I had recently gotten a message complimenting my poetry saying that I should upload some of it to a cahllenge site called Tallenge to possibly win $500. I was overjoyed at both the compliment and the thought at winning some extra cash. At the same time my internet instincts kicked in telling me to check everything out first and after attemting to move around the cite some warning bells went off in my head. So after a quick google search and some strained effort to find there terms and policies I learned it was a sham and that people had gotten very similar messages for things like writing, art, excetera . The cite essentialy claimes all rights to your work and is a total scam. I REPEAT: IT. IS. A. SCAM!!!! I wish this weren't the case but it is.
Here is the message I got from @AvaGreta so you guys know what to look out for:
I read your poem “Borrowed Body” It's simple and straight from heart
I think you should upload your beautiful writings on Tallenge International Creative Writing Contest with $500 prize.
