excerpt from FTC CONSUMER ALERT
A Dozen Ways to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it?s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:
1.Legitimate sweepstakes don?t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.
If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it?s not a prize at all.

A company that says I was chose as a prize winner. However, I could barely understand the non-English speaking operator. AMAZING prizes with absolutely NO strings attached. I'm not sure. I don't remember filling out ANY entry form. Too odd for me.
