selectyourgifts.com review: Pay to get items 108

the same thing happend to me like 2 sec ago right before i found this then called back to cancle they said i couldn't i had to call some other place do i have to pay anything? they said it would only be 40 dol. every 4 mon for 12 mon and a veary low shipping and handling for the 1, 000 dollor gift card. is it too late? is it really a lie?

I agree we need to sue all these companies that are frauds, but how? Select Your Gifts needs to be STOPPED! I vote that we all pitch in and get an attorney and sue the crap out of the dealships and the people of own "Select Your Gifts" and get out money back. Anyone takers?

That so called R America LLC
PO BOX 501535
Atlanta GA 30350

They are scam do not fall for anything they r telling you! I am a victim and was very stupid to agree to them!
DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION TO ANYONE!
they told me that I won a $ 1000 gift card @ select your gifts. com & later tells me to select magazines, I never receive anything. a guy name Peter called me and wanted me to call him back! I did He told me that I have $ 700 on collections! I was like What? I began explaining to him about my problems, he said yes I understand, but do you want to work on a payment plan I said no I don't have that money I will not pay it because I look in the internet and find out that this is a scam! I told him not to call & I don't care if I am on collections. I hang up! please we should do something to fight these people. And if they send our names to collections we should strike and get our name cleared!
lesson learned! now before I agree to anything I will do my research and if they insist give them a fake name and a fake address they deserve to be lied to!

Hey Lilach, I completely agree with you 100%!

aww that sucks i thought it was finally real!

How are we all going to get our money back from these jerks?Anyone know? If everyone is willing to in as whole as sue these jokers count me in! My email address: dawndonnelly61@yahoo.com if anyone wants to contact me about suing these FRAUDERS.

I was just called a little bit ago and a guy named Johnathan was like hey, you just won a $1000 online shopping spree on "selectyourgifts.com" and yaddi yaddi yah...6 magazine subscriptions for $3.58/week for 24 or 36 months and all you have to do is pay shipping and handling fees. I never won anything before so of course I was excited about it. Right when I went to go get my debit card to tell him the number he said that he already has my information and I thought that it sounded fishy...so I had my fiance' talk to the guy and my fiance was like use your head, its a scam and hung up...right after that happened they called me 4 times in a row! Right when i was so happy, it was too good to be true...shows how dumb I am...especially since I thought it was part of a contest that I did enter my name into

I was clearly not paying attention when I received the phone call telling me that I had won the $1000 shopping spree. I asked how they had got my information and the woman said it was because I had good credit with Visa, Mastercard etc. The person I initially spoke with disn't ask for any addtional info so I rolled with it. Then I was transferred to another lady who needed to verify my credit card information for some magazine stuff. I stupidly gave it to her. After the call ended I googled it to see if it was a sham because it definetly seemed like one. Sure enough I read everyone's post and regretted it. I call the credit card company to cancel the card that I had gave them, and sure enough they had tried to charge it although it didn't go through. I feel really stupid but also really greatful for everyone who posted warnings and their stories. Thank you all so much and hopefully this scheme will get shut down!

I am more than thankful to have found this website. I have spent the last hour searching ever portion of this flyer on google to find something bad about it. I received it in the mail in a brown envelope with a tear off portion to find this so-called $10, 000 preloaded debit card from "platinum plus". Then I open it all the way and see a piece of paper stating that there is an auto asset sell-off and grand prize extravaganza like 30 minutes from where I live.
It claims that there is $0 down payment and $146 per month for the vehicles. I didn't even enter anything so I knew right away this had to be fake. First thing that came to my mind, if it's too goo to be true, it probably is. An amazingly enough, my winning number matched the card one. When I first seen it, it reminded me of when my sister received a bunch of scam mail ( she is verrrrry gullible) and I would tell her not to get her hopes up because they could scam you out of your money. You know the one with the scratch off portion that's not even lined up with the box or it comes with a key, yea those ones.
But anyways I searched up finalistlogon.com and that search led me here. So I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing this bs. If you get anything like this in the mail, DON'T FALL FOR IT! You'll only make matters worse.

