It was concerning that I reply immediately and said that I was a prize winner of sweepstakes. I have to send in 100.00 dollars for a required fee. Where is this company from? I have entered in some sweepstakes....but don't know for sure exactly which one this one is? I need to know where it's from before I send the money out.

Did you actually sign for the mail or was the envelope just marked certified? If you entered a sweepstakes and won I wonder why they would want you to send $100.00.
I have received mail many times stating that had won a sweepstakes which I had not entered. But they were always mass mailings and all asked for money. They all got tossed.

It's a scam. Don't be an idiot to fall for it.
Prizewinners of sweepstakes NEVER pay anything!
If you send money, you'll never hear from them again and you'll lose your $100.

DON'T SEND THE MONEY!! IT'S A SCAM!!! No legitimate prize would have you send a 'fee' to collect it.
If you're really that desperate to get rid of money, give it to a church. At least then you know it went to a good cause.

I don't know where that company is located. But BBB will let you know. Rule of thumb though, if they want money it is a SCAM. You can contact them at BBB.COM Hope this helps.
