Scam Description
I play a game on my iPad and iPhone. I have played for a few years now. Yesterday when I completed the game,they asked if I would take a survey. I took the survey and they gave me 3 chances to win an iPad pro.
I won the prize on my second selection. They asked for shipping of $5.95. I normally do not participate in these types of things, but I thought $6 was a cheap iPad Pro. I got suspicious when I got an email thanking me for my order. So I called and a foreign male answered phone and told me I didn’t win anything and I was subscribing to some kind of sweepstakes that was going to cost me $89.99 a month. I was not happy and very strongly complained. He said he canceled my subscription and my confirmation #955979. He has my information and I don’t trust or believe him. I am retired and on a fixed income and can not afford that kind of subscription. I do not participate in those kinds of things and I was scammed with a non existent prize to get my card info.