**MUST READ***

Just recieved the the same [censor] phone call stating i won a $1000 on-line shopping spree for being a mastercard holder. My very first thoughts were SCAM all the way. Looks like i was excatly right. I never gave my card info, and when they asked about my checking i told them no i don't have one ( which i do), but then they said i didn't when and i told them to [censor] off...glad i wrote down a few things so i could find this info and have a good laugh for the night...HAHAHAHA One less person here they get to pull this scam on...thanks everyone for sharing your story...

Yep, it just happened to me...they told me I won a $1000 gift card and they just needed to check my card and see if I had a MasterCard, visa etc. and they would not charge it. That it were a promotion, after the phone call I just wanted to make sure they didn't put nothing on my card, I called the bank in less than 5 minutes and they said my bank account had been wiped out and I have overdrafts. I have never been so hurt and pissed. Something that I thought was a blessing was indeed a nightmare. STAY AWAY from these Magazine thieves.

Crazycar, I am sooooooooo sorry that happened to you. I have already had 2 calls this week about that and turned them both down because I knew they were scams. I hope you'll be able to get reimberced somehow? what a shame!

When you all decided to do a lawsuit, count me in.The way the economy is, car dealership should be ashame of themselves, People work hard for their money.They should pay for our gas for tempting us to arrive at their destination.

Evangelist Easter Williams

I completely and 100% agree with you Easter Williams, completely!

I just got a call from them today! they said that i won $1000 shopping spree cert. and i said how do i know this is not a scam. and he said that he was from YMS which stands for your magazine source.
and he told me that i can select my gifts from seletyourgifts.com
he informed me about i get free subscription of a few major magaizes like 17 for 3 months and after that if i want to cancel it i can.
and then he started talking about i have to pay a "one time fee" of 8.95 or something for shipping and handling, and they will send me a package with my cert in it. so i asked him if i can pay after he sent me the package. He paused and said that the one time fee covers the shipping for package also.
so i told him that i need to check his company out first.
he's gonna call me back tomorrow

so glad i did some research first :)
it just sounded like too good to be true.

I'm on the bandwagon about selectyourgifts and the junk they SELL under the guise of shipping charges. Mine was a scratchoff win in a flier I got in the mail from Miller Dodge in Springfield Pa. Just a mile from me. You won't believe what they tried to do to get me to buy a car. Besides this scratch off that must be claimed at the dealership, they attempted to convince me "WALK AWAY from my current car loan by allowing the bank to repossess the car. After 12 months of paying on the new car from their lot, future lenders won't care about the repo on my credit record. Nothing will happen to me. I won't get a court judgement to pay the difference between the loan principle and the auction sell off by the bank. Nooo. Everything will be fine.
Well, a business that stoops to offering such potentially damaging advice to facilitate buying their product is associated with offering selectyourgifts.com speaks volumes about the gift site itself.

I just got a call today (10/25/2010) from selectyourgift.com. They started this monolog about $1000.00 of free gifts from their website. Then I was put on the phone with another fellow (I heard children playing in the background). I just had a previous dealing with ANOTHER company before I has sense enough to realize they were nothing but scam artists...thank God. He proceeded to tell me of the wonderful gifts I could get off their website (that you can't even open up unless certain numbers are given). Then he talked about magazines I'd get each month for $3.96 per week...now get this...FOR THE NEXT 60 MONTHS. You do the math. All they want is your credit card number! I looked up his sight online as we were on the phone and low and behold, I found THIS website as well as their official website. When I told the fellow I wasn't interested...he slammed down the phone. My conclusion, in this world, NOTHING is free. There are no trump-up rewards to be won. People are trying to exist and that's all. Put these bums out of business. If you've been scammed, tell about it...don't be ashamed because there are lots of us in the same boat. The Internet is just a tool and give you the privacy of visiting people and places you haven't been before but everthing comes with a price. THIS ONE is called: SELECTYOURGIFT.COM. These scam artists are a plague on the Internet so protect yourself and remember...NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE!

