I received a call that said I won a sweepstakes and have to attend a seminar to claim my prize. Is it a scam?

Question

Actually they told me that I've entered a sweepstakes, which I don't remember and told me I won and have to attend a seminar for 90 minutes. They offered a SUV, a 2500 cash prize , a vacation package and a name brand 32 in LCD TV. I know there are many scams, but have any of you ever attended these seminars before?

Answer 1

dont ever submit yourself to YOUVE WON etc when you know you didnt sign up for it -TOTAL SCAM one of my best friends gave into that and lost money because the company had asked for personal information (credit card numbers) and they just took it  

Answer 2

Total scam.  Don't go.  They will try and sell you something and you will not get a prize.

Answer 3

It's too good to be true!

Answer 4

It is a scam, probably to get you to sit in on a time-share sell-a-thon.   Don't go.

Answer 5

I have attended. they wanted me to purchase a time share i also did get a prize. a 3 in black and white tv lol a far stretch from the 60 in if i would have made the purchase. (up yours trendswest) sorry i had to let it out

Answer 6

Well If you dont remember entering, then most likely its a scam.  As for the prizes, i find it highly scam-ish that by attending a 90-minute seminar (subject of which is unknown) to get awesome prizes is highly unlikely.

Answer 7

Yes

Scam!
