ReplyDeleteI entered a contest at beer festival to win a trip to Florida. (Had to chug a beer as quickly as possible.) Out of the thousands of people who entered, I won! Free airfare and hotel stay, plus $500 of extra spending money. All I had to do was pay a "small" winner's fee. A measly $2000 later, I realized it was a scam. Luckily, I cancelled all transactions. Still, the beer was pretty damn tasty.
ReplyDeleteYup! Out of money! But that's what I get for not doing any research before moving forward with my plans :/