Is there anyway I can cancel it? I just now did it and have to wait for the office to open tomorrow at 10 to call back.
Can I still cancel? The lady told me I could cancel it and only try it for a month or something. So if she tells me no..what should I do?
I was really hoping to use that $1000 for Christmas gifts..but I guess that's not the case.

Where are these jokers based so that we can sue the hell out of them and get our money back plus interest and agrivation?Grrrrr!

I recorded them telling me I could cancel. So if they try anything funny I guess I can sue, right? I feel so awful and naive but we're low on money so.. I thought it was a blessing.

I just received two gift cards from a car dealership in PA (free shopping spree) and I can't even log in using the card number and pin. It states it does not recognize those numbers. Even worse, you go to email someone, and the email does not go through. What a scam!

How can and do we stop these scammers?! They need to be stopped...pronto!

I was opening my mail and among them was this unusual envelope. You know, real official like where you have to bend the edges and remove them to open the envelope and it had security markings on it so you couldnt see inside. Then I felt what was clearly a credit card. I thought to myself, ok more junk mail but at least they were clever enough to get me to take a look so I open it and it told me not to ignore that I was a finalist (event tho I never entered anything) because I would end up like some other person they name that lost their prize for not responding. The prize notice was from AIRPORT CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE in Orlando, FL. There was a scratch off and it matched one of 3 winning numbers and it said I was then definitely getting 1 of 4 prizes. a $10k debit card, a MAC iPad, a $500 holiday gift card, or $150.00 in cash. Immediately I knew I was getting a gift card because the other prizes had value and the odds were 1 in 3 people! Then I noticed the card was to some site I had never heard of: "selectyourgifts.com". So I thought, ok Im limited to that 1 site, let me see what [censor] they are peddling on there. I went to the site and I could not even look at what prizes I had to choose from. At LEAST they had some examples of the prizes I could select and I thought it all looked like cheap junk to me but I figured if it wouldnt cost me anything I could just sell the stuff for cheap on ebay. I read the terms and it said I had to pay a shipping and handling fee but did not say how much it would be. I then found their FAQ page and the question was there about what that fee would be and the answer only commented on the additional per order $5 charge! Then I did a Yahoo! search and found all your complaints and then thought "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! Thank you all for your feedback and Im sorry for those of you who experienced a nightmare responding to this scam. I am going to post this on my blog and e-mail it to the dealer. Not to make them aware because I expect they know the cards are worthless, but to let them know that alot of us are on to scam they are associated with. They are shameless and guilty by association.

I just recieved a call saying I won a $1.000 gift certificate for selectyourgifts.com I knew there was a catch when the rep. started talking about magazines and S&H fees...so as I was talking to the supervisor who asked for my card info I searched the website and found this forum I told the supervisor to hold please and politely hung up...Thank Gaawwd for technology

common sense yall... if they ask 4 a credit/debit card number so they can so call "give you free money" then something is wrong. I once did win a 150.00 gift card for wal-mart an never did they ask any personal information except for my address an telephone number. I know economy is bad an times r hard an every1 including me is desperate for a free buck but you guys this is life... is somewhere really gonna be just handing out gift cards and free merchandise for no reason @ all! use ur noggins ppl! i hate 2 hear that ppl gt scammed...every1 works 2 hard 4 their money 2 b pressured and tricked into giving it away 4 some crap! i hope every1 thats has gotten screwed gets their money back! i hate 2 hear every1s "screwed over" stories... it mks me wish their was something i could do to help every1! do your research ppl... an anyone who is Customer Service and being rude, you dnt need their services anyways...take you business elsewhere! have a great day every1..hope everything works out for all! GOD BLESS=]

We got the same crap here in Beaufort, SC, BUTLER CHRYSLER, $500.00 Gift Certificate with Selectyourgifts.com, we won yeahhh.
HAHAHAHA. Schame on you... So this must be going on all over the United States, what a rip off.
Is'nt there anything, that can be done about this? A few years back, we won 300.00 worth of gas, from another dealer here, yeahhhhh, but when ever I called there was no answer, so another scam.Schould have learned by now LOL. I rather just get the normal umbrella in hand, that we used to win, lolololol.

