The ads , as far as I am aware , are all placed by google and are aimed at your interests.

I have been looking around the net for a new car lately and most of the ads that come up on my CC pages are now advertising cars that are for sale.:D

As far as winning packages is concerned I have found that most of them are simply putting your name in a draw along with tousands of others for a draw that may or may not happen, and in the mean time they have your address to send more advertising to.

I don't think CC has any say over most of the ads.

It is my understanding they just rake in a small amount from each ad space based on the page views and ad clicks. I would agree with the others that CC would be very unlikely to know what is placed on each person's page. We don't see much of the ads as we use chrome with ad blocker.

If you don't want the ad's, use something like Firefox with Ad-Blocker.;)

Scam or not, I wouldn't do it. I prefer to not take the risk with the "win" deals on forums like this or FB or similar.

No risk. You will win! (As in win pure unmitigated bovine exhaust fodder.)
