Ok I received an email that said i must print,sign and scan then attach to email a affidavit for a win of certain type of diapers worth 100.It says I have 7 days.. Well I emailed them concerning it and no answer. I dont know how to scan. My printer doesnt have a scanner so I have to use Moms. Its still wouldnt work and attach and it was getting complicated. I then emailed the company and ask if I can please fax the affidavit and she says it has to be by 7 pm because shes leaving. Then she says I should use a relatives phone to scan it so I get a hold of my sister and it takes awhile but finally she does it .Then I get 2 emails saying I need to confirm my email account so they can add my credits . Credits ? I thought they would just mail me some diapers. Now by this time I have one more day. Then after I have the papers scanned and sent by my sister that same day I get an email that says she will be away until the end of next week and she will contact me then. I am so angry.Why on earth does it take all this affidavit scanning crap for a $100 prize? When I won my coffee bar worth $250. They just sent it. No papers ,No ID no nothing. My mom won $100.They just mailed her a check. Im starting to wonder if they want to award the prize or not. They make it so hard to get for the average person. Thanks for reading my gripe .I was so happy to win and now I do not even know if I will get it. Im just really aggravated.
My gripe.Why is it so hard to get the prizes sometimes?

Unfortunately, there is not much consistency in sweeping when you enter promos that don't use a JA {Judging Agency} like eprize.
It's why I avoid BLOGS and cross my fingers & hope on the FB promos!
The BBB {Better Business Bureau} is one recourse, if a promo doesn't follow their own rules, but it sounds like she/they assumed you had access to a scanner & fax, and that their rules CYA'd them?
I go to KINKO's for scans & faxes, and to a Mail Center for notaries & scans & faxes, and I agree, it's MUCH easier when they just fulfill without all the hoops!

Thanks Amy We dont have a kinkos. We use the library for faxes and I go to the bank for notarys. It was a facebook sweeps and although they offer nice prizes I will never enter one for this company again. I also avoid blogs because of the fact its so hard to win and some of them are downright mean about it. I recently saw where one told the people they had only ten minutes to claim a prize.Thats ridiculous. even for a so called flash giveaways.
Some smaller sponsors/blogs seem to think we all live in big cities and have access to a Kinko's or something!
I think they {sponsors} forget they hold these promos to create new/hold on to regular customers/users & they shoot themselves in the foot because they really don't like us sweepers, so they try to design their promo for site regulars that would be hanging out there!