Vaden Chevy/ Cadillac here in Savannah, GA did the same thing. My daughter is close to getting her license so I figured I would go out and test drive a vehicle and see what I won. The woman (lady would NOT be the correct word) asks what I would like to test drive. I tell her we are a couple of months out for buying a car but figured we would take a test drive while we decide what our next car would be. She asks "If I hold a couple of months payments for you would that get you to buy today?" I politely smile and my 13yo daughter chuckles. She then asks why would you take a test drive if you are not going to buy a car today. Now my 13 yr old's eyes get as big as saucers. She gets how transparently sleazy or 'sketchy' this is.
I say b/c it says I have won something. The woman says well I'll just give it to you then and tells me that she is with the marketing co and flys out tonight, back to California. I leave with $750 in gift cards more disappointed in the Vaden family for their incredibly bad move.
1. Buying a car is a very serious expense for most families.
2. Instead of starting and building a relationship with a sales person or sales team as we start this process, I am treated rudely by an out of town snake oil salesman.
3. If a 13 yr old can see how backwards this process is, can't just about everyone else?
4. I asked my 15 yr old to go to the website and see what these were worth. After hearing the story, she said not on her computer, she thought the site would give her computer a virus.
5. So I decided to GOOGLE this and read some of these stories. No need to go to the site. No need to buy my next car from the Vadens.
6. If this happened to you in SAVANNAH, Call the Vaden Sales Department at [protected] and let them know what a bad business move this was!

Same story as the rest. These kind of promotions only continue to hurt the auto industry. Guess where I will never set foot in...Courtesy Ford in Conyers Georgia.

I receive mail from my auto dealership and have a scratch to win and i did win a shopping spree for a $1, 000.00 and BEHOLD IT IS "THE BIGGEST SCAM" they give me the certificate but when i go online i need to pay the shipping and handling what kind winning is that? TOTALLY SUCK and Pat Lobbs Toyota Auto Company sucks too coz they promote the worst junkies certificate to the loyal customer i will find another nice and honest auto deelership and i will not recommend them to my family and friends to buy car there coz they sucks and the salesman too...

CROSSROADS FORD IN PRINCE GEORGE, VIRGINIA, did the same thing. They gave us a huge $1, 000 shopping spree for coming in to look at what they had for sale. At this point, we WILL NEVER BUY FROM CROSSROADS FORD simply because of their involvement in this scam. It is a joke! If I could not be honest and offer something above board, I would not offer anything at all. If you are honest, people will buy from your dealership anyway. This scam just makes us think what would CROSS ROADS do to make a buck! No way, we will not go there again!

I was contacted that good news is I won 1000.00 shoping spree on line bad news was they needed my imformation at first whats your number can we have your age please of course I did not give them correct imfo. then to top it off they wanted a credit card I prefer to use mastercard, visa, etc. Well not giving my personal imfo out esp on here, The number they left me to call was [protected] lady name Diana this has been turned it and its a publishers clearing house winning thing they are claiming . Everyone do not take the BAIT its a Scam to get your personal imformation so they can rob you of yourl hard earned money this is sad that people do this .But God will get them for stealing from people in the end.If the feds don't get them first. And my opinion I hope the cops get them first BEWARE STAY AWAY EVERYONE GETTING THESE CALLS REPORT TO AUTHORITIES DO NOT GET PULLED INTO THIS SCAM EVERYTHING YOU ORDER WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOUR DEBIT OR CHARGE CARD

I am sooooo thankful that I found this web site! I received a flyer in the mail from Lakeland, FL Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer with a scratch off number. WOW! The number matched the number on the attached, pre-loaded $10, 000 debit card. I have an appointment to go to the dealership to claim one of four guaranteed prizes: 1) $10, 000 Pre-Loaded Debit Card, 2) MAC iPAD, 3) $500 Holiday Gift Card or 4) $150 Cash in Hand. I used a magnifying glass to read that the gift card is redeemable online at www.SelectYourGifts.com. I searched for this www.SelectYourGifts.com web site and also found this web site "Complaintsboard.com" which proves that "if something looks or sounds too good to be true" it probably is. I will NOT keep my appointment with this dealership and will reveal their shady way of doing business to all my friends and neighbors.

