Learn the pointers of keeping your safeguards up while still enjoying sweepstakes.<\/a><\/p>\n

Did He Really Win a BMW from a Sweepstakes?<\/h1>\n

What hit many people today is an email from Curling1, a new Sweepstakes Advantage\"sweepstakes\"<\/a> member who posted in the Winner\u2019s Circle about his alleged win from a sweepstakes that he could barely remember the name. According to Curling1, he had seen so many emails saying \u201cCongratulations\u201d that he\u2019s finding difficulty believing that he really won in any of them.<\/p>\n

Then on November 1, 2011, here comes this email about a BMW X6 sweepstakes win saying that the sweepstakes ended last October 23, 2011. The form looked like a notebook attachment (he probably meant notepad here though). These two reasons gave Curling1 the doubts that this is true. However, of course, who wouldn\u2019t want to win a BMW<\/a>, right? So our Sweepstakes Advantage member is holding on to his dreams, wishing that the email is true and that the sweepstakes win was really meant for him.<\/p>\n

Beware of Fake Sweepstakes Emails<\/h2>\n

\"sweepstakes\"<\/a>Of course, you\u2019re already aware of spam emails that horribly populate your inboxes. You may also be aware of hackers<\/a>, or those who log on to accounts that don\u2019t belong to them. If you receive an email that contains an unusual link, DON\u2019T click it. DON\u2019T try to open it unless you are sure that it is safe.<\/p>
