Contest America Publishers - Opportunities Unlimited Publications Scam Artists Targeting Senior Citizens for Ripoffs! Kansas City Missouri
These companies, who ARE NOT legal entities in the state of Missouri, are targeting senior citizens for their scam. They claim to be having a contest for which you play 3 games in each round at $5.00 each. Once you have submitted the first three, they will mail you 5-6 DIFFERENT games to play per day (at $5.00 each). They claim that each game can win you $7,000.00, $14,000, or $21,000.00.
It will cost you $45.00 PER GAME for the first round (they forgot to tell you anbout the tiebreaker handling charges) plus at least at 2 laterpoints in each contest, you will be given the opportunity to compete at $10-$30 per game. The also state that there is a fee to compete of $225.00. Did you get your calculator out yet?
81% of contestants will get to submit additional money for the first tiebreaker; but only 24% will get to play for the second; less than 2% are expected to submit scores high enough to even play the 3rd and fourth tiebreakers. And you thought you were done adding. Here is a helpful tip for all of your readers who receive these 5-6 mailings per day EVERYDAY! Write the word "REFUSED" on the envelope and give it right back to the mailman.
