Scam Description
I answered 4 questions for chance to win a Stanley 40 oz tumbler, had 3 chances to pick a winning box, picked a winner, said I could get it for $4.99 S/H, I entered my information and credit card number to pay the S/H. I knew I had at the $4.99 on the card to pay for this, yet it came back declined, Like an idiot I tried again with another card and it came back declined, also so I gave up. Later when checking my email I had 2 from my credit card company asking if I recognized these purchases, told them yes, but thankfully I didn’t have enough for the $14.89 they tried to take. Went to their terms and conditions, it said it was for…NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN THIS SWEEPSTAKES. THE $14.89 PURCHASE OF ANY SERVICES HEREIN WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING. I did not order anything from them, only tried to get the “free” cup for S/H. Both cards i tried to use had 2 different merchant names..#1 June 30, 2024 DURABLE PLUMBERS VALUE $14.89 Declined…#2 June 30, 2024 STRIKINGPHOTOGRAPHYTECH $14.89 Declined. I clicked on the original link on Facebook but cannot find the post again.
