Amazon – Authentic or Scammer?
Amazon’s StorytellerUK2017 contest deadline is May 19, 2017.
Attached is a copy of the rules and information I received on the Amazon’s Storytelleruk2017 contest. .
I cannot determine if this is a legitimate contest or a scam.
I have access to Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome, and AOL. I also have wifi. Both my husband (a software engineer) I and have repeatedly tried to submit to the contest but have not been able to access whatever link on the Amazon UK’s Storyteller site is necessary to submit my book.
In addition to this, I have sent Amazon numerous requests via email for information; every request for information has gone unanswered. But Amazon has sent me a form asking me to tell them what a great job they are doing.
Yesterday, after having been disconnected several times and hung up on several times before I could ask any questions, I finally reached Christine at 1-888-280-4331. By her voice, I suspect that she was answering the phone from Amazon’s India call center. Not only did I have problems understanding her, but she repeatedly said had never heard of the Storyteller competition.
Finally, she turned the phone over to Katy. I described in great detail the Storyteller contest, read her all the links posted, and asked for information on how to enter the contest. She too admitted that she had never heard of the Amazon Storyteller competition. She also admitted that there was something wrong when my husband, a software engineer (he has worked for over 50 years for defense contractors) could not access a link on Amazon’s site or figure out how to submit my book. She took my email address and my phone number and promised to get the answer for me. I never heard from her.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would check with your sources or anyone else you think is appropriate and tell me if this is a legitimate contest or a scam. If it is legitimate, is there any way to find out how to submit my book? Considering what has occurred, I would probably need detailed directions.
Since the last date for submission is May 19, 2017, I would need all information as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
