I have been getting calls all week from a rewards company, and I have just been ignoring them because they were obviously scams. I received a call this morning from a weird number in Jaimaca, so I decided to answer it thinking it may be true. Of course, it was a guy telling me all about how I won a 2015 Mercedes Benz and $1.9 million because I had shopped at a Walmart or Walgreens spending over $15-$20. I have spent a lot of money at Walmart recently so I thought , ok maybe. Then he started telling me all this info about how I needed to go to a western union for a claimers receipt which I would pay $199 for and be compensated with my money. I started toying with him saying ok you're not coming to my house, so can this be delivered to my school? He said sure sure! I said ok well I am under age so do my parents need to be there? He said no you won fair and square you take the money which is bull because as a 17 year old girl , I know that it doesn't matter what you do any legal matters involve parents. I got off the phone looked up the company name and this site was the first to pop up. The "ups lady" called me as I was typing and I told her that I know this is a scam I looked it up on the Internet and there are thousands of scam reviews for you and hung up. I guess they like to target "dumb broke college kids".
I recieved a call stating that John Summers was with the fruad dept. in Jamacia and that he was handeling my account. He stated that I had won 1.5million dollars and he gave me a batch number and told me not to speak with anyone other then him. This man is bad man. Don't fall for what he has to say.
I received a phone call to my home telling me that I had been awarded the major sum of $550,000. He asked me how I felt about that? I picked up a pencil and paper and started writting everything that was said to me.
When I asked who the award was from the man said the American Cash Awards Company.
I then asked him what my obligation was since I was receiving a reward. He said that there was no obligation as my name had been picked at random as a buyer from a major company such as WalMart, or ? However, there was a small processing fee that I would need to pay for handling of $499.00. I said that I would be glad to do this once I had the awarded amount in hand.
He said that he understood that and that I should go to CSV or ? ? and buy a Green Dot money scratch card for $499 and then I could give this to them when I received the cash.
I told him that I was not fimiliar with his company and he said he understood and asked me to call 1-876-843-8982 and give them his name (John Anderson) and the person would confirm the offer and validate that he was authorized to provide this information to me.
He told me that he was calling from New York and that his number was 315-289-1788. I was to call him back after I had called and confirmed the offer so he could make the necessary arrangements to deliver the funds to me.
I thanked him and hung up.
I then googled the American Cash Awards Company and found that there were quite a number of issues related to their reliability. The Rip off Report had 80+ reports on them as a scam. I also called my daughter and she told me that her neighbor was recently called by them and she called them back. They kept her on the line for an hour and the phone company charged her for the call. Her husband finally told her to hang up as he was sure it was a scam.
Mr Anderson called three times and told me I had won 1,5 million from American Cash Award co. . He indicated he is the CEO, Manager , and this is not a fraud deal, but the "truth: Tolf me to go to Western Union and wire them $200 for a charge thay were to collect re: Irs. This is could be wone fro any shopping trip to Wal Mart or a number of organizations where I might shop (K-mart, etc.) No phone Number identity . This is the 3 time I have been contacted by this same organization, but the last time they were representing Publisher Clearing House.
I received a phone call from a man called John White with a Jamaican accent. He told me that I had won American Cash Award prize of $17.2 million, a 2014 Mercedes and $70,000 cash. He said all I would need to do was go to Rite-Aide or Walmart and purchase a green money pak scratch card for $385. Then I was to call 1-876-818-4979 and they would then meet me to give me my car and cash. Really sounds great doesn't it....
