Sweepstakes Clearing House  |
| |
| I've received 6 x $400 credit vouchers in the mail today from Sweepstakes Clearing House for a home stereo, digital camcorder, Dell desktop computer, watch set, Dell laptop and 5 pc luggage set. All is required of me is to send in the vouchers along with the total balance owing on the items above for e.g. the desktop computer costs is $699.95. By using the $400 credit voucher, all i have to pay is the remaining balance of $299.95. I'm sure this is too good to be true! Has anyone else received anything like this in the mail? If so, are these for real or is this some kind of scam? | | | | | |

| | No, I haven't received anything like that, but I wanted to ask you, did you enter, or ever do business with these people? If not, then it's probably some kind of scam. If your really worried, you can call the better business bureau, or try the attorney generals office in your state, to see if there has been complaints. I think they can tell you if it is legitimate, too but not sure. But if it is... Congratulations! | | | | | | |

| | yes, the discounts are real, and show a retail value minus this 400.00 credit, most of the products are refurbished which adds to the savings and some are items that are bought from manufactures overstocked warehouses, heartland usa is another company that sells overstocked and refurbished products... | | | |

| | My mother has been dealing with these people since I was around 5yrs. old and I've been dealing with them since I was 22. We have gotten everything we paid for and the warranty on the was was good also because she had returned a couple of things and what she didn't get replaced she got refunded in full of what she paid. | | | |

| | I have used the Sweepstakes Clearinghouse Vouchers off and on for about 6 years. Yes, I have used the vouchers and have taken advantage of a number of items that came with the vouchers. This company is alright. You have to put in your own security system in the computers, but you have to do that with all of new computers that you buy anywhere. I would recommend anyone who needs any of the items offered in the vouchers to take advantage of those voucher discounts. Sandy_L | | | |

| | yes, I have done business with sweepstakes clearinghouse for years ans have never been unhappy with them. It is like getting a layaway plan. So i can afford to get large items at affordable prices. | | | |

| | I get them all the time and they are not a good deal! They jack up the prices so in the end you are paying the normal price for the item! Don't buy into it!! | | | | | | |

| | I just got this same thing in the mail and I was interested in the digital camcorder so I went online to try to find more information about it. I went to Popular Photography Magazine's websote (the magazine they say the camera is featured in) and could not find it, the search for DVC found nothing, and upon closely examining the photo of the camera I couldn't find a single logo which is odd to me. Then I searched "Sweepstakes Clearinghouse Digital Camera" and found your discussion as well as two interesting links claiming this to be a scam, which does not suprise me at all. http://www.homesfeornh.co... This first link is a bit outdated (2005) so the prices and some other small details are a little different but it is otherwise the same crap. http://www.ripoffreport.c... This guy is a little hard to follow but he was definately recently ripped off by this scam. | | | | | | |

| | It's a fraud. I've received them many times. The cost of the products are marked up by $400. So the credit voucher is basically useless. Another thing is that the computers are all outdated, most still using versions of windows 98. And they come with very little memory. I think at $299.95 they are overpriced. Just my opinion.

| | It's a nasty fraud. I did them one better though. I stuffed as much junk mail as I could, with no personal info on it, right back into their PREPAID return envelope. It ended up weighing about 4 ounces. And I sealed it with 2 layers of packing tape, cuz it bulged so much. So they have to pay a non-machinable surcharge, too! That was really fun. | | | |

| | You're very welcome. As a matter of fact I'm waiting for 2 more items from them. The checks haven't been cashed yet but I bought a bed from them over 8 years age and it is still in excellent condition. Good luck to you. If you do order I hope you have as good of an experience as I have had. They are a bit slow so be patient. | | | |

| | I agree the products may be worthy. I've compared prices. But, I'm wondering why the company wouldn't just put out a product catalog rather than telling folks they've won a prize or they're giving something away free. The way they're conducting business is in violation of many states laws consumer protection laws. | | | |

| | This is a marketing company that is selling their merchandise rather than giving away a winning prize. It might be considered a scam as you say because you DID NOT enter a sweepstakes drawing with them, the company is in violation of several states sweepstakes/contest laws and/or with the voucher YOU ARE purchasing the item at, near or over retail price. I received this in my mail this week also and I am preparing a letter to my state's Attorney General after finding that the state of Iowa ordered the company to pay $90,000 and comply with state consumer protection law for violating their state prize promotion law. I'm continuing to research this for my letter/complaint; but yes, it IS too good to be true. | | | | | | |

| | Well my mother just received vouchers yesterday and I wsanted to do some research and thank GOD I found this site and another site that is called rip off. Well the laptops are old and it mentions that it is refurbished. I was a few steps away from sealing the envelope and putting a stamp on it. There has been other items my mother received which were jewlery and they were ok, but that was without the crazy vouchers. | | | |

| | I received their offers and ordered the RCA Stereo/3 cd/dual tape. This was almost 10 years ago and the stereo is still operating fine. If your not looking for something that is going to blast out the block it was a pretty good deal. You just have to do your homework and pay attention to the wording. If you do order something, keep the offer paperwork and pay attention to your next few mailings..sometimes they offer the same item at a lower price and if you contact them and fax them both offers you can get it at the lower price...I did. | | | |

| | I was wondering have any of you ever entered in publishers clearinghouse? I never recieved these vouchers until i entered their contest. I think these people are trying to trick people into thinking they are part of publishers clearinghouse. The letter they sent me was trying to say the vouchers were a consolation prize for not wining the $10,000 grand prize that publishers was offering. | | | |

| | I have been receiving their mailers for years and have purchased from them. I bought a grandfather clock which I absolutely love, and a stereo system. I have had them both for about six years and have not had a problem. I do think however, that I will stop while I'm ahead. Good luck! | | | |

| | I must say, i am stumped, This is somtthing new to me. I have been doing business with sch for about 3 years now, never a problem until now! I just received a Request for Action Program form, About the Omni-2 Digital Camera with all it's accessories included. I responded to the offer, nothing yet, after viewing their web-site, i am now convinced that they are a shady group of people. I wil give them a call in the morning and demand my money back, or else!!!!!!. | | | |

| | I just got off the phone with these very rude people, I had been calling the (214)915-7100 number for a week and everytime it said please hold for a customer rep and then you get a busy signal. I went on the Dallas BBB website and got a different number 1-800-762-3302 and after holding for 10 minutes, a very nasty man answered and when I told him I had been trying to contact them for a week he said "It's our busy season" (to rip people off) I had put the dell computer on layaway, I told him I was very leary about sending in the balance as I had read many bad things about them and his response was "OH"-My bad for not checking them out first,as I have already given them $156.00 and believe it's going to be a battle getting my money back!!!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!! If any one is having trouble contacting these rip-off artists-go to the Dallas BBB website and there are several different numbers listed, Dallas BBB gave them a F, and have had several complaints, I feel like a fool giving these people my hard earned money-Lesson learned!!!! | | | |
