    Has anyone else had a problem when they win a prize with the Online FabShopHop?

    I recently won a $100 gift certificate at a site that wasn't even part of the Shop Hop....and they have VERY little fabric to choose from - and a lot of their kits, etc. are either sold out or unavailable at this time.

    I even thought I'd get a pair of scissors - they only offer 2...one is Out of Stock and the other is Back-ordered!!!

    Is this a joke or what?

    you won a gift certificate from a shop not on the hop? Sounds suspicious to me....

    Something isn't right here- might want to send the Shop Hop a message and let them know what is going on

    Please be very careful. That sounds very suspicious. How could you win something from a shop that wasn't in the shop hop? I agree, you should contact the organizers before you send any information to the shop.

    I agree. Is there any place you can contact the Shop Hop organizers?

    That is strange, I agree with the others and would contact the ShopHop people right away. And I wouldn't give the store that offered the "prize" any personal information until they're verified as legitimate.

    I've contacted the Administrators at FabShopHop - hope they get back to me soon....this is weird - since the shop is NOT part of the Hop.
