Remington 870- 10 million made! Free shotgun?

[Mgderf]

Found this in the USA Today 9-24-09

Did a search and could not find any reference.

Would you like to WIN a model 870?

Remington - 10,000,000 870s and Going Strong.

INGO MEMBER PUDLY HAS EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THIS IS A PHISHING SCAM!

Take it for what it's worth.

 

[JcJ]

Damn you!!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mgderf again.

 

[printcraft]

Thanks!

They also have a camo version up for a giveaway too.

Wow! This smells really fishy. This isn't a Remington site that is collecting all of your personal info. The Remington site doesn't mention 10 million guns and has their own giveaway going on. This smells like phishing folks. I don't recommend entering (and no, I'm not trying to increase my odds by keeping people out). What is broco.com anyway?

 

[Mgderf]

Thanks!

Damn you Where was THAT one? I missed it!

Can you enter for BOTH? I entered for the standard, and decided to pass it on to other Ingo'ers and didn't even look any further on the site.

Guess you know where I'll be for the next few minutes!

CAUTION!

I just received a PM from Ingo member Pudly?

He says he thinks this is a scam!

Take it for what it is worth. I do NOT know Pudly or his reputation here.

Please understand that if this link IS a "phishing scam" as he asserts, I'm the FIRST to be hit. I would NOT intentionally do that.

Aw crap!

If I start getting email from a Nigerian Prince with trouble
getting $14,000,000.00 out of a trust account
and he needs my help with a "banking fee" then
your butt is grass and I'm a mower!!!!

I was JUST getting ready to pm you with Pudly's assertions!

I HOPE he's wrong!

.........What is broco.com anyway?

Looks to be an advertising agency out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Maybe Remington uses them

I don't know what you are looking at?
The only info. they REQUIRE to enter is your name, email address, and zip-code! OMG it's a conspiracy!

I have no idea what broco.com is.

That is probably the case. Very, very sorry for the alarm. They do have some links with Remington based on their Brett Favre add on their home page.

Their site had the following classic phishing flags:
-Copied graphics/etc from Remington.
-Key links point to their own site, but less important ones point to Remington.
-Link sends you to a site other than Remington.

I've found info stating that,

Nothing bad found so far.. It's not like they are asking for any info that means jack..

Some discussion @ calguns
Ten Million 870s - Page 2 - Calguns.net

Update: DEEP in the site, there is a teeny tiny link in the "NEWS" section (Press Releases/Press/Corporate news) that then REDIRECTS you to the page "Remington.bronco ...", so it looks like it is legit, but GEEZ! You would think that such big news would be in a banner on their home page!

Thank you guys for researching that! It would have taken me DAYS, and I may STILL have not found as much!

Reps to both of you!

Thanks for making me wet my pants after already signing up. Oh, thats OK they needed changed anyway. I feel better now!

 

[LEaSH]

Hey, it's better to question everything than it is to doubt nothing.

There are people that will take advantage of you if you let them.

All said - I entered the contests, too. Good luck to all. Would be great to see a INGOer win one.
