Scam Description
I received an email stating we had won an award for 2022 Best of Mesa business and there was no fee for this, however, if I wanted to buy the wall plaque or display award, I would only be paying for the award itself. It stated after all other winners had been contacted, my business would be listed as the winner on their website. When I went to their website, they are only geared toward selling the awards, there are no past winners listed anywhere, and when I attempted to search and find this so called list of winners, there is nothing on the internet as though it doesn’t exist. Many of their email addresses and contact information, goes to different url’s which is suspicious.
