N.M.E - Patt Haines Sweepstakes ripoff Clearwater Florida
I've been receiving these notices from Patt Haines regarding a $25,000.00 sweepstakes.
The letter states as follows:
Second Notice
N.M.E
16120 U.S. 19 North
Clearwater, FL. 33764
"Better Homes and Gardens"
Dear "Name",
We have been trying to reach you regarding your $25k sweepstakes ID #604217859.
Please call us at the above number. this is a free call.
Sincerely - Pat Haines, Sales Representative.
Expiration Notice: We must hear from you by the deadline on the front of this mailer, otherwise your ID number will expire.
What I would like to know is whom are these people, why and how did they obtain my name and address which information is private. I am just frustrated on receiving these letter's leading me on into thinking I actually won or have that they have that kind of prize money waiting for me at the other end of the line. This is my second notice I have recieved from them and my parents nearly failed for it when they read the letter.

Con Artist? No way...

This is a lagit company sir, with a real sweepstakes.... If you would of called and told them you didn't want to receive any more notices, we would of taken you off the list... You "assume" con artists because your tired of getting these notices? Wow... that's a huge assumption and accusation... Let's tell the truth about it... Your very own credit card company sells your information worldwide so if you want to take it up with someone, take it up with them... In all honesty, even con artists can access this information, but I assure you we're not... The note clearly states, "no purchase or payment necessary," and from that point, you just call in, and register for the sweepstakes... There is a sales pitch, but you can decline it, there are marketing tools in line to convince you, but after a few no's we let you go and enter you in the sweepstakes... THe way out program is set is, if we wanted to be spiteful because you didn't buy, "NOT" entering you into the sweepstakes would hurt us because each call is registered and when someone hangs up, it affects our pay, so we HAVE to get your sweepstakes I.D. number put into the system so it doesn't affect us... so when callers refuse or hang up b4 giving the number, we're in trouble so no matte rwhat, as long as you've given your i.d. number, you're in the sweepstakes... Lagit, yes it is... Con Artists?? No we are not...
