CarSponsorship.com Winner?
 

Alright, I've known about this site for a while and they had a little contest going and you just had to fill out a small form and submit. Well, usually you submit your application with and they charge you $89 for the processing and suck but if you get sponsored, no guarantees, you will receive atleast $500 in sponsorship materials and if really lucky you get up to $25,000 in materials from your sponsor/ sponsors. Well, I was always thinking about doing but I never really had the money to do it and I thought it would worth a try if the site was up to it's word. So I submit this contest entry and they email me saying I won the contest. Now they say to fill out the full application and send them $89 for the processing. I emailed them back and asked,"By me winning this contest am I guaranteed a sponsorship for my car instead of only having the chance with the usual application?"

I want get your take on this, scam or no?

Let me add this too, they told me to gather a couple pictures of my car for some before and after articles they will be posting.

Actually here is the whole email.

definitely sounds like a scam to me. how long from the time you submitted the form until they contacted you?

I think maybe like 3 days.

ive used em i had liek 4 full sponsor ship offers..the most was liek 5 grand, but they all sucked, like decalkits.com what the hell am i supposed to do with 5 grand worth of decals no thanks

id say go for it mabey you won 25 grand from a turbo company or something :)

So you actually payed the $89 to see what would happen?

Everybody probably got that email...

Yea, definately a scam man. Think of all the money they make just sending out ricers decal kits...

And if you shoot the monkey you'll get a free iPod!

It's a scam... save your $ for your supercharger fund.

:cool:

Real sponsers dont charge for an application that ridiculous its a scam btw I have a bridge for sale real cheap too ;) , pm if interested.

Who was the guy selling earth on ebay a while ago. He was from here, buy that instead.

I dunno but I bought Uranus off ebay and still haven't received it yet. Maybe it was the same guy?

By the way, don't do it. Any logical mind would know that is a scam. Maybe you should try and register with a different name and see if you get the same email? Go make some fake email at yahoo or something...good luck.

Also anybody with the name Ragen Peter has to be a scammer lol.

I had filled out that thing a while back too and I got the same reply as you. No matter what car you send in, even if you put a 1980 geo metro, they will still email you saying you are a winner and to send them $89. And I bet even if they do send you something, i bet they will send you a ricer decal kit which they will say is worth $500. Its a scam dude, That is always advertised at cardomain, so you think they will really send $5,000+ of stuff for $89?, id think not. Like my dad always told me, "No one will ever sell you a $10 dollar bill for a dollar"

You might get some company like "depends" or "preperation H' looking to put big stickers on your car maybe??? That would suck
