Fishy design competitions

[usarender]

It has come to our attention some postings on these communities that need us as designers to be wise in our choices.

We see on this site -->>

Competitions with sites registered as proxies, no contact information to the company.

No way to know if the company exists, if the project is legitimate, if the prize will in fact be rewarded.

A note for all to be very careful before giving out your private information to strangers, as there are groups out there today who are gathering private information from designers to seek to create scams and get your money.

They send out e-mails and notes claiming you are the winner of an award, or that they wish to send you something, then request your personal information as a way to them scam you later on.

A note for all to be ware!
