I received an email that I won a peppermint Chocolate Sweepstakes & Giveaways ice cream cake from a Fishbowl contest I had indeed entered. I had to respond with my contact info, which I promptly did. Then I received an email from the sponsor that this contest was only for people in Malaysia (?!!) and the prize would not be fulfilled. I do not recall seeing anything about Malayasia-only during the entering process!

Hmmm. I've been wondering about these Fishbowl contests. I've been entering them, but not sure what the deal is. Sorry for the disappointment!
Has anyone noticed the names on their winner's list? It's like 10 or so names that win over and over. Very odd.

I was going to go there with the fishy pun myself...good one!
See, now that sounds like it was really open to TX only & they failed to note that:
