    Advertising Review:
    On May 27, 2008 the BBB contacted Emerson Publishing to request that the company modify or discontinue an advertisement to adhere to the BBB Code of Advertising.

    According to the BBB Code of Advertising, "Advertisements which are untrue, misleading, deceptive, fraudulent, falsely disparaging of competitors, or insincere offers to sell, shall not be used."

    The company circulates a letter from its "Office of the Sweepstakes Entry Service Department" claiming that, "the entire sum of over $12,000,000 in cash," remains unclaimed and that the recipient must immediately respond to "ensure" that he or she does not "forfeit" the "right to win sweepstakes cash awards."

    The solicitation, which requests that consumers return a "claim form" along with $5, offers to sell a report that lists national sweepstakes operated by other, third-party, companies and the prizes to be awarded in those sweepstakes. The offer is not clear and conspicuous.

    As of August 29, 2008, Emerson Publishing agreed to discontinue some advertisements, but refused to fully cooperate with the BBB by modifying all of its advertisements to adhere to the BBB Code of Advertising.

    Products & Services

    This business sends mailings about prizes and asks for a fee. This business is not distributing prize money to winners, but is offering to sell information about sweepstakes that you can enter. The fee is not for receiving the prize, but is for a list of sweepstakes that you can enter to see if you win. Remember that when you win a prize, you do not have to pay anything up front to receive the prize. When a business asks for money up front, it is selling something, not giving a prize.
