| Georgie in cutest pet book I entered a pic of Georgie (the smiley one in my avatar) in the Cutest Pet Photo contest online (sorry I am not where I got the website from). Anyways I got a letter in the mail today saying he is semifinalist for the $1,000 cash prize and that he is also going to be featured in the "cutest pets 2006 book." They want me to send a biography as well to put under his picture. I am very excited and figure why not they are not asking money just permission to use his pic and a biography. They also provided me with an ISDN # for the book at the Library of Congree so it seems legit. What do you all think should I continue with it? Thanks

| Congratulations. Yes go ahead with it. My daughter entered a picture in one of those, and basically it's to get you to buy the book. And if you want your contact information in the book, they charge you for that. But it's neat to have your picture in a book. |

| Morgan, this is a total scam. I went through this and it ended up being a total sham. It might be a different one, but mine was from www.cutestpetcontest.com or something like that. I was all excited about it too. I hope yours is a different one and in that case CONGRATS GEORGIE!!!

| Congrats...on the pet contest. Was it picture.com??? Tiki when she was a pup ..(the one in my avatar) is in a book too. They do that and then later they try to sell you stuff... they also want you to send them money to place the picture in another contest.. I never bought anything from them.. When they start asking for money ..I feel it's like a scam in a way. They should be paying you to use your pictures..they also have a poem contest too. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | HE IS the Cutest Pet - scam or not - those kinds of things have been around for years and years - I remember getting all excited when someone wanted my son to be in a Magazine - lol - yeah sure - once I paid them 200 dollars ??? no thanks. Too bad but it was nice to be excited there for a while wasn't it ? |

| My daughter writes poems or short story and she won 2 diff contest in 2 diff books, then they send her a letter to buy one of the books they wanted $349.00 for the book.we do not have the book hubby said NO. If there not wanting money CONGRATS he needs to be in a book he is so cute. |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Watch Out!!! Be careful! I, as well as several other family members entered our dogs (I entered my Mini Doxie...this was WAY before I even had Stedman...this was probably almost 2 years ago!) and we ALL got the same letter, on the same days too. They DO end up asking for money...nothing but a scam. I highly recommend you DO NOT anything with this company.
