$500 gift card from fabric.com??
I was checking out yardage requirements and got a pop up saying I won a $500 gift card from fabric.com. This seems too good to be true and I am very leery of getting involved in a scam. Does anyone on the Board know anything about this? I would call fabric.com if it weren't after hours. I sure could be happy spending that card.Thanks.

Sharon B----I was not on their site. I can call tomorrow. The url in the pop up does say www.fabric.com Thanks for the feedback.

i would be leery of a pop- up offer-
i've been shopping with fabric.com for 12 years and have never been that lucky! unless you won through the fabshophop or some legitimate program (which you joined/signed up for) it is a scam- they do not just randomly give things like that out----some scammer is trying to get some personal information from you....pop-ups are best blocked/ignored.

This just happened to me with another well known company and when I called them they directed me to their legal office that goes after these scam artists. Sure glad i followed through and may save someone else the pain but could have used that million dollar deal. LOL.

Be leary of ALL pop-ups. I always delete them without looking no matter what the deal.
(I did go to one a long time ago. Before you could even get to your "goody" you had to answer way too many personal questions. I just stopped and shut it down.)

All your advice was right on. I called Fabric.com this morning and was advised that it was not a legitimate communication from them. Oh, darn. At least I didn't fall for it hook, line and sinker. Thanks to all who responded.
