    Oprah Scam

    Reply Contact

    Just heard on the local (Central FL) news that there's a new SCAM email going around.  The email says you've been selected to attend a taping of the Oprah show and a chance to win a million dollars on the show.   It asks for personal info or $$ for tickets.  This is a SCAM.  The anchor quoted the Oprah show's staff as saying they never sell tickets to the show or travel arrangements.

    Hoping for a "recovery" year for everyone!!!

     I've been to several talk shows. The tickets are always free, but if someone has never been to a TV talk show- they would never know that.

      Much appreciation to you for letting us know since ST has several Oprah Sweeps posted throughout the year. It could be easily be mistaken for a sweeps entry.

    Oh-I got that one! It didn't come to my sweeps email though, so I junked it without even looking at it. Glad I did!
