Glad to hear those bastards at
Publishers Clearing House got slammed hard by the feds for
deception. I recall here in Florida a few years ago, this poor guy
and his family were so convinced they had won the grand prize that
they actually drove from Georgia to the co's Tampa office in florida
to collect their money only to be turned away and told.....sorry
suckers!
And I've always suspected nobody really wins the huge prizes they
boast. My guess is they make it all up and set up employees or
family members of the company's owners to act like they're the
winners. Then Ed McMahon gets another fat payout for promoting the
scam over and over again.
Think about it.....most people, probably 98%, don't buy their mag
subscriptions and just enter the sweepstakes. So how are they going
to keep coming up with those multi million dollar payouts? Fat
chance.
Oh and I forgot about the time, about 10 or 12 ago, I read in the
newspaper that the company got caught throwing out huge bags of NO
replies....the people who enter the contest but don't pay to
subscribe. Some guy found out by going through their garbage bins
and reporting it to the govt.
Some people also sued them for that fiasco but don't remember what
ever came of it.
