Sweepstakes winners are NOT required to pay before receiving their prize. Therefore, if you have received a phone call or have been mailed notification that you have won a sweepstakes and need to send money before receiving your prize, you most likely are about to be scammed. Over the past few years, The American Sweepstakes & Promotion Company has advised consumers not to fall prey to these frauds. Unfortunately, these thieves have been using our name and logo and even copying our website in order to appear legitimate.
If you have been informed that you have won a sweepstakes and are asked for money please contact your State Attorney General www.naag.org or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) consumer complaint assistant www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
