SCAM ALERT - Chris Kyle Memorial Raffle

Call me dumb, but I fell for a Chris Kyle Memorial Raffle scam. It looks legit to me but here’s the facts.

They state the raffle is all going to (diver/war hero) Chris Kyle’s family. You may recall he was killed at a shooting range by a sick sholdier he was helping. Anyway, the raffle tickets are stated to be one price but the charge card charges are significiantly higher. I contacted them to complain and they never responded so I notified my card company. Meanwhile, the raffle charged a second charge for a different amount.

It’s a scam. If you bought any tickets, better check your credit card account and keep watch over it.
