I got a call from a gentleman who said his name was Harvey ******** He knew that I had been talking with James ******* who said he was with ********** ******** ****** ******* told me he was a scam and that he, ******* was the real deal. He said I won 2.5 million dollars. First I had to pay $3500 for the State to state stamp to move the money from back east to the west coast. Then I had to pay 800 for storage. Now he tells me the money is tied up with the FTC because I have to pay $5,000 in taxes to get the money. He said that happens with about every fifth winner. Usually they just give the money and you pay the taxes out of your winnings. That's when he tells me he is not with ********** ******** ***** but with American Cash Rewards. Because I had called *** and they did not have anyone with that name in their organization. I then looked up American Cash Rewards and saw all the complaints. I believed him up to this. I can't get $5,000 and he wants me to send him all the money I do have and they will release $50,000 so I can pay the $5,000 and the $9,000 that my bank is overdrawn from the other guy who sent me a check and and then 2 weeks later rescinded it. I am out a lot if money and am ashamed that I believed in him.Initial Complaint

This fellow from American cash rewards has hassled me for over a year about 3x a month. He calls stating I've one $800K, $4.5million, $5.5 million and now today $7.5million. He has called representing American Cash Awards,**********************************************. It has been the same fellow with the same mundane nauseating heavy lisped speech. Uses different names and never receive a call from him from same number. Have spoke to him 3-4x a day at times with his number showing as different places throughout the USA like from New York then an hour later from Seattle or Kentucky, Tennessee etc. So tries to get me to purchase gift cards and submit the info then they will be here in am with prize patrol, or awards crew along with media in numbers, but only if I'm ok with that. The man has the intelligence of a sloth and speaks as slowly as a sloth moves. The man is persistent, I've messed with him many a times leaving him on hold for 45 minutes to find he's still on other end when I pick my phone up again. Usually I play the duck pretending to not understand what he's asking me to do then saying I understand only for him to call back or me call him back with all the instructions he's given all messed up. He gets agitated and attempts to explain with me on other end asking every 39 seconds Howe I get my money, I'm already a millionaire so will fly to where he is to get the cheque prize and will be bringing Canadian media with me. Tell him lies that I have family members who work for or inside the organization he works for amd I'll have them come down to see him to grab my winnings etc. He plays it out over 3 -4 days sometimes spending 2-3 hours a day with me trying to get those purchases card receipt numbers and numbers from the cards. I'll play along letting him call me, me calling back asking who it is and what they want right after we've hung up. I play 2-3 days then won't answer the US calls for up to a week then they stop for 2-3 weeks and he tries again.Initial Complaint

My husband got a call informing him he was a sweepstakes winner. Of $5.5million a ******** and a suitcase full of cash. Long story short $3000 later and a pile of lies of course there is no promised delivery. My husband is 82 and gullible and trusting!!! "American cash awards". Is a scam. We don't have $3000 to lose but it's gone. Of course the money was all sent by gift cards!
