Did your friend win anything?

Because I signed up for the same contest and was selected as a finalist allso.

One thing I noticed right off the bat is that they always said "HURRY!" One things scams offten urge.

Allso I found a place on the internet where it said there winner of one year at there anual confrence, after some checking was done they found she didn't even have a poem on the sight yet.

They allso keep wanting me to buy things. And I tried replying to one of there messages on e-mail and I got a think that said it was an invalid address...

Now I am not saying they ARE a scam... but I personaly have my doupts about there total honesty.

However congradulations on you poem and I hope you do well. Whatever happens DON'T stop writing!! Not if you injoy it! The best to you.

Poetry.com is huge and well known scam.
Because you have to pay the people to get the poem published.

I know because I've gone through those people
and if you go to www.pw.org you can find about those scams.

And now I want enter my poem into with an entry fee.

I didn't have to give an entry fee for entering my poem or for getting it published... but I still agree with you that they are a scam.
