Sweepstakes and lottery scams are nothing new, but sometimes, there's an influx in cases that prompts a warning. That's the situation right now in metro Detroit.
The Better Business Bureau said this is one of eight cases reported to the metro Detroit office in the last three months. Two of those cases were asking the consumer to verify the purchase of an expensive Apple product.
