Have you ever put your name for car sweepstakes in nj malls and get scamed?

I was walking in a mall in NJ where I saw a sweepstake for a car. I put my details and they called me to say that I win a 500$ gift card and timeshare vacation.


I went to their office in new jersey and after long hour talk, I find myself signing a non-cancellable contract with them and I have to pay for $2500 and $300 yearly fees for the timeshare vacation that I never wanted. They have good way in interviewing that you find yourself misled and you cannot cancel the contract. Does this happen to anyone before?

I don't know about NJ but in California we have the same things our malls. From what I heard they take the cards you fill out to put you on a mailing list to send you all kind of junk mails.

You should contact the NJ Attorney Generals office and file any complaint forms necessary.


You should not have signed any papers to begin with,you should have walked away as soon as they told you that you had to pay those fees. A non-cancelable contract might be illegal and you might even have to take legal action to get your money back.
Reply:Look, some Sweepstakes are real, most are scams.


There is a very easy way to tell the two apart: NEVER SEND ANY MONEY. Never sign anything.


Very easy no?


This one pays members regular money for Reviews and I get to enter Sweepstakes every month just for being a member