I got a phone call from some company saying I won a $1000 shopping spree, but didn't specify with where, just said that I'd get an account with $1000 credit and that as I spend, it will go to 0 or till I can't buy anything. I agreed along with an offer of 3 one year subscriptions of magazines, I said OK since they are free, and he said that I can test it for a month, and if I'm unhappy or no longer want them, just call customer service and cancel, if not I'd be billed $56.00 The only catch was that I had to pay the 8.95 processing fee (so they could organize my shopping spree with things that interested me) by giving them my CC #.

Yet, the guy was very polite, asking about the weather, said how that the 8.95 is nonrefundable and that conversation was being recorded that way they wont be reported for fraud... I think that was the problem, that I fell for this scam. Next thing I knew I had multiple unknown charges from SCORE MARKETING and YOUR MAGAZINE SOURCE, I called the number they provided they said they would remove them, and it took 5 days to remove, along with calling my bank and replacing my card, I finally got this elusive shopping spree information a week or so later.

I went onto the website, and used the account # and password to see what was actually available (I was very surprised to even receive it in the mail) it was ALL JUNK! Nothing worth all this trouble and worry over crappy made junk, old 1990 PC games and PS2 games that aren't even worth the s/h that you are require to pay for each item along with a $5 one time charge. Just another way to get your CC# so I closed the window and ripped up the certificate. I don't even care if I do get the magazines.

OMG! I almost fell for this an hour ago! I was all in until they asked me for my card number, when I asked him what he needed for if the shopping spree is "Free"? He began to talk super fast and said some BS about a pre - approved screening that was needed. I then asked are the payments for the magazine going to be something that is taken out automatically? He again sped through some script and but reluctantly said yes it will be taken out automatically. I told him that I am a broke college student and that is not going to work. Then he hung up on me...just rude

This company is a scam. Be careful. Here is what you can buy but remember that you will be paying $5.00 per item plus an extra $8+ dollars for shipping and handling. All items have outrageous shipping and handling. Here is the garbage you can get:

selectyourgifts.com has now become shoppingcardstore.com since they were identified as a scam. Buyer beware!

I revived a call from them saying that i also had won a shopping spree and, they actually gave me multiple phone numbers, so if anyone at all has issues here is their service line [protected], please feel free to call them and express your opinions to them, for i have the same. I was kinda weirded out when i got the call about it, so i called them back though all the phone executives are nice and all it seemed fishey when they told me about their promotions of magazines for 60 months at 2.86 a week and as i was transferred it became 3.86 a week. And then i Visited the sight they gave me... under construction, so i googled it and natuarally i found all this info about it being a scam. And interestingly enough the website doesnt even show up as an option. so if search engines cant find it then it must be fishy. so i called them back and spoke with their supervisor, hopefully everything is settled. Though They told me my card holder entered me in a drawing for this. Though above is the number for everyone.

I recieved the same 1, 000.00 gift certificate so called from Walmart. It is all junk. I can go to the dollar store and get better crap. They are taking out $50.00 a month from my checking account that I really can't afford and have recieved no magazines. After it is all said and done it will cost me 1, 000.00 for nothing. Plus shipping and handling. I have not used my certificate. I will not use it. I'm gonna fight this. They won't let me cancel it. Not right. I have 5 kids to support and we live off of SSI since my husband passed. We need that money. I can barely buy food at the end of the month. That $50.00 they are taking from me would be very useful to be able to buy my kids food. This is the worst scam I have ever got my self into. I don't know what to do.

I just got the call about 5 minutes ago...what a crock of crap! "Congratulations...you won a 1000.00 shopping spree"...I made her repeat the name of the company, ..googled it...came to this page...and told her I wasn't interested any more...the number she called from was [protected]...serously...how do these people sleep at night?!?!?!
