Just received a letter from RD claiming that I qualified as one of the few who is eligible to be the winner of their 200k sweepstakes prize.
And they will be sending me some stuff later on that I need to reply bla bla bla..
if I win, they will arrange for limousine pick up at my home for a lavish 5 star hotel lunch paid by RD, should I agree so.
Oh well... it did look good. Good enough to attract suspicion ^^
Went for a quick search and apparently:
1. Yes.. they do have sweepstakes that offer prizes as they promised
2. But so many people have been 'lured' into subscribing to the magazine somewhere during the process of receiving and replying their letters in order to win the sweepstakes.
So.. since they do have genuine prize to be given, you wouldn't call it a scam. But it's quite crappy, honestly.
I didn't know that this magazine use such a marketing gimmick to attract subscription.
What a shame.
Having said that.. I wonder.. should I play along then?
