It states that I would get this money if I gave them a fee of $20 or less to process the paperwork. How legit is this? If people do win sweepstakes, do they have to pay to receive money?

you have been scam!! don't ever send money to get money. on 20/20 they report on this kind of activity to warn others about it. Its a scam, when you win money from these lottery. Why would you have to send money to get what you have won? Now, thinking about this for a minute. Let's said you play the lottery here in the state (Meg Millions or Powerball) when you win the jackpot. What is your next step to claim your prize?
A) do you send the lottery board $25.00 for your cash.
B) You rush down to the claim office and show them the winning ticket and proof of ID. to collect your prize.
Now, if you chose A..then their next step they will ask for more money to claim your prize. Due to other fees that you have to clear, they will keep this up much as possible and counting on your greed to continue. Basically they will milk for much as they can until you come to your sense that you been had. its a scam!

If you won a legit contest, you would not have to pay any fees to receive the money. They're trying to dupe you. Don't fall for it. Just shred the letter and forget about it.

deliver them a short letter be conscious-processed letter annoying your money. make it short and to the point, dont curse, vulgarize or threaten them. Double verify to substantiate spelling& grammar is sweet.tell them you'll take them to small declare courtroom and tell your tale to the community media in the adventure that they dont pay you what's owed without delay. keep a replica, then watch for pymnt. in the period in-between, study your community small cl courtroom methods. in the adventure that they merely owe you $40, it would no longer also be well worth a at the same time as. Im certain the sm cl crt filing fee is more advantageous than that, yet tell them in ltr you'll search for compensation of crt csts also+any time ignored from artwork. . strong success, wish you get your $$$

That's the way some people make a living. Screwing hard working people out of $20 each. You stand a better chance of getting something for your money by buying lottery tickets.....

If they ask for money it is a scam. You should try to look them up on BBB.org. You may also want to contact your local police and see if they have had any reports of this scam.
