Who Has Earned From Sweepstakes ?

Who has earned money from sweepstakes ? Do you click on the links, or can we trust them ? I receive many invitations to have a chance to enter and win large sums of cash from sweepstakes, but I an afraid of the "spam". Also viruses could cause serious problems for my computer. The other offers are hundreds of dollars for taking part in research studies. These are offers that I would just love to try, but don't know if it is worth my time. It could just fill my computer up with junk. What do you all think ?

I have not earned nor won from any sweepstakes activity. Remember, you will only win if you buy ticket from the authorize sweepstake outlet. Any links provided on internet about winning is not true. It's only a bogus activity. Take care of yourself and don't grab every opportunity offered especially with it comes to money. All wealth endures hard work. Only a few are fortunate to have wealth at the time they're born.

I don't touch bogus claims online even with a very pole,most are big time scam especially for Africans and tier 2 countries. One just have to be very careful and be watchful or else will get into very serious trouble.i think sweepstakes mostly work for tier 1 countries that is if there are real in the first place.

Sweepstakes are not reliable, most are just out to scam people into signing up in a site but there's no actual winner because it's fixed. It's better to join Trivias than Sweepstakes

I haven't because I don't click a link for such offers online. Many of them are scam that could possibly harm your computer and your accounts.

I haven't earned from online sweepstakes, even once. Years ago, I was very excited on joining one,hoping I'll earn even a cent from them because winning is such a great pleasure for me but it turns out to be that joining one would harm me. I'm not that aware that viruses are just around the corner back then so all I just think about is the money that I'll bought if I ever win that's why every sweepstake I'll see online, I'll just register recklessly. Then one day, one of my phone just stopped working due to the massive advertisement I'm receiving from the sweepstake site I've registered. It's just sad, but then I have learned a lesson. I'll just work hard and not depend on sweepstakes anymore.

Sorry about that some work.like my coursemate that's in the US has been winning sweepstakes and I know it's for real. I think one's demographics matters too. I know these fraudsters know these but they just want to deceive gullible people.

Same thinking. I would rather work hard rather than depend my luck on sweepstakes. Sweeptakes are way too risky to the point where it won't sometimes just get your money but also get you information and privacy which is a bit bothersome.

I find online sweepstakes a real risk. Most importantly if the site is unknown for me, most games that has this kind of platforms we're scams. I happened to come across one and I find it revolting how the link redirect me to the site I did not even intentionally click. It also has a lot of virus that will slow your phone down.

I haven't and I don't join any online sweepstakes. That's why it's funny to know that I have received some emails telling me that I won some thousand dollars on their sweepstakes raffle. I don't believe that I won because I don't join.

It is a given for most of us not to believe in these scams. It is just that some of us are not that aware about these fake sweepstakes. Some find it too tempting because of "what if's" thats coming into their mind. Like what if I win? Or what if it's legit? Something like these.

Well since inboxdollar seem a legit site so I was trying to get some sweepstakes from them but I couldn't really because of my location.i think there one on the site is real but outside that I don't bother my head with others. I get tons of spam links on my mailbox but I don't oblige any.

I've never clicked on any of those links for online sweepstakes or whatever they claim to be. It's just too risky. One click could give people access to your computer, it's scary. I did try it out here from stores, I didn't win a lot but I do win sometimes. And that's a very rare sometimes LOL! If you want to try it out it'll be safer to go to a sweepstakes outlet rather than trust anything online. Good luck!

I have not tried any sweepstakes and would never do. Especially those that let you click links online they are too good to be true. Most of them are spam, they are very risky. They get your information once you sign up. As much as possible, avoid these kinds of scam. It is a big no, for me.

Do not trust anything that goes in your spam folder (unless it's from a website that you actually use). "Online Sweepstakes" are a type of email spam probably as old as the Nigerian Prince scam. You will gain nothing from those "online sweepstakes" unless they are from a legit website owned by a legit company.

Well honestly I have not won any sweepstakes,as I’m not really into gambling. I still believe in the good old fashioned work, striving and being industrious. But I did win some raffles at the office where I work haha. I know it’s not much, but I guess thrill and excitement of winning something are the same
for both contest.

Online sweepstakes usually fall under the category of 'too good to be true' and should be avoided. A careless person, or someone not used to the modus operandi of online scammers, might willingly give their information to the senders, which leaves them vulnerable to having their details used for nefarious purposes.

Scammers can be crafty, too. They sometimes impersonate familiar websites and whatnot, making it appear as though they are legitimate representatives. Always be wary online.

I hadn't tried entering one. I am also thinking that you cannot earn from it. Why? Because you'll never know if it is legit. It is even hard securing a win in offline sweepstakes. What do you think about online? Most are a scam. Opening the site might give you viruses and steal your information.

I've heard about such thing, but never actually used it. As for the links, you gotta understand, that your traffic must be super good, and you must have a decent amount of audience, because otherwise it would be barely a penny.

I'm always suspicious of such offers and tend to avoid them. I have sometimes clicked the link by mistake but I've never won anything and neither has anyone I know. It's better to try something reliable than to try something so suspicious which could harm your computer

my family used to join sweepstakes but we have no luck in that. I think only a few people with pure luck will win a sweepstakes.
