothing is free. good luck

What is the name of the song from the Pepsi Free Ride Sweepstakes Commercial?
It's the commercial where the guy is standing on the street hill and the giant pepsi ball hits him and sends him rolling down the hill with it... and the song goes like, "ohhh-weeee-ooooh-oooooh!" then more lyrics that I can't really make out.... the entire song is really fast paced.... and I remember there was a forign version of it on the movie "Euro Trip" when they're driving on the map made out of stuff on the table at their resturant.... I've always wanted to know what the song was.
What is the name of the song from the Pepsi Free Ride Sweepstakes Commercial?
The Pepsi commercial uses "Ca Plane Pour Moi" covered by The Presidents of the United States of America
The Plastic Bertrand version was used in Eurotrip.
Reply:That song is called "Ca Plane Pour Moi" by Plastic Bertrand. It was a remake of sorts, had the same backing track as the song "Jet Boy Jet Girl" by Elton Motello.
Both songs came out around '78.

I received a letter and a check from rainbow investment group & sweepstakes lottery inc stating that the check
is to cover fees for a large amount of money that will be released after I cash the check and send them part of it. The check is from Peoples Bank in Lynden WA. Anyone else get something like this?
I received a letter and a check from rainbow investment group %26amp; sweepstakes lottery inc stating that the check
Why would an investment group team up with a lottery / sweepstakes company and start randomly giving large sums of money away? What's in it for them?
Here's how the scam works. You cash the check you take some or all of the money and you send it to them. They then keep your money and you never hear from them again. Next, the check they gave you bounces and you get hit with a bounce fee and the bank takes all the money back. So now you are out the bounce fee and the money you sent to them.
It is a very common scam these days. You didn't win any money, and the letter/email you got is completely bogus.
Reply:i would take it to a lawyer before i cash it and have him check it out. i'm sure it is some kind of scam.
Reply:Its a SCAM..
Think about it.. If you won a Lottery... Anywhere in the WORLD..... Don't you think they would fly you out there so, they can have you on TV and whatever else...
Think about it.. Here in the US.. If anyone wins anything even near a million.. Its all over the newspapers and TV...
There probley going to try and steal your identity or after you fill out Payment Processing.. There going to say please send us (about) $5,000 for the taxes and processing fees...
So, I wouldn't do anything but, just ignore them.. Or write back and say.. Send me the money and I'll send you the info back once I received it..
They will never answer you back.. and I would try and call you Internet provider and tell them about it...
Good luck with everything and let us know what happens...

Does anyone know a good website for real sweepstakes with real winners? Many of these sites are full of scams.
If anyone has actually won something from an online sweepstakes, where did you enter or where did you find good leads??
Does anyone know a good website for real sweepstakes with real winners? Many of these sites are full of scams.
Most of them are cons, because no one is going to give you money and free stuff for doing nothing. That's what working is for.
But the best shot you have would be to enter sweepstakes that you see advertised on TV. Like ones that game shows and other TV shows have to keep you interested. Deal or No Deal used to have that $10,000 giveaway etc. At least with it being on national TV you know it's less likely to be a scam.

Has anyone every actually won sweepstakes form publishers clearing house?
after returnign email...after email.....
Has anyone every actually won sweepstakes form publishers clearing house?
This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams. There is also an online form for the reporting of such. (with links for your own country.)
http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/sw...
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/or...
Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Has anyone ever won a sweepstakes like you see at McDonalds? Always see advertised but never a winner?
Right now McDonalds has the Monopoly but I am talking about any sweepstakes where a substantial amount of money is won. Publishers Clearing House, anything like that.
Has anyone ever won a sweepstakes like you see at McDonalds? Always see advertised but never a winner?
I've never won %26amp; I know of no one that has.
Makes you wonder!!!
Reply:The winners are usually widely published. However, the really big nationally advertised sweepstakes have millions of entrants. The odds of winning the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes are longer than those of winning the lottery! Therefore, it's not that surprising to not personally know anyone who's won.
I do know a lot of people who have won big prizes such as cars and thousands of dollars in cash. For some examples, you might want to take a look at this article: http://contests.about.com/od/realwinners... Good luck!

Reply:If you mean the ones in June then I read on the official rules a while ago that winners would be notified on or around July 10.

