Remember that most companies are honest. They offer contest and sweepstakes to attract potential customers. However, it is still important to safeguard yourself and your family as well. Legitimate contests should make personal information optional and no purchase should be necessary. A common form is usually required to enter. Forms include your name, address, phone, Date of Birth and an email address (online contests).
