I have included this article because many people who start entering free sweepstakes, especially online, start receiving unsolicited mail, both normal mail and e-mail, tempting them to send money in order to win things or come across a fortune. These mails give the impression that by sending money, either to someone who can increase your luck, or to receive some lucky charm, you will start to win in sweepstakes or lotteries that you enter. We refer to these as psychic scams or astrology scams.
At SweepstakeA2Z.com we are interested in the fun of entering sweepstakes for free (except perhaps for postage if the sweepstake requires a postal entry). It is just fun, and the excitement comes from the possibility, however remote, that we will win something. We do not condone or encourage psychic or astrology scams, or the practice of asking people to spend money on systems to increase the chances of winning. One of the joys of these sweepstakes is that you do not have to have money to enter - everyone from the homeless to the President has the same chance of winning, if they enter.
If you receive requests that are either psychic scams or astrology scams, or any similar requests we encourage you to post details in our forum at Sweepstake Scam Report
What are astrology scams?
These promotions advise that you could come into a fortune if only you send funds to mail boxes for talismans, golden eggs or fortune telling guides to personal wealth. The material is normally bulk mailed (usually from overseas) though it appears to be specifically written to you (thousands of others may have been mailed the same request).
Be wary of replying to mail that advises you that you are about to come into riches, if only you send away for a golden egg, a talisman or some other fortune telling token.
