Sweepstakes Clearinghouse sent me a Notice on yellow paper that looks official. Were I a moron, I might have followed their instructions stating I would win a Television Set if I merely sent $47.96 within 14 days for payment of Shipping and Handling. Sounds good doesn't it? A TV for less than 50 bucks.
That is until you consider the TV is actually a Black and White 5 inch television. Likely to recieve no reception. The Customer service rep said it was a Memorex, and the going rate for said memorex is 44 dollars. For a package that small it is around 10 dollars to ship so your truthfully paying nearly full price for the TV. But most TV's fitting the specs of our "Free Gift" you see a price of 15-20 dollars. With a 10 dollar shipping charge you are paying 35 dollars for "Handling". What is handling? Handling is anything the holding company wishes it to be.
Usually a sly way of charging you for free items. Anyway, This is a complete ripoff. Everything about Sweepstakes Clearinghouse seems to revolve around rip offs and scams. Anyway, I have read a small amount of Positive comments on them, some say they are good for buying things on layaway. But most say that they got ripped off in the process. Trust this company at your own risk.