If all you got was the check and they have asked nothing further from you then I would say have fun with the $4,800. But if they contact you back and say that the $4,800 was a mistake, or that you have to pay them to cover the taxes on it, then it's a scam.

If you have questions, talk to your bank. They have the technology to verify the check. They will probably make a few phone calls to the alleged issuing bank. They may even ask you to deposit the check, then place an extended hold on it while it goes through the system.

Sub: Sweepstakes Audit Bureau, it is fruad, they need to be dealt with.?
Sorry , I thought this was a question that everyone was responding to. These letters are sent with the intent of extorting money claiming folks are winners. 12 M in funds and each person may have a piece of it. For a fee ($5.00) five dollars they will research to see.

Any time you get a notice of winning a sweepstakes that you did not enter it is a FRAUD.~
Reply:Of course, it is fraud.
The issue is where the mail comes from. If you are in the US, our agencies don't always have the authority or jurisdiction for things that might originate in Nigeria, etc. It is the internet.. and it is not limited to US law.

If someone wins the lottery or sweepstakes, why would they choose...?
Why would they choose the larger lump sum over periodic payouts?
For example, in a recent contest, the winner can choose between a lump sum payout of approximately $3.7 million or yearly payouts of $250,000 equaling a total of $7.3 million. Why would anyone choose less money?
If someone wins the lottery or sweepstakes, why would they choose...?
I would chose probably payout depends on the amount of money involved. If it was less than 2 million I'd chose payout all in one sum. If it was more than yearly I could live great on it for the rest of my life.
Reply:There are companies that will buyout a an annual payment plan for an amount higher than the lump sum and lower than the total annual payments. In your above example, the company would pay $6 million to the contest winner. It would benefit both; The company would make $1.3 million (over time) while the contest winner will receive $2.3 million more than the lump sum.
To answer your question: In your example above, it would take about 30 years to receive $7.3 million and about 15 years to receive $3.7 million. If a person is 50+ years old, I don't think they'd want to wait long to receive/enjoy their money. A younger person may choose the annual payments. A friend told me they'd choose the annual payments to they don't spend it all at once.
Another aspect: The value (or purchasing power) of cash decreases with time. Basically, you can purchase more with $3.7 million in 2008 than you can with $3.7 million in 2023. With this in mind, you can invest part of that $3.7 million in 2008 and have far more than the $7.3 million in 2038.
I hope this gives you some insight.
Reply:i think that if they do payouts and something was to happen to them,the money couldnt go to anyone not even their family,so they would be losing out.

Recently entering a lot of sweepstakes,getting a ton of e-mail saying I've won.How do I know whats bogus?
Were they sweepstakes from a well-known company like Nestle or Whirlpool? Unfortunately most of the sweepstakes online are scams. Please do not give them any of your personal information. If they ask for you bank account, credit card number, social security number, et cetera, then it is definitely a scam, and they just want to rip you off. If you've given out your email address in a lot of different places, you might even have to get a new one because of the amount of spam you'll receive.
Recently entering a lot of sweepstakes,getting a ton of e-mail saying I've won.How do I know whats bogus?
Did you keep track of what sweepstakes you've entered? If you get an email that requires you to submit too much personal info, it's probably a scam. You can also request more information about the company and official rules from the sender of email. Check with better buiseness bureau to check on the company.

Reply:Scam operators — often based in Canada — are using the telephone and direct mail to entice U.S. consumers to buy chances in high-stakes foreign lotteries from as far away as Australia and Europe. These lottery solicitations violate U.S. law, which prohibits the cross-border sale or purchase of lottery tickets by phone or mail.
Still, federal law enforcement authorities are intercepting and destroying millions of foreign lottery mailings sent or delivered by the truckload into the U.S. And consumers, lured by prospects of instant wealth, are responding to the solicitations that do get through — to the tune of $120 million a year, according to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, says most promotions for foreign lotteries are likely to be phony. Many scam operators don’t even buy the promised lottery tickets. Others buy some tickets, but keep the “winnings” for themselves. In addition, lottery hustlers use victims’ bank account numbers to make unauthorized withdrawals or their credit card numbers to run up additional charges.
The FTC has these words of caution for consumers who are thinking about responding to a foreign lottery:
* If you play a foreign lottery — through the mail or over the telephone — you’re violating federal law.
* There are no secret systems for winning foreign lotteries. Your chances of winning more than the cost of your tickets are slim to none.
* If you purchase one foreign lottery ticket, expect many more bogus offers for lottery or investment “opportunities.” Your name will be placed on “sucker lists” that fraudulent telemarketers buy and sell.
* Keep your credit card and bank account numbers to yourself. Scam artists often ask for them during an unsolicited sales pitch.
The bottom line, according to the FTC: Ignore all mail and phone solicitations for foreign lottery promotions. If you receive what looks like lottery material from a foreign country, give it to your local postmaster.
The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261.

