CHICAGO (AP) - April 9, 2009 The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center said this week that a
circulating e-mail was advertising the "Oprah Millionaire Contest
Show," which asks recipients for contact information. It also says
those who apply have a chance to win $1 million.
The bureau says the e-mail is fraudulent and not from Winfrey or
her show's production company, or Harpo Productions.
Harpo has posted a warning about the scam on the show's Web
site. It says authorities told them at least a dozen scams
currently promise tickets, travel and money from the Chicago-based
show.
