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.


In fraudulent schemes, however, "winners" almost always have to dip into their pockets to enter a contest or collect their "prize."

Prize Offers: You Don’t Have to Pay to Play!

Congratulations, it’s your lucky day! You’ve just won $5,000!

You’re guaranteed to win a fabulous diamond ring, luxury vacation or all-terrain vehicle!
If you receive a letter or phone call with a message like this, be skeptical. The $5,000 "prize" may cost you hundreds of dollars in taxes or service charges — and never arrive.

Your "fabulous" prize may not be worth collecting. The diamond is likely to be the size of a pinhead. The "vacation" could be one night in a seedy motel, and the ATV, nothing more than a lounge chair on wheels!


Scam artists often use the promise of a valuable prize or award to entice consumers to send money, buy overpriced products or services, or contribute to bogus charities.

People who fall for their ploys may end up paying far more than their "prizes" are worth, if they get a prize at all.

What these people are likely to get - especially if they signed up for a contest drawing at a public place or event — may be more than they bargained for: more promotions in the mail, more telemarketing calls and more unsolicited commercial email, or "spam." This is because many prize promoters sell the information they collect to advertisers.


Worse yet, contest entrants might subject themselves to a bogus prize promotion scam.

And The Winner Is...

Everyone loves to be a winner. A recent research poll showed that more than half of all American adults entered sweepstakes within the past year. Most of these contests were run by reputable marketers and non-profit organizations to promote their products and services. Some lucky winners received millions of dollars or valuable prizes.
Capitalizing on the popularity of these offers, some con artists disguise their schemes to look legitimate. And an alarming number of people take the bait. Every day, consumers throughout the United States lose thousands of dollars to unscrupulous prize promoters. During 1999 alone, the Federal Trade Commission received more than 10,000 complaints from consumers about gifts, sweepstakes and prize promotions. Many received telephone calls or postcards telling them they'd won a big prize - only to find out that to claim it, they had to buy something or pay as much as $10,000 in fees or other charges.

