Scam Description
Notified that we are the winners of a BEST of LONG BEACH Pet Store award. All we would have to do it pay for the plaque or a crystal engraved award for about $250. We have our Best Of… awards here in the springtime so this was a red flag for us. As I looked on the internet I noticed that all the people who bought into this scam had the same press release article, just a change of names. There is nothing unique about this award. Scam. They give you a special code too. I wasn’t about to enter my credit card details to have someone gain that information!
