My dad entered the contest as well but he didn't receive any winning emails so not everyone got it. I just really want to know if it's just dishonesty on their part. It seems fishy to me. I'm spreading the word that's for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067962.post-68132354389002704972007-07-16T00:02:00.000-05:002007-07-16T00:02:00.000-05:00According to a source inside Kum and Go over 8,000...According to a source inside Kum and Go over 8,000 emails were sent out.

It is about the way a corporation won't honor its winners by trying to blame someone else for their possible monetary problems.<BR/><BR/><BR/>They were bound by the notifications that people won. It did not say "You may have won", but said that "you won." That is a moral if not legal commitment to the recipient of the winning email.<BR/><BR/>If they were an honest company they would carry through. But since they won't carry through, they are just another dishonest corporation.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Kum and Go farmed out the notifications to some India company.<BR/><BR/>They need to be brought to task by the various attorney generals and maybe even prosecuted for their actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067962.post-89582205399471470742007-07-14T14:04:00.000-05:002007-07-14T14:04:00.000-05:00Wow...

Maybe Kum and Go didn't award anything and the names on their website are all fake!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>They need to be held legally responsible for the actions of their contracted vendor and honor every single prize. I for one will never set foot in a Kum and Go again and warn all my friends of what kind of fraud the company is.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Everyone should contact their own Attorney General's office for Consumer Affairs (or whatever it is called in your state) and file a complaint. Also everyone should contact their local news station so this gets out and warn people against Kum and Go. A company should get away with this kind of fraud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067962.post-73751722369278080652007-07-13T22:57:00.000-05:002007-07-13T22:57:00.000-05:00Jen- I'm making the assumption that everyone who e...Jen- I'm making the assumption that everyone who entered probably received it.
