Scott Disick And Kim Kardashian Allegedly Use Instagram For Shady Scam
Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick allegedly participated in a fake lottery scam. As a result, Kardashian and Disick face a $40 million lawsuit. And according to the plaintiffs, the two KUWTK stars used their Instagram accounts to hype deluxe prizes for a contest that never resulted in winners, according to Page Six.
Both Kim and Scott created Instagram posts that promoted contests. And in their social media, the two celebrities promised fans who entered the contests all sorts of prizes. For instance, the opportunities allegedly included first-class tickets to Los Angeles, a three-night stay in Beverly Hills, and $100,000. But the plaintiffs accuse Kardashian and Disick of a scam.
The group of plaintiffs, all of whom participated in Kim’s and Scott’s contests without winning, allege that Kim, Scott, and Curated Businesses faked the lottery campaign. Curated Businesses is a company that organizes the lotteries. But the firm defended itself by claiming legitimate winners, along with paperwork proving that real people won.

Kim Kardashian And Scott Disick – Sued In Alleged Online Scheme
In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that Kardashian and Disick made money by selling the contestant participants’ personal details to advertisers. As a result, they claim that they all got “invaded by hundreds of advertisers, some of which are soliciting the Plaintiffs with potentially offensive and unwanted content.” However, Disick allegedly worked as primary organizer of the lotteries.
But Scott then reportedly teamed up with celebrities including Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kim Kardashian to promote the contests to their Instagram followers. Although all those members of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians clan participated, the lawsuit only names Kim and Scott. As a result, the plaintiffs reportedly demand $20 million from each defendant.
However, Curated Businesses defends itself. And on its website, it lists contest winners from 2019 to 2022. Because the company is based on Australia, Curated Businesses references that nation. And the site claims, “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.”
