Dr. Odyssey Sweepstakes Winners List ????

Dr. Odyssey Sweepstakes Winners List ????

Is there a list of Dr. Odyssey Sweepstakes winners from the October 2024 contest? 200 people were supposed to receive $200 to enter the above sweepstakes via email. I am not sure this was a legit contest. Can TA verify this and let everyone know?

I could be a winner but scams are everywhere these days.

Hi KyBluegrassGirl;

First ~ Like all the forums on TripAdvisor, this forum is peer-to-peer assistance. It is NOT an effective way to contact TA staff.

Second ~ Everything that I can find online about this sweepstake is that it was a partnership between Saks and abc.com.

Was there also a partnership with TA?

Best Regards

Never heard of this contest. Do you have any link?

Well, reading the details, there certainty is no mention of TA and, honestly, I can’t see that it would pertain to them anyway.

I am a little confused about the OP’s comment that people were supposed to receive $200 to enter the contest. Since when do you get compensated merely for entering a contest? Sounds very fishy although the contest itself was legitimate. I am sure whoever the winner was, wouldn’t have to go searching to find out but would be notified by the company.

Congratulations!

Please respond to this email and confirm you are at least 18 years of age and are a legal US Resident

Thank you and congratulations.

The above email was sent to me and then a paper check in the amount of $200 3-4 weeks later. This was generated after I answered an email for the sweepstakes. The check is from Cohen-Friedberg Associates, LLC a TA client from what I have been able to research. The check is from Bank of America but they refused to verify the merchant. I have done this before in my job. Bank of America said it was a privacy issue. I don't understand that at all.

I contacted Carrie in the above email for a listing of winners. No response yet. Many contests and sweepstakes typically provide a list of winners, if you ask.

I was hoping some other TA "peers" received this same email and check. That's why I used this forum.

I figured it was probably a scam but the email seems appropriate.

How would you suggest I contact TA directly about this ???

Just because the company may be a client of TA, this still has nothing to do with TA and I very much doubt they will give you any information other than what you can find for yourself with a quick Google search. Any dealings they may have would be confidential.

I don't know anything about this but it smells dodgy to me.
