Letter - claims I won
This fraudulent business called ""Sweepstakes Audit Bureau just Sent me a letter today asking for me to send them $5 so I could get 12 million. Really? Why would anyone send in $5 to get 12 million? Utter stupidity. Will the authorities look into this? I wonder if they really get people to send them $5? Please find these dumb people and lock them up.

letter claiming chance to win 12000,000.00
I received said letter and sent five dollars (5.00) what a jerk I was when I mostly never pay attention to any of these letters. This time I thought it was real!!! no chance of a return of five dollars--lesson learned!!! my own fault. I believed the Audit Sweepstakes Bureau was legitimate--why are these fraudulent prize reports allowed to continue scamming hones persons.

Mail received requesting money to send me some report
I did a little research on the above named company after receiving in the mail what appeared to be a guarantee of some kind of Sweepstakes winnings or something to that effect. If I return by the deadline and include a minimal fee of $5. It appears this is a scam and I'm just letting whomever know they are still in operations. Personally this is the first time I've won and that's only because I did not send the $5!

sweepstakes scam
I received 2 letters today from this fraudulent company telling me to send them $5.00 for my entry into their sweepstakes to win $12,000, 000.00 and the other letter also told me to send them $5.00 so I could claim my Prize Claim of $10,000.00.
We should file a Class Action Lawsuit against these scammers and shut them down! I'm going to reach out to the Texas State Attorney General's Office also and file a Consumer Complaint.

sweepstakes entry that I paid for several different times. (I know now, it was a big mistake)
I received several letters saying I could be the winner of 12, 000, 000.00 in the first few letters it didn't ask for money & I filled out & sent back hoping to win. But then I started getting letters saying they'd send me reports with all sweepstakes available to enter for a fee of $5 or $15 & they'd enter them for me & then send me a report about it, plus do a worldwide search to check see if I'd won without knowing about it. To try cut this short. I was a dumb a*s & ended up sending a total of $75 & just yesterday I got another letter & I sent them a long letter letting them know how I felt. Now today I get another one. By the way I Never Won Anything!!! Help, What should I do?

letter re: fraud letter sweepstakes
I received a letter telling me I had won a sweepstakes for 12, 000, 000.00, and I needed to send $5.00 processing fee. I am 68, and this appears to be someone preying on the elderly. I wonder how many checks they received for $5.00? This fraud should be investigated by someone of authority in Dallas, Texas. It is a shame that this ordination is able to use the US Postal Service to mail this type of fraud letter to the elderly.

scam prize funds, $12,000,000 unclaimed

Today I received a notice from Sweepstakes Audit Bureau with a Dallas, TX, P.O. Box address.
The letter sounded and looked very official, claiming that there was $12, 000, 000 in unclaimed prize money. It I just sent them a one time research and data fee of $5.00, "which must be assessed for each report", and fill out the enclosed Entry Data Claim Form, I will be eligible "for over $12, 000, 000 in sweepstakes money and prizes".

laptop computer, android tablet, and sewing machine with accessories.
Above items on a Layaway Plan with company. Sent check which was returned by Post Office for being "undeliverable".
I phoned company and automated voice said the number was no longer in service. Could not leave message on the
company's website either. Have received no communication from the company. I would like to get a refund from
all the money I paid the company per our Layaway Agreement if they are unable to honor the contract. If they do not
contact me to arrange for the refund, then they have committed a Breach of Contract. My question: Since I am not the only
one complaining, has there been any action taken against the company, either individually or by a Class Action
lawsuit? Or can this issue be solved out of court?

The awards director is Rich Brady. They say 12million is the highest unclaimed money. Send 5.00 each time for research and we send it back by a deadline. It never ends. Their is another p.o. box 549012-Dallas Tx. [protected]. But the envelope is p.o. box 131637 Houston Tx, [protected].

Receive letter from this 'Bureau', claim that I had to send them 5$ to process 'my request' for eligibility to win 12, 000, 000$. I needed to send the money alone with completion of the form that came as part of the letter. Definitely a fraudulent group scamming money from people.

I assume they want my bank information so that they can draw out what I have left. Please send a bureau or government department that we can all write to so that we can have these scammers removed and to stop them from doing this to unsuspecting people.

I just received a letter from Sweepstakes Audit Bureau for prize report funds unclaimed . It is asking me to send $5.00 for a research and data fee. I've never known you have to send any money for a sweepstakes unless you have purchased something. So I was sending this message in hopes of finding out if this is really a scam.

I said you gave a different name . His response was we handle the audit I did mentioned my findings he denied it all ask me stop believing what I read .

sweepstakes
THE SWEEPSTAKES AUDIT BUREAU of Dallas, TX. sent me a letter requesting five dollars to enter a sweepstakes. This is suspicious because I have never heard of this company.
I do not believe I will have a chance to win $12 million dollars by entering this sweepstakes, and I would like to see this company prosecuted for sending fraud mail through the US mail service. This is the second letter of this nature I have received from this company this month.
I would be helpful to know how to report such rip-offs to the authorities. This bogus company needs to be shut down and should not be allowed to use the US mail to deliver their scams to the public.
Please, somebody go to this post office box and find out why these people are trying to rip us off.

This so called company sent me a letter stating it's a claim form for a guarantee win of the amount listed above and said to send in $5.00 for a data/research fee. First off what kind of sweepstakes are you guarented to win and request money for? At first I thought is this really true then I read where it asks for money. Um, I don't think so scam artist your not getting not money. Not today, tomorrow and not any other day as well. I don't crap like this and I wish this kind of stuff would stop sending me notices and the phone calls, it's getting ridiculous and very aggravating. These kind of people need stopped and charges need to be pressed for fraud, this is not right by any means and they should not get away with this. If you send in the $5.00 your a fool and you have your head examined for sure. Its got SCAM written all over it. If it was me doing this I would be in jail, so is this happening to us. I'm a private person and don't buy into this kinda crap. Just leave me alone.

unethical behavior
My husband received a letter stating he's in the running for 12, 000, 000.00 all he has to do is send them $5.00 for processing fees. This can be done in the form of cash, check or credit card. This is an outrage. There are way too many senior citizens getting scammed because of these fraudulent scams. These victims often give up their bank/credit card information only to get scammed more. These people should not be allowed to do business anywhere.
