Missing Prize Winners

from the love-those-online-sweepstakes dept

Here’s an amusing story. It seems that an online marketing company had a problem giving out their $10,000 prize. The first two people they emailed as winners never replied. The company couldn’t figure out any other way to contact the winners, and so moved on to another attempt. The third winner responded. Chances are that the winners used fake email addresses, or had the winning email filtered out by a spam filter.
