That's the other thing! There are so many scams around, taking advantage of people in need! Just this week, I read about a site that has baby picture contests. They give away a price each month for the winner. I think its $500, and the one that won, was thanks to the help of a group I know: everybody was voting for her... well, time to get the price, turns out that they had erased all info from the site, there is no tracks of who is the owner of the picture, but they still have the picture showing on their site as the winner for the month of september. Oh, I forgot to mention that there is a $15 application fee to upload the picture for the contest... There were 81 participants for the month, and the winner never got paid and can't access the site with her original registration information... So careful out there!
