Be aware of holiday scams As the holiday shopping season approaches, the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs is alerting Tennessee consumers to be on high alert for fraudulent sweepstakes and lottery offers they may receive by mail, phone, or social media. Using the household brand name of nationally known sweepstakes companies such as the Publishers Clearing House, scammers are actively trying to cheat unsuspecting Tennesseans. The Federal Trade Commission received over 2,600 complaints from Tennesseans related to sweepstakes and lottery scams this year. If you are asked to pay any amount of money in order to claim a prize, you are being scammed. Legitimate sweepstakes don’t have strings attached for winners to claim their prizes.
