Hello82 is running sweepstakes / lotteries in the ******************* without offering a no purchase required form of entry. They have held these lotterys on multiple occasions and when I reached out to them inquiring about them holding a sweepstakes without the necessary no purchase required form of entry they have ignored my emails. They are offering up a chance to meet popular Kpop bands , but you are only allowed to enter if you purchase CDs, which is an unfair business practice to drive their own sales. The more CDs you purchase the more entries you get into the contest, but it always seems to be only the winners who spend hundreds of dollars buying 20+ CDs are winners giving them an unfair advantage. Here are website pages of their current lottery and a couple of their past ones where you can see there was no free entry offered ************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************** The resolution that I am seeking is for the Company to offer a No Purchase necessary entry when they are running these sweepstakes as required under CA Law and for them to be transparent and show how winners are selected since they always seem to have the same winners who spend thousands.Initial Complaint

I have made multiple purchases with Hello82 and they provided shipping numbers and suddenly they have disappeared. Hundreds of people are having the same issue and Hello82 refuses to provide a comment or acknowledge that something is going on. My order numbers are: #******, #******, #****** all totaling well over $200 total.
