Sweepstakes Clearinghouse debited my account for a Television Set but I orded a Camera with a Printer Ripoff Dallas Texas
I ordered a Luggage Set from Sweepstakes Clearinghouse years ago and was very pleased with it even though they charged me over $35.00 in shipping and handeling.
This paticular time I ordered the Kodak Digital Camera with Printer for 199.99. They debited my account 219.99.
A week later I received an Urgent Time Sensitive Document in the mail to reply by 10-16-05. I was told to send in $37.96 or make two payments in the amount of $18.98 and they will send out my TELEVISION SET immediately. Well I did not order a television set!
It seems very strange that once I sent Sweepstakes Clearinghouse my card information to purchase the Camera I could no longer access my bank information by phone. This experiance has opened my eyes to a lot of things.

This is in response to John Gutierrez, the operations manager of sweepstakes clearinghouse. I called the bank myself and asked them what was that $219.00 debit from my account and after researching my account it was sweepstakes clearing house that debited my account. I sent my card information to your company to purchase a camera so I thought but I have not received anything. With my card your company does have access to my account.
I also tried to call you John and I all got was a answering machine. No where on your greeting did it say you are with sweepstakes clearing house so if this is another scam please don't bother.
