This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I to am a victim of this Sweepstakes audit Bureau scam, Global Reporting Network scam, Opportunities Unlimited Publication scam, and Entertainment Award Center scam. What got me started with them is someone called me on the phone and said that I was going to be a winner . I thought it was from Publishers Clearing House. They all were Fraud Companies looking to fleece you and me. It start with $5.00 dollars and go as high as $40.00 dollars. You had to pay $11.75 to claim your Prize or pay for a claim certificate over and over again and again. Are we going to only complaint about the money lost? Are we going to do something about it? Here is an address to write to about this company so that they will stop fleecing others out of there little money.

I made this mistake of sending them $5.00 on three separate occasions.

I would have been wiser to send my money to support the homeless because if I keep sending them money that is exactly where I will be. Noone will ever get anything out of these scammers except homeless and heartache.

I just got the paper work as well but I always research things to see if its legit. So just for future reference to anyone, if it ever asks for a fee its not real...no matter how pleasant it may sound sorry. Here's how you know the difference. Sweepstakes by law always have to be free. No matter what. Its free to enter and free to receive. Lotteries are different you almost always have to pay something to enter, but to receive the money its also free. Contests you may sometime have to pay something up front to compete and you may have to pay something in the end. Just be careful there is always someone out to scam. Good luck!
