Scam Description
Received an email stating we were being giving an aware for “Winner for the 2022 Best of Olympia Awards in the category of Game Store”. It seemed unlikely, but it made me happy thinking about all the hard work we’ve put in. However, I am a skeptic and by the end of the email I knew it was a scam, because they asked us to pay for the award. Remember folks, the only thing a winner has to pay is taxes.
