American Cash Awards
Caller Promised $2.5 Million and Mercedes Then Cited Tax Fees

I got a phone call this evening from Peter Rodgers of American Cash Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada. He told me that through either credit card rewards, a sweepstakes entry, or a couple of other events, I had won 2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. I figured it was probably a scam, but I was interrupted by my other phone, so I got his phone number to call him back (876-354-9601). Instead of calling him back, I went on the internet and found out that the company had gone out of business and his number is listed as Jamaican.

While I was doing that, I received a phone call from a man named "David Kennedy" with a thick Jamaican accent, telling me he was in customs at UPS, was in my state to deliver my prizes tomorrow, and asked if I had the confirmation number. I told him I didn't get one. He asked for the phone number of who called but wouldn't give me his number to verify it was right, and told me I needed to call Peter back soon. He also said there were tax fees for the attorney general in my state that I would have to pay.

Later I received a phone call from "Peter." When I confronted him with the information I got online, he reassured me the company was legitimate and that I should be wary of scams, and that's why the company re-opened "privately." Furthermore, I should not tell anyone about winning. But UPS would deliver tomorrow after I talked to David and gave him a code he gave me. Then I would be escorted to my bank to cash the check. I told him the only problem with this is I work banker's hours. He said David would call me before I go to work tomorrow. I'm having fun. Guess I'm bored.
