Why would you feel it necessary to pay to enter a competion? I feel that this is just a scam by people for money. The prize may be $300, $500 or whatever, but what you really need to ask is how many people have entered, we're talking global intenet here, how many would you think? 1000, 10,000, 100,000 or more... at $3.00 a time... think about it?? Just my opinion.

Thanks for posting those competitions Susi! :) It's nice to be able to see those and offers people information. I do agree with The Art though to some extent, but many competitions have an entry fee. It is always important on anything where money is involved online that you read all of the fine print to make sure you're not going to get scammed.
