Complaint Review: Sweepstakes Clearinghouse

i recieved a mail on the 5th of november congratulating me on my consolation prizes that i had won,in the note i received six different checks with an amount of four hundred dollars written on each. it stated that all i had to do was pick any item i wanted and all i had to do was pay off the remaining amount on the item i choose.

i decided to go along with an ibm laptop i wanted because that was the only thing i need. since my balance was over $200 as stated in the note i had to pay a deposit of $25 down and $25 every month, i sounded really cool to me so i decided to sign up. i sent in a check of $25 the next morning and that was the last i heard from the company, no laptop no money back. the $25 has been withdrawn from my account.

i think this is really mean and very bad of people that are actually doing this. i hope the get caught and are punished for their uncivilized behaviours, making money off innocent citizens like me.
