I entered a video contest that the company "$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain" held
to find a new Spokesperson.
After the contest ended, I received a email
telling me that I had won the contest and for me to email them all my personal information so I can receive the $1000 prize.
Of course, I was extremely
excited about the $1000 prize that I had won and sent my information to them quickly.
A few days later I received another email from "$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain".
This email was in a completely different tone and a bit rude. They wrote in this
email that I had now not won the contest because they had only received one entry (mine) so the
contest was canceled for that month and that their first message about me winning was a mistake. To go from thinking I had won $1000 to not winning is quite devastating. I never even received an apology for their mistake. This was back in November 2009. The company then told me that they would hold another Spokesperson contest in December 2009 and my video
would be entered. It is now February 2010 and they never held another
Spokesperson contest. I have emailed them numerous times and never get a reply.
I just want to warn others about "$49.95 Any Sewer or Drain". I believe their
contest was just a ploy to get free videos and promotion. I am also worried now about the fact that they have all my personal information (that they requested after claiming I won the contest) BEWARE!
