If you’re a follower of Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick on Instagram, then you probably have seen their luxury gift giveaways, and some of you may have participated.
However, Kim, 41 and Scott, 39, are being sued for $40 million for promoting luxe prizes on Instagram that are reported to be part of a lottery scam.
People who entered the contests were promised a chance at winning items such as first-class tickets to Los Angeles, a three-night stay in Beverly Hills and even $100,000.
However, despite this claims, sources close to the company ‘Curated Business’ have said on Thursday, “There have definitely been legitimate winners. We have the paperwork to prove it.”
Despite these claims, the plaintiffs (people who participated in the contests, but didn’t win) claim in the lawsuit that Kardashian, Disick, and Curated Businesses organized the contests to sell their personal information to advertisers.
Disick and Kardashian are the only two who have been named in the lawsuit so far. The plaintiffs are seeking $20 million from each defendant.
However, the Australian-based company explains on its website how its process works in its “Frequently Asked Questions” section and has a list of campaign winners from 2019 to 2022 on one of its landing pages.
Under the question “How is the winner selected?,” Curated Businesses responds, “We engage the services of a third party facilitator to conduct a random draw of all eligible entrants.
“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.”
One of the winners listed is a social media user with the handle @nana_billions.
In an August 31 post about the contest’s results on Instagram, she wrote, “Pinch meeeeeeeeee! I’m screaming 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 omg this is surreal! @curatedbusinesses@curated_businesses_legal thank you guys so much! I’m in shock 💃💃💃💃💃💃.”
