    We found no new information in ************************ response of 1/31/23, therefore, we have nothing to add to our original letter dated 1/30/23. ******************* has never done business with us and we have removed him from our future promotions.
    We encourage ******************* to call us at the number listed in our first letter to discuss his concerns, or, visit our web site for more information.

    Because I think they are getting over on all of the people receiving these letter. They might as well tell us nothing. I know that just because a company has as much money as they do doesn't give them the right to push us people around and that's what I feel like there trying to do

    I continue to receive information stating I have an unclaimed prize winning of 12 million dollars. They suggest I sign the form and send them $5.00 right away to claim my prize. I have reported this to the Attorney General Office in the past and requested that they do not send me any more letters, they have failed to honor my request.

    I have received this letter today 10/15/2022 from sweepstakes audit bureau, located in Dallas, Texas. First thing I did was pull up the BBB as I'm know for the scammer to want to get.. It's for me to claim my "$12,000,000". Just wanted to report this for a complaint against them, so they can be stopped. People work hard for what little we have or I have, I should say. I don't need anyone trying to take any more from me. Hope no one falls for this anymore, Stop the scamming!!!!!
