American Shoppers Awards (Frank Jemison)
Consumer Report

It all started in june. Frank Jemison notified me that i won 450,000.00. I told him i wanted some documentation of this and to e-mail me the docs. He claims that he worked for the F.T.C. He has his own business that sweepstake companies will contact him to make the delivery and all the details. First he wanted me to use a credit card with debt on it and he had a account set up in my name to cover my debt then turn around and send the same amount to a person that handles the insurance. It turned out after the credit card was paid off
it came back the account was frozen. I flipped out at him because now i had 2500 added to my credit card plus fees.
He told me that they had a check for me. Then the check that i received was from he said a stock holder in his company. He said to deposit it (3,900) then wait for it to clear and send a mrs Jane Thompson 3,500 so i could pay the tax on my winnings and when i receive my winnings, they have all the money owed to me.
Then on july 17 Frank was going to bring my check to my home. Well i got a call from my bank that i had a overdraft of 1,000.in my account because the check was bad. Even though the back told me it had cleared. I called Frank Jemison to tell him but he didn't answer. I left him a message. He said he was upset and turned around in columbia sc. And was going to get my money back.
And that my winning check was deposited in a bank in SC.
I taked to him finally after a few days. He told me that he
was trying to get my 7000.00 back. But it would take time
I told him that my bank account is so messed up i need the
money asap. So i told him to just give me my winning check
since i've payed everything and worry about the 7000.00 later. So he said that he could do that. Well then he tells
me that the bank needs verification of my signature and to
send a blank check with my signature and write a special
code for verification on the right side on the back. I told him are you crazy!!! I'am in 7000.00 debt now who ever receives this could put any amount and cash it and i would be responsible for it. At this point he told me that the ball is in my court and do that or no money..
I e-mailed him July 30th and asked him to please ask the
board of directors to just give me my money without another check for verification. He claims he's trying to get
me my money to me... He doesn't answer my phone calls
but he does e-mail me as of this morning at 7:04am. At this point i feel so stupid and ashamed. And broke. I still want to believe he is trying. I do have people addresses and weird, one persons bank acct. If you need this information.
But i work so hard for my money i'am a waitress and was just getting caught up with my bills, and it's going to take along time to get back on track. Please help..
