frustratedpilotHey.
Dad got an envelope in the mail from one "Sweepstakes Clearinghouse" which had a bunch of official-looking check-like documents and such in it. Even before opening it, I had my doubts about it being kosher. Well, it turns out the company is a dubious mail-order business out of Texas. They make you think you won something in order to make you want to buy it, and often (according to consumer complaint sites around the Internet--and real State government sources!) they fail to deliver what was promised. This is no way for a legitimate business to operate.
