Checking on the JA {Judging Assoc.} is one way to verify when the email has that "spammy/phishing" feel to it, and Don Jagoda Associates ARE legit:

Don Jagoda

Using keywords to search expired for a corresponding sweeeps {as 3mnkids1 did} is another way to check.

The emaill addy and return path should help to determine if it's legit or not too.

If it has some funky ending {ru, hk, etc} or is really someones hotmail/yahoo/gmail acct., then it's NOT legit!!! :nono:

This sweeps ended July 31, 2008 & rules say: Grand Prizes will be awarded in a random drawing, on or about August 11, 2008, from among all eligible entries received




So it's possible they are still attempting to do the fullfillment? :scratch:
 
Thanks for the replies!! you have all been very helpful. I went on the Don Jagoda website and filled out their form and copies them the email that I received. It was from a gmail account, so I was a bit skittersih about replying directly! I thought I would play it safe.

Thank you for the advice everyone! I will let everyone know what the outcome is.

P.S. Isn't it awful that we all have to have to worry about scams ruining the fun of sweepstaking?
 
I wanted to let everyone know that I received a telephone call from the judging agency and it was legit! I won $100.00 Speigel gift card and will arrive in a couple of weeks!
