How do I not get these? This looks like a very pretty scam or phishing attempt to me.

Click on it and it wants me to donate money to enter but rules say you don't need to contribute to enter. There is a "free" entry method but you gotta mail in a request (and hope it gets there), wait for it to be mailed back (and hope it comes back in the stamped envelope you mailed them so free? not so much) then call a number to finalize your entry... and it took me a while to find the free option, it's not on the page that's wanting your money, it's on a page linked from the very bottom of that "entry" page....

 

Who is it from?

 

It says it's from this forum... logo and everything. I'll see if I can recover the email, I had deleted it but I think gmail has a copy of it.

Look familiar? If it's not yours might want to blast to members that someone is scamming forum members.

Hovering over the link that supposedly takes you to the rules shows that the link would actually take you to another site that not that dreamgiveaway.com

Typing in the dreamgiveaway URL into my browser takes me to a site that has rules for various contests but I don't see one is for the an RV and Jeep.

Looks fishy to me.

 

Yeah, wanted to give the forum admins a head's up in case they want to email blast members to let them know it's not endorsed by the Dodge forum...
