Yeah, I know. I don't know what is going on. I even turned my spam guard off because I entered a writing contest, turns out I won, but the email notification went into my SPAM folder. I only found it because I was looking in there for the Nutrisystem coupon. I guess it's a good thing you or somebody told me to go look there. So I turned off the spam guard. I emailed the company from my work email and let them know the email went to Spam (it had a deadline to respond by and I missed the deadline). They replied me at my work email and cc'd my yahoo account and I never got the copy at my yahoo account. I entered the contest again. I think I won again (my entry has a blue ribbon next to it), but no email.Miz Diz,
I have tried to send you over 4 codes. I am not sure why you are not receiving them. Good Luck to you.![]()

Thanks for your PM.
I don't want to burst your bubble, but most of the writing/poetry "contests" are actually scams, which is why the correspondence from them gets deposited in your spam folder.
They basically ask you to submit your best writing. You could literally submit something like, "Roses are red, Violets are blue, I want to win this contest, So I can buy a new shoe." You'll get a notification telling you that you've won. EVERYBODY who enters will win. Then they'll offer to sell you a book for like $30 containing all the winning entries. The scammers make a ton of money.
I guess it's only a pseudo-scam, since the writers are buying an actual book with their writing in it, but it's just a money making venture for the "publisher" and not really a contest.
I know what you are talking about, but this is sponsored by Microsoft, Suave, and Sprint. It is legit. They had 5 rounds and there are only 3 winners per round. They are not selling a book and you did not have to pay an entry fee like some contests are. See inthemotherhood.com
You're right! I just assumed it was probably one of those scams. A lot of people fall for them.
Congrats on the win!!!
