I signed up for a baby photo contest called the Great American Photo Contest. We have a new baby in our extended family and I have taken some photos of the little guy that are very popular with the rest of our family group. They promise a $2500 prize for the photo that gets the most votes. Well, once you sign up and submit a photo, it becomes clear that you have to provide a great deal of personal information to enter this contest. I became suspicious when there was a long list of "free offers" and that signing up for a free offer was a requirement of entering the contest. The list was the usual higher education, reduce debt, that I associate with something fishy.

I backed out from joining the "contest" and I have since filled out an unsubscribe request twice from the Great American Photo Contest, but I have been getting two a day emails from them, all worded differently, all asking me to copy a link for my family and friends so they can all vote for the baby photo that I initially up linked to them.

They use photocontest@greatamericanphotocontest.com in their messages, with some variations on that, one being a back-slash 'messages'

Anyone else have experience with Great American Photo Contest?