There's a big difference between legitimate sweepstakes and fraudulent ones. Prizes in legitimate contests are awarded solely by chance, and contestants don't have to pay a fee or buy something to enter or increase their odds of winning. In fraudulent schemes, however, "winners" almost always have to dip into their pockets to enter a contest or collect their "prize."
Skill Contests
There's one notable exception: skill contests. These are puzzles, games or other contests in which prizes are awarded based on skill, knowledge or talent - not on chance. Contestants might be required to write a jingle, solve a puzzle or answer questions correctly to win.
Unlike sweepstakes, skill contests may legally require contestants to buy something or make a payment or donation to enter.
It's important to recognize that many consumers are deceptively lured into playing skill contests by easy initial questions or puzzles. Once they've sent their money and become "hooked," the questions get harder and the entry fees get steeper. Entrants in these contests rarely receive anything for their money and effort.
Consumer Protections
Several consumer laws help protect consumers against fraudulent sweepstakes and prize offers promoted through the mail or by phone.
Telephone Solicitations
Telemarketers frequently use sweepstakes and prize contests to sell magazines or other goods and services. These telemarketers make an initial contact with consumers through "cold calls," or take calls from consumers who are responding to a solicitation they received by mail.
The Telemarketing Sales Rule helps protect consumers from fraudulent telemarketers who use prize promotions as a lure. In every telemarketing call involving a prize promotion, the law requires telemarketers to tell you:
    the odds of winning a prize. If the odds can't be determined in advance, the promoter must tell you the factors used to calculate the odds.
    that you don't have to pay a fee or buy something to win a prize or participate in the promotion.
    if you ask, how to participate in the contest without buying or paying anything.
    what you'll have to pay or the conditions you'll have to meet to receive or redeem a prize.
The Telemarketing Sales Rule prohibits telemarketers from misrepresenting any of these facts, as well as the nature or value of the prizes. It also requires telemarketers who call you to pitch a prize promotion to tell you before they describe the prize that you don't have to buy or pay anything to enter or win.
Written Solicitations
Many sweepstakes promotions arrive by mail as a letter or postcard that instructs the consumer to respond by return mail or phone to enter a contest or collect a prize.
The Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act helps protect consumers against fraudulent sweepstakes promotions sent through the mail. The law prohibits:
    claims that you're a winner unless you've actually won a prize.
    requirements that you buy something to enter the contest or to receive future sweepstakes mailings.
    the mailing of fake checks that don't clearly state that they are non-negotiable and have no cash value.
    seals, names or terms that imply an affilia-tion with or endorsement by the federal government.
Skill Contests
Skill contests also are covered by the new Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act. The law requires the sponsors to disclose in a clear and conspicuous way:
    the terms, rules and conditions of the contest.
    how many rounds of the contest you must achieve to win the grand prize.
    the time frame for the winner to be determined.
    the name of the contest's sponsor.
    an address where you can reach the sponsor to request that your name be removed from the mailing list.
Just Say "No"
Another way to protect yourself is to request that your name be removed from mail and telephone solicitation lists.
The Telemarketing Sales Rule requires telemarketers to keep a "do not call" list of consumers who have asked not to be called again. Calling a consumer who has made this request is illegal and can subject the telemarketer to a hefty fine.
The Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act requires companies that use direct mail to maintain a similar "do not mail" list for consumers who call or write and ask that their name be removed from the mailing list.
This new law gives caregivers the right to have the names of the friends and loved ones under their care removed from the mailing lists of undesirable solicitors.
Another way to reduce mail and telephone solicitations is to contact the Direct Marketing Association to request that your name be placed on its "do not call," "do not mail" and "do not email" lists. Association members agree not to solicit consumers who have requested that they not be contacted.
To have your name removed from direct mail marketing lists, write: Direct Marketing Association, Preference Service Manager, 1120 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036-6700. To have your name removed from telemarketing lists, write: Direct Marketing Association, Preference Service Manager, 1120 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036-6700. To "opt out" of receiving unsolicited commercial email, use the DMA's form at www.e-mps.org.
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.
2.    Sponsors of legitimate contests identify themselves prominently; fraudulent promoters are more likely to downplay their identities. Legitimate promoters also provide you with an address or toll-free phone numbers so you can ask that your name be removed from their mailing list.
3.    Bona fide offers clearly disclose the terms and conditions of the promotion in plain English, including rules, entry procedures, and usually, the odds of winning.
4.    It’s highly unlikely that you’ve won a "big" prize if your notification was mailed by bulk rate. Check the postmark on the envelope or postcard. Also be suspicious of telemarketers who say you’ve won a contest you can’t remember entering.
5.    Fraudulent promoters might instruct you to send a check or money order by overnight delivery or courier to enter a contest or claim your "prize." This is a favorite ploy for con artists because it lets them take your money fast, before you realize you’ve been cheated.
6.    Disreputable companies sometimes use a variation of an official or nationally recognized name to give you confidence in their offers. Don’t be deceived by these "look-alikes." It’s illegal for a promoter to misrepresent an affiliation with — or an endorsement by — a government agency or other well-known organization.
7.    It’s important to read any written solicitation you receive carefully. Pay particularly close attention to the fine print. Remember the old adage that "the devil is in the details."
8.    Agreeing to attend a sales meeting just to win an "expensive" prize is likely to subject you to a high-pressure sales pitch.
9.    Signing up for a sweepstakes at a public location or event, through a publication or online might subject you to unscrupulous prize promotion tactics. You also might run the risk of having your personal information sold or shared with other marketers who later deluge you with offers and advertising.
10.    Some contest promoters use a toll-free "800" number that directs you to dial a pay-per-call "900" number. Charges for calls to "900" numbers may be very high.
11.    Disclosing your checking account or credit card account number over the phone in response to a sweepstakes promotion — or for any reason other than to buy the product or service being sold — is a sure-fire way to get scammed in the future.
12.    Your local Better Business Bureau and your state or local consumer protection office can help you check out a sweepstakes promoter’s reputation. Be aware, however, that many questionable prize promotion companies don’t stay in one place long enough to establish a track record, and the absence of complaints doesn’t necessarily mean the offer is legitimate.
To File a Complaint
Consumers who believe they have been victimized by fraudulent promotional offers also should contact their local postmaster or the U.S. Postal Inspection Service by phone, toll-free, at: 1-888-877-7644; by email at: www.uspsoig.gov; or by mail at: U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Office of Inspector General, Operations Support Group, 222 S. Riverside Plaza, Suite 1250, Chicago, IL 60606-6100.
If you have a problem with a sweepstakes or prize promotion after participating, and you are unable to resolve the problem directly with the company, contact:
    The Direct Marketing Association, ConsumerLine, 1111 19th Street, NW, Suite 1100, Washington, DC 20036-3603; phone 202-955-5030; fax 202-955-0085.
    The Better Business Bureau where the company is located.

So after a week or so I spoke to Rich Levens from We Travel America. Rich told me I won a trip from entering a contest at the Cleveland golf show. So I entertained myself with this for a little while. Rich said they are out of Clearwater, FL and his ID number is 3567. He said me and another person could go to FL and to 3 other places all this, which I was out of 3,800 entries I was one of 30 pulled. So all of that I can get for $398 paid right now. Visa, MC, AmEx, Discover is accepted. So after saying to Rich I wanted to look it over, he said it was a "one time offer" and he could only call once because of his "checklist". So he gave me the customer service number 1-888-211-0675 and the website wetouramerica.com. And Rich was so nice to give me his cell phone number...727-230-8760. Eff this guy and his company. Yeah I entered a contest and won a big pain in the ass.

