First off, all of you that are writing about your unfortunate experiance with sweepsteaks clearing house, don't bother to list there contact info but you claim you have called them several times. Others need to know how to contact them to resolve there issues, or at least attemp to.

I got a phone call from a lady friend who received a letter with the $400.00 coupon for a laptop or table top pc.
I asked her if there was a company phone number and she said no. Thats your first clue of possable fraud.
I asked if there was a website? No go. Thats your second clue.
I happen to be sitting infront of my pc and told her to hang on a minute.
I only put in the search bar Sweepsteaks Clearing house and WHAMM!
Nothing but rows and rows of fraudulant complaints, including on BBB.
As the old saying goes; If one person calls you a jack#$^%$ paying him no mind. If two people call you one then consider your future.
If 3 call you one then buy yourself a saddle.
There is so many complaints about this company I can not beleive they are not on the national news at 6 and more so that they are still in buisness.
My suggestion is obvious: Stay away from this company.
I saved my Lady friend several hundred dollars by just taking a moment to do a little pc research.
We are human and most of us have been taken one way or other, including myself but human nature makes us hope for and desire the deal of the century. We can't help ourselves or pass up a sale. Myself, I now try to investigate any - to good to be true - opertunities, Before I jump in and send cash.
I do alot of selling on eBay and you have alot of scams going on there as well but you do have some protection.
Any company that refuses to give you contact info or customer support has something to hide.
I hope my information helps some of you get your problems with this company solved. Have a nice Easter!
