What is the name of your state? tx
I received a letter from a company which read I had a chance to win xyz prizes. (they received my info since I own a bizness) I called them up 2 see what it was about. They informed me that they were a company that advertises there products thru other business. The way they get us interested in doing so is by coming up w/ contests 2 win prizes. Then they said that I had 2 purchase $XXX.XX worth of products 2 be entered. I did so.
I received my products and was entered in the drawing.
Several weeks later I received my prize & a call saying that I was also entered in a new contest. In order for me to join that one I had 2 pay $X,XXX.XX worth of products.
Seeing that the new contest contained a prize that could possible help my business grow (the contest was a cash prize ranging from $X,XXX.XX - $XX,XXX.XX) I accepted & paid them the X,XXX.XX & was entered.
As of now it seemed that they did what they said they would (except 4 a minor lie about the 1st prize I got). When I received a call about 1 month later they said that in order for me 2 be entered in the drawing 4 the cash prize. I would need 2 purchase X,XXX.XX of there products again.
This is where my question comes in. To me it seems that they lure you in to purchasing there products (which I think is over priced) by entering you in a contest (that u r guaranteed 2 win). Once you win then they lure you into purchasing a lot more of there over priced products by saying you have a chance to win another prize. I feel that I have already paid for the prize that I won and was scammed into purchasing overpriced products. Also they expect you to advertize for them on how great they r and there products.
As of now I am pretty upset @ them and want my money back & wouldn’t mind returning there products and prize that I basically paid for back to them. Do you think I will have a case if I try 2 file suits against them?
