Opportunites Unlimited Publications - Contest America Publications dishonest fraudulent sweepstake ripoff North Kansas City Missouri
I have been receiving these fraudulent sweepstake entries for about two years, stating that if I answer questions and send in my form with payment that I can be a potetial winner. I have also received letters stating that I have won $3,500.00 buy if I send in this entry along with payment, they will raise the prize up to 23,500.00.
I would receive three to five letters every week. Sometimes I would borrow the money from other people to send in the money so that I may be the winner of this sweepstake. These people scammed me for $35.00 to $45.00 per letter. Some of them I have receipts for the payment and others I sent in cash.
I have fallen back on my bills because of this company, and I would like for these people to be stopped. This company has scammed me saying that I have could win from $10,000.00 up to $24,700.00 and I have not seen one red cent yet, but I have put out over $10,000 within the last two years.

I found nothing under Contest America Publications. M.R.S. Service Corp. is a registered agent for an entire list of businesses. Contest America is not listed with them, either. The latest Annual Corporation report indicates Joseph H. Lawson is President and Barry W. Downey is Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. The only address listed is the one you have.
You can search to see if a business is registered with the state of Missouri on the MO Secretary of State website: www.sos.mo.gov
