I don't remember entering a TX200 giveaway. Look like BS junk to me. What do you think?
I just got an email saying I won
- Thread starter hawkeye69
- Start date
What’s it hurt to call and see what it’s all about? And I wouldn’t give them my home address if it were me.

I called. It goes straight to a voice mailbox that has not been set up yet. Just another scam of some sort, I imagine.

Always a new way to scam, especially now that they realize how much we AIRGUNNERS spend. You're smart to be skeptical!

"rossimediagroup" has nothing to do with American Airgunner. It's the parent co. of LinkedIn, from what I just read.

A quick search on the phone number comes back to an ATT cel phone in Fort Smith AR.

@hawkeye69 It definitely sounds suspect especially if you didn’t submit some sort of entry form online or were totally unaware of the “give away.”

This is a legitimate email. I work with Lauren, Rossi and American Airgunner and that is her email addy. You actually WON a new airgun. Please PM me if you have additional questions.

Indeed a real person, my assistant Lauren Taylor, she'll never send a weird link or ask for cc info!

I just spoke with Lauren on the phone. Thank her very much for reaching out to me, it's unfortunate that we need to be so cautious, but that is the modern world in which we live. I'm looking forward to receiving the gun. Thanks again...

Well, good to see good things happen to good people. Now we know the format of their contact email the next time it won't be so suspicious.
