This evening when I returned home from work I found an "Important Delivery Letter" in my mail. Upon opening the "important letter" I find a single sheet that says:
Dear *
We are trying to reach you regarding your $1,000, 000.00
Sweepstakes ID # *. Please call us at the above number. This is a free call.
Sincerely - Pat Haines, Sales Representative
I then proceeded to call the number and give them my ID number to discover when my first check should arrive. "But we haven't had the drawing yet. There can be no winner" was the reponse that I received. After being on hold for 45 minutes, waiting to hear when my check was to arrive, I was told that it was a Sweepstakes entry. "Look on the back". I thought for sure that the front read that I was already a winner. The back is irrelevant.
This is the same company that tried to sell me magazines at a "discount rate" three times in the past two months, even after being asked to take me off their list. This evening I inquired as to the owner of the company and how they got my name and address, I was informed that I would have to send a self addressed stamped envelope to find anything out.
I may be researching telemarketing laws in my state and calling MR. Hanes at home next.
