Great American Baby Photo Contest SCAM SCAM SCAM Owing Mills, Maryland
I received this letter in the mail claiming that my daughters photo, which was entered into a photo contest, was chosen to be in the marvelous book. It was very well done and I even did a check on the BBB website and a general scan on the internet and nothing popped up at all. I thought I had covered all my bases and it looked legit. (This was in 2008).
So after doing my homework, I thought this sounded legit. My husband and I were very excited. We sent the check to reserve our 3 copies. Well here we are, almost 2011 and still no books. And yes I tried to call, no such luck. I tried to write a letter, it got returned. So I'm out almost $200. An expensive lesson learned.

Actually, EVERY baby that had their photo entered received that same letter. These 'contests' are nothing more than a sales pitch for a book full of photos. Whether it be baby photos, scenery photos or model pose photos. Everyone's a winner....... and a loser.
The profit margin on these photo books is obscene.
