Upstate Scam
What a crock of shit:
When I read that, I thought to myself, "Self, you're pretty good at creative writing. You might consider taking a few moments to throw your hat into the ring." Then I read further...
In other words, it's just a variation on the classic scam: place an ad in the back of a magazine that says "Send me five dollars and I'll tell you how to make a million dollars."
Dear Cabin Owners, here's my entry:
GO.
FUCK.
YOURSELF.
The person who wins an essay contest will be the proud new owner of a lakefront vacation home in Upstate New York.
When I read that, I thought to myself, "Self, you're pretty good at creative writing. You might consider taking a few moments to throw your hat into the ring." Then I read further...
The essay winner will have to best answer the question: “How would owning the lakefront dream home change your life?” in 200 words or less. There is also a $149 entry fee. According to AJC.com, the couple that owns the property have not been able to sell the cabin.
