Says it ends “ENDS April 30th, 2016” right above where the media icons are…?
Says May 31st now. Good!
this site does not look legit, I went to the main website…does anyone know anything about this Site?
I am just curious, not trying to be step on toes or be rude- i am just cautious where I put my info? Thanks
by this site I DO NOT mean SWEETIE SWEEPS site, the Pirate Payout site, sorry for any confusion…
Hi Sammi. I am from PiratePayout.com. I want to assure you that everything on our site is legit. We have been conducting sweepstakes since 1984 but in the mail, not online, similar to PCH. PiratePayout.com is our first online property and our sweeps are very real. As a matter of fact, the two largest prizes are guaranteed, meaning someone will win – the jackpot does not rollover.
I understand your caution, but PiratePayout.com is legitimate and the $1.1 million grand prize deadline is May 12th. Good luck if you choose to enter.
I notice that now you have to sign up in order to enter the sweepstakes. Why is that? I wasn’t required to do that previously.
You are correct. The reason that was done is because we have 5 sweepstakes. Previously, an entrant would have to start at one sweeps and work their way through in a specific order and enter all 5 sweeps. Their entry information would be passed along as well from sweeps to sweeps.
Now, we have split each sweepstakes out separately so you can enter one or all 5 and start and finish in whatever order you wished to do so. In doing that, we had to set up a registration page so that you do not have to enter all of your information for every sweeps…you only have to do so once, then you can enter one or all sweepstakes, one day or every day and you do not need to enter your information over and over. I hope this helps.
site dont look right, ill pass
I’m with you Delano, don’t look right!! Passing also.
I made the mistake of entering once in a previous contest, don’t you make the same mistake.
Why do you say that, Kevin? Did you receive a lot of email?
I did enter several times before they started requiring registration, and so far I haven’t received any email from them. I made sure to opt-out on each sweepstakes I entered.
I have not received email, but they start mailing you in regular mail letters that make it appear that you won something, when you actually didn’t.
Kevin, if you wish to opt out of a mail list, please call toll-free: 1-888-588-4185.
Thanks for your feedback, Kevin.
Well I’m not that new. You don’t have to take my word for it, just google “Pirate Payout” or “Pirate Payout Scam” and read all about the law suits and legal actions that have been taken against the company running this “Sweepstakes”.
Where are you seeing the scam reports? I Googled and didn’t see anything.
Hi Sweetie. I love your website, thank you very much.
I made a mistake in what to Google. If you Google “Pirate Payout Scam” nothing comes up. You need to Google the name of the company that owns and runs Pirate Payout, which is the “National Magazine Exchange of Clearwater Florida”.
The first two links are:
http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/sweepstakes-winners-complain-about-charges-from-national-magazine-exchange/1153857
and the BBB:
http://www.bbb.org/west-florida/business-reviews/magazine-sales/national-magazine-exchange-in-seminole-fl-10292#
There are many other articles online also under these. Unfortunately I read all this after I entered one time. My only reason for posting what I did here was to help others avoid having the problems I read about and possibly losing money and privacy through no fault of their own.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to email me with any other questions you may have.
Thank you so much for doing the research! That’s really smart of you to look up the company by original name. It also didn’t feel right to me and I almost paid their monthly auto entry fee. I’m deleting my account with PP.
Come to think of it, I have been getting many shady random auto sales calls since I signed up for this pirate payout site so I’m doing experiment to see if I change my info and still get it on my junk google voice number now then it’s clearly coming from them.
