Sweepstakes Fraud Factsheet

The Fine Print

Note the following:

• You will be purchasing an item.
• There are 10 big-ticket items listed, and three of each are available;  there are five million auto-scan radios available.  That means that your odds of getting anything but an auto-scan radio are about 166,000 to 1.
• Relatively few people will have the energy to send the merchandise back and try to get a refund.
• This is a sneaky way to sell a whole bunch of cheap radios at an inflated price.
• Oh, and look... your name will be made available to other "reputable companies"... sucker!
