I vaguely remember entering a drawing a few weeks ago, but I'm hesitant filling out this claim form for a few reasons.
1) I'm not 100% sure that this is real, call me paranoid, but I've had companies try to phish me before.
2) I get enough junk mail as it is, if getting my name put onto a mailing list just to claim this prize is required, I don't want it.
3) I'm not a big fan of Neopets anymore. I pop in every few weeks, but after they destroyed the drawing with the whole customizable pets thing I haven't been able to forgive them
But then again... I like free stuff. xD Any thoughts about this?