Reply:A friend of mine has been doing these contest over ten years and is really sucked into it. Everybody is telling her to stop but she thinks that she's gonna win some day. I truly believe its all a hoxe. Before you soak in hundreds of dollars, think twice. I can't tell you what to do, only to hope you make the right desission, and good luck... Dr Checko... (Nickname)
Reply:I think they are all bogus they all want something in return , they ask you to at least feel out a credit card application from their sponsers and so forth.If you must fill out sweepstakes I'd stick to Publishers Clearing House but I myself am a sceptic of all of them.

Reply:They are all bogus!
Reply:Ask yourself: "Did I enter into this sweepstake?"
Reply:if you really did win something you would have gotten a phone call i would disregard the emails and put them under spam emails. that way you do not get more of these emails saying that you won thing when you didn't win a thing. i use to do the same thing and enter to win stuff on the net and it told me the same thing that i won stuff i just needed to fill out a form and it would be mine, when really they were taking me for a loop so the best thing i can say is do not believe these emails because they are not true. if you think it is not real then 90% of the time it is not. so don't get your hops up on things and remember if you really did win they will call you.

D Wade out for the season, is this the next step in the Michael Beasly sweepstakes?
That is their likely goal, but Basketball Karma has a way of screwing over teams who do that. just ask Boston.
D Wade out for the season, is this the next step in the Michael Beasly sweepstakes?
Ah let the conspiracy theories begin. That doesnt seem to be Pat Riley's style the way he ran practice while coaching or the way he structures his teams as GM.
I guess if Marion gets shelved for flu-like symptoms we will know for sure.
Reply:im pretty sure if u are in the top of the lottery u have a really good chance of being the the top 5 picks. so either way with the depth f this draft they are gonna get a future all star. whether it be beasley ( future hall of famer calling it now.) rose, gordon, maybe love or another solid guy coming out of this draft.
Reply:This is the all most likley scenario. They are "playing" to lose and get frist draft pick, no doubt. Beasley, the heavy favored to go first, could be awesome along side Dwayne Wade. Along with marion, they could be next seasons "Big 3" in The Weak East.
Reply:duh!
Cleveland got LBJ
San Antonio got TD
Philly got A.I.
so on and so on...
TANKING THE REST OF THE SEASON!!!!
we'll know for sure when Marion decides to sit out the rest of the year.
Reply:Well yes, yes it is! But he doesn't have to work so hard because MN doesn't want Beasley and we're really Miami's main competition for the 1st. MN is going for D. Rose or that center from USC.

I received a check from Virgin Mobile USA sweepstakes?
all right is this crap or what?
i received a check in the amount of 2850
but this is real check not fake one i mean with all real numbers and signature.
So they say i won and bla bla so i am thinking should i cash this check??? or what?
what do u think?
I received a check from Virgin Mobile USA sweepstakes?
I RECEIVED THE CHECK AND LETTER AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND EMAILED THE MEDIA RELATIONS AT VIRGIN MOBILE ABOUT IT. THEY REPLIED "this is not this is not anything that Virgin Mobile USA is running. We'll be in touch with you shortly." and "I can assure you this is a bogus contest and unrelated to Virgin Mobile USA. We are currently investigating the source."
Reply:I also received a notification with the same amount with a real looking check. I deposited, but did not wire money to the "agent" because the check received may be "stopped" and then I would be out a nice chunk of change. I called the company to verify the validity of the results and am now waiting for a call.
Reply:hopefully thats right and genuine ..go ahead
Reply:If you didn't play, have your bank check it out. It's probably fake. Don't send any money to whoever sent it.
