I won the GIF contest 3 days ago and received an email saying that I'd be receiving another email soon from Helloworld with an eligibility form I needed to fill out, but I still haven't received that email from Helloworld. Is this normal? Should the email still be coming to me soon, or was there an error?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I received this email today (twice). From [edit: email address removed]. After reading the contest winner form, I believe this is an IDENTITY THEFT SCAM. There is absolutely no reason why you should have to include your social security number!
Email reads as follows:

You are wrong about the socail security being a scam? We entered the giveaway and each time we made a meme on their GIFS we entered our email.. I also got 2 email. I also did some digging into the company that is asking for our SS #'s .. The company looks fine with me and reading more into it, seems like "the sponsors are REQUIRED to provide SSN's to the IRS for tax purposes. Even if you win a hundred bucks in a radio contest, their paperwork has to reflect where the money went." I got that from a different forum. So do a little bit more reasearch to come to your own conclusion.. im sending mine in and i will return here to comment when i get it..
Sending mine in today we'll see what happens.
Did u just get an email, im guessing people arent claiming them so it goes down the line.
Here is the winners list.. are you guys on there? I am .. http://winlists.eprize.com/228703.pdf
