Sweepstakes Clearing House Worst Scam!!! Arlington Texas

I was notified and Congratulated that I had won a 10 million dollar sweepstakes giveaway and was issued 6 vouchers of $400 each toward 6 items.  I chose the Freedom 32 piece Cookware w/ Cuisinart for $489.95 and the Ultralite 6-pc Luggage set for $489.95. I gave them my credit card number to charge the remining $89.95 for each of the 2.  After a couple of weeks, I saw 2 pending charges on my credit card for Allied Health??? (which was strange!)  One for $130.83 and another for $119.70.  I didn't know what they were for and saw later that when the charges actually posted, the name changed to Sweepstakes Clearing House!  I was upset!  Nowhere on the brochure did it say that is was going to charge extra $71 for shipping!!   That seemed strange to me!  Then the 2 big boxes came.  The boxes looked very old and said from China and the tape was very old, too!

To my dismay, the lid holders on the cover on the pots were all dented!!  The yellowish metal is so soft, you can press them in!!  I have never seen such cheap metal before!! The Cuisinart machine was very small, like a small toy.  The Ultralite luggage was a much darker and dulller shade than the pretty color on the colored brochure.  The cheap fabric was like half paper material.  I have ultralite luggage and it is a much better quality than this was!   Also, the stitching was crooked and the pieces were smaller than what was shown on the brochure and the plastic crimped! 

I called to complain that the items were defective and damaged and that I wanted a refund.  I also asked for a shipping return label back and they said no.  I said they had the nerve to send me this cheap junk and I don't want to pay for the shipping back!  I asked to speak to the supervisor and she put me on hold for a long while, then came on and said that because I said I wasn't satisfied, they would not pay for the return.  I told her I DID SAY that the cover lids handles were dented and the merchandise was defective and she said, No, you didn't!  I told her to and listen to the phone recording with my conveersation to the previous agent, .... to which she abrutly hung up on me!!   Needless to say, I am infuriated with this company!  I will have to pay about $100 shipping cost back for both bulky items and have to insure them too because these people are crooks.  They will say they never got them!

I did a Google search on Sweepstakes Clearinghouse after this and saw that there are 417 reviews on Ripoff.com.   I wish I had read the reviews beforehand!   They are all kinds of complaints... One lady also said she got dented handles!!  Many others said they never received the merchandise after paying for them!   These people shouldn't be allowed to SCAM people like this!  I hope people will read this before being suckered in like I was!!!
