Khloe Kardashian is accused of ‘SCAMMING’ fans as she promotes luxury products giveaway: ‘Does anybody ever win these things?’<\/h2>\n

Khloe Kardashian has been accused of ‘scamming’ fans as she promoted a new contest on social media.<\/p>\n

The reality star, 39, took to Instagram on Tuesday where she told fans she was doing a giveaway of several designer products with PR firm HighKey Clout.<\/p>\n

In the video, Khloe stood clutching a Birkin bag while surrounded by several other high end products\u00a0 including bags from Gucci and Louis Vuitton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She told fans: ‘High Key and I are so excited to be giving away some fabulous prizes. This Berkin bag and all these other prizes could be yours.’<\/p>\n

However, many of the star’s fans were skeptical of the contest, with many wondering whether a winner would actually be chosen.<\/p>\n

Khloe Kardashian has been accused of ‘scamming’ fans as she promoted a new contest on social media<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reality star, 39, took to Instagram on Tuesday where she told fans she was doing a giveaway of several designer products with PR firm HighKey Clout<\/p>\n

One user wrote: ‘I see these giveaways a lot I really want to know does anybody ever win these things.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another agreed, adding: ‘They never post the winner, if the lottery can post the winner they can too’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A third wrote: ‘Am I the only one that notices these giveaway never announce and post the winners?’<\/p>\n

A fourth penned: ‘No one will win though,’ while another added: ‘And somehow the posts are deleted afterwards’.<\/p>\n

Khloe is not the first member of the Kardashian clan to come under fire for social media giveaways.<\/p>\n

Last year, her older sister Kim and Scott Disick were named in a $40 million lawsuit over promoting luxury prizes in 2020 that were allegedly part of a fake lottery scam.<\/p>\n

The pair were named in a lawsuit along with the Australian company Curated for a giveaway which was allegedly a front to sell personal information to advertisers,\u00a0TMZ\u00a0reported on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winners of the original giveaway were supposed to receive $100,000 dollars, two first-class tickets to Los Angeles and a three-night stay in Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

Reaction: Many of the star’s fans were skeptical of the contest, with many wondering whether a winner would actually be chosen<\/p>\n

The publication reported that once the winners were announced, their Instagram accounts quickly changed from public to private.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources close to Curated, which ran the contest with the help of myriad celebrities on social media, told TMZ that the contest was legitimate and they have documentation to prove it.<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim that contestants have been ‘invaded by hundreds of advertisers, some of which are soliciting the Plaintiffs with potentially offensive and unwanted content.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later on in the suit, the integrity of Kardashian, Disick and other entertainment heavyweights are called in to question.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Just a short 20 years ago, Oprah was giving away cars and cash,’ it reads. ‘But today’s entertainment tycoons seem to only care about becoming richer and living an even more opulent lifestyle, while duping their fans and followers.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lawsuit also alleges that other celebrities used their respective Instagram accounts to promote the contest as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawsuit:\u00a0Last year, Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick were named in a $40 million lawsuit over promoting luxury prizes in 2020 that were allegedly part of a fake lottery scam<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Named in the suit:\u00a0The pair were both named in a lawsuit along with the Australian company Curated for a giveaway which was allegedly a front to sell personal information to advertisers<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Huge prize package:\u00a0Winners of the original giveaway were supposed to receive $100,000 dollars, two first-class tickets to Los Angeles and a three-night stay in Beverly Hills<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

About personal wealth:\u00a0‘Just a short 20 years ago, Oprah was giving away cars and cash,’ it reads. ‘But today’s entertainment tycoons seem to only care about becoming richer and living an even more opulent lifestyle, while duping their fans and followers’<\/p>\n

Under the frequently asked questions section of the website, there is one which read, ‘How is the winner selected?’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Curated Businesses responded: ‘We engage the services of a third party facilitator to conduct a random draw of all eligible entrants.<\/p>\n

‘They are Australian government approved and compliant. As required by Australian law, we also engage the services of fully qualified independent scrutineer to oversee the random draw.’<\/p>\n

It pointed out Kendall Jenner, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Sofia Richie,\u00a0Gretchen Christine Rossi and Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn all promoted the giveaway as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Giving power to a third party: Curated Businesses responded: ‘We engage the services of a third-party facilitator to conduct a random draw of all eligible entrants’<\/p>\n

Despite the number of other celebrities mentioned in the suit, only Kim and Disick were named as defendants.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs asked for\u00a0more than $20 million a piece from Kardashian, Disick and Curated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year was fraught with legal drama for Kim with her brother Rob’s ex Blac Chyna suing the Kardashian family for defamation and her skincare brand SKKN getting hit with a trademark lawsuit by a Brooklyn-based small business owner.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
