Drew Scott I received a text message and conversed a few times and then I was told that I was a winner of the HGTV random drawing sweepstake or something. I was finally told that I had won 2.5 million, 7000 a week for life, and a house. Great I thought. Then they HGTV sweepstakes scam Internet

I was contacted by someone by text stating that they were Drew Scott from HGTV.  After conversing a few times about how long I had watched and stuff they told me I had been chozen at random from facebook, and that it was never a scam or a fraud.    I was told that I had won 2.5 million and 7000 a week for life, as well as a house.  

I was assured that nothing from HGTV was a fraud or a scam via the text message.

However, then came the request for me to send money via walmart or western union which automatically threw up a red flag and I knew it had to be a scam.  Such a disappointment.  I would never send anyone money for this kind of stuff, watched stuff on TV too many times.  

I do not know if anyone else or how many have been notified of this or been taken advantage by this, but it needs to be checked out for sure.  I hope that you can also stop them from using the Scott brothers to advance their scam.