This is a reputable company. My wife and I had the most fun on this vacation than we have had in years!!!!! How can you slam something that you have never gone on?  I have nothing but praise for this company. Lisa Gentry put us in the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Rich sold us the vacation, and I for one am grateful!!!!! THANK YOU

I signed up for a sweepstakes at a fair, and someone at this phone number called me today. I had already thought something was up because there were no signs indicating who was running the booth at the fair, which was pretty suspicious, but I figured that my address was public record and there were door prizes, and my inhibitions were a little low at the time. But when they called today, I was immediately suspicious, and told them to call me back in half an hour. It's been about fifty minutes now and they haven't called back yet, so I am hoping that they have already given up because of my lack of excitement.

Who would want to vacation in Florida anyways?

i got the same call I was at a bike ride and I just got a call about 1 hour ago and they asked all the same things

rec'c a call for this number - i wish they would stop calling

I got a call today, missed the call and returned the call.  They asked me if I was at a Bike Show in Indiana last weekend.  I said "no" but I was at one in Illinois.   Well, what is your last name.  I refused to give it to them and they hung up.  I hope this is the last I ever hear from them.  From all the above responses they seem like they are at numerous bike shows.  Do they think bikers have "Idiot" written on their foreheads?   I like Florida but these people need to swim in Lake Okeechobee.

Received a phone at 9:45 pm

got a call for 8 days and 7 nights with a 90 minute tour for 2 adult theme park tickets for 498 cost to me that dropped to 298 cost to me but you had to book it at the time of the call or no deal. my husband said no . . . not right now and the man named Steve Anderson was annoyed and hung up after repeating the same lines again and again. sounds just like timeshare to me . . . my how lucky I am to have people calling me for money . . . NOT! caller id shows: TOURS AMERICA.C 727-230-8760

recieved several calls from this number, which comes caller's block infor.
finally I asked, I said nothing, and after about 15 seconds , they've hung up.
Not a problem until they called back within two minutes. I again pick up without saying a word and the call then says, hello, hello, no hablas english, and then hung up quickly, Some fun and games, who knows, they as annoying as anything..

A timeshare tour = scam? It's not like they're putting a gun to your head and forcing you to purchase it. Sweet doomsaying.

We got a call from this number 9-30-2010 and we have won a trip from NASCAR in Dover from Tour America for 4 days and 3 nights to Daytona but then the kicker they wanted a credit card number why would you have to give a card number for a (free trip) when they gave us the service number it didn't work here's the number 1-888-211-0675 I had called and no answer then they gave me this number which is a cell phone number for one and when we looked it up this is what we got a scam! Do not trust them or give them your credit card number. I also talked to the major of the Baltimore City Police Dept. who is a friend and he said go spend the money on yourself because when you give them your card then you'll never see it again.

Be safe they will call people who you were with....

Not a scam. They sell vacation packages at a discounted price in exchange for a timeshare tour. If you aren't interested in a vacation, just hang up the phone.

The following statement was recently posted at wetouramerica.blogspot.com:

We Tour America remains unwaveringly committed to providing an unforgettable vacation experience at a fraction of the standard cost. In the past months, we at We Tour America have taken steps to explain our business practices so that you, the consumer, has a better understanding of how this service works. This has been in response to the consumer skepticism and complaints that we've encountered on a small number of internet forums.

Now, We Tour America would like to take yet another step in resolving said complaints - We'd like for you to tell us about them. If a telemarketing agent was rude to you, if you feel that our services weren't explained clearly, or even if you'd like for a person to answer the questions that we've answered on this very blog rather than trusting the text published here, please contact us:

Lisa Gentry
lisagent@tampabay.rr.com
(866) 418-2665

Give us a detailed account of the instance in question: name, date, and location of the event at which the registration form was filled out and entered, name of the telemarketer as well as the approximate date and time of the call in question (if possible), along with any other details that you deem relevant. A complaint will be filed and an investigation will be conducted in order to prevent future occurrences. In some cases, the complainant may be compensated for their inconvenience.

Customer service and satisfaction are taken very seriously at We Tour America - Allow us to prove it to you.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Wow what's it like to have a job where you have to come on sites like this and try to run your "customer service"? Most people wouldn't be involved like this for any amount of money. Most people would be sick to death having a job where the had to spend all day scamming on the phone, and when sites like this makes it hard to get away with, to come on here and post this kind of crap. Really. Most people would simply not be strong enough to overcome their sense of decency and morality to do what you do.

You must be a really strong person to go on doing something day after day that would make most people physically ill. You're a real inspiration to us all! Truly amazing!

They have calle quite a few times, but they never left a message and I dont usually answer numbers I dont know. The caller ID said Tours America..

Filled ou to win a cabbella's gift card at the Cleveland Sportsman Show and he called and said I am very hard to get ahold of, really because I never saw your number before. Told me i filled out a form to win a trip, told him no I didn't filled out to win a Cabella's gift card, he said thats a new one on him have a nice life, and hung up! Be aware!
