There was another winner of that contest who was surprised by a visit from the Rolling Stones, when he was visiting the Exhibisionism in London

I thought I should check in with my Stones friends here on IORR before I make another move! Here's my story: I entered a contest awhile ago," Who's The Greatest Rolling Stones Fan." It required that I describe why I feel I am one of their biggest fans. I wrote my piece, submitted it and basically forgot about it. Until yesterday. I received an email from POD SERVICES telling me I was one of the winners. Right away I thought to myself, NO WAY! The list of prizes would boggle your brain..everything from front row tickets, to lithographs, back stage passes etc. They said that I had to provide a proper ID and that they would want me to provide a video of some sort after I received my prizes so they could place them on their social media sites.
I asked that someone call me to answer a few questions. No call yet. I just want to know if anyone here entered a contest like this, have you been notified, and what do you think about this? Is it for real or just a big scam?? Now I will say, the email telling me I'd won came with an attachment showing the certificate of authenticity signed by Mick Jagger and a guitar in a gig bag with an amp in a box. The box read THE ROLLING STONES. Your input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is it that same legitimate contest?
That was always a con, they were looking for a male aged 20-50 and it was posted by an acting agency. The winner was an actor.Quote

Thanks everyone. I provided no personal info other than my address & phone..no license numbers etc. The contests that were shown here are not like mine and I am trying to research POD SERVICES. If only I had made a copy of my entry...I can't remember WHO was unning that contest but it did seem like a REAL contest. Cristiano, I wish I had a link to show here.I don't know if I entered the contest from the EXHIBITIONISM website but I don't think so. I entered AFTER that contest winner was announced.
Thanks Mr DJA!! I will play along! I hope to get a reply to my email that I sent with a few questions. I'll let you all know what happens but I am feeling pretty duped right now....hope I can find out the source!!! It will be UGLY if I find them! Again, thanks one and all!

This is not helping me GREEK!!!! LOL!!! Shame on you! So, even though I was sent a PICTURE of the guitar that " I WON" and the certificate signed by Mick, this is STILL considered a SCAM?? Guess so! OK, so how do I scare the crap out of these scammers? I think they deserve to be punished! I am not THAT easily fooled, usually. This was pretty elaborate, trust me! POD SERVICES even has a phone/landline! Would anyone else fel the urge to GET THEM and if so, how would you go about it?
I am sorry , i just got Far away eyes in my brain because of Schillid (and i really love the song )( and once i had the pleasure of the Glimmers performing this gem for us at Giants stadium 9/27/06) (what a thrill of a lifetime it was let me tell you )Quote
