Q: Every so often I receive notices of sweepstakes through the mail which I believe are legitimate. But last week I received a sweepstake offer with the title âSweepstakes Audit Bureauâ which offered $12,000,000.00. The entry data claim form requested that I send them a $5 fee for Research and Data Processing. I have never heard of this sweepstake and especially one asking for money so I believe this was a scam. Am I correct?
