NO SPAM, PLEASE -- The Great American Photo Contest
I received the following mail enticing me to send the photo of my pet to enter the $1,000 Pet Photo Contest. According to the mail the entry into 'The Great American Photo Contest' is free and there's guaranteed monthly winner.
Frankly speaking; on first instance, I took it as genuine and thinking which photo I should send to them. Then suddenly I reminded myself that "Beware! Its a Cyber World", anything is possible here. I went on to search the term 'pet photo contests scam' and shocked to find out many websites hinting that it was a 'Scam through Spam'.
