American Cash Awards
Reviews and Complaints

I gave my last to this guy named Mark Davis. He was telling me about how he'd pull up with the UPS to send me my money and I never received it. I'm 19 years old yes I still stay at home with my mom and siblings and that was all the money I had .. it really brings me to tears as I write this because I had so much planned and I just can't see why anyone would want to take from somewhere if it's there last. I'm beyond hurt and I need help getting my money back. I work at a minimum wage paying job and I get paid every two weeks. Sometimes my check doesn't even reach 300 dollars and I have to struggle and penny pinch off of that. Someone just help me pls

got about the 5th call today from [protected] telling me I had won $8000000 and a new car. This was a scam and I repoirted in several sights. Also you do not know it but the call is really from Jamaica and you get a LD charge of a considerable amount on your phone bill. I reported the # to ATT. Th American Cash awards wants you to go to Western Union and send them money. For me it was $294.

1/30/17- I got a call from a Tim White stating I have wow 2.5 Million and a new Mercedes C Class with 3 month pd insurance. stated the prize patrol was on there way to my home and gave me claim # for winnings after going on for about 20 min, finally got down to the part where i needed to send 792.87 to Lisa Lopez in Florida for my tax stamp cost since the money was coming from Washington and I lived in Colorado. After talking the the manager Paul, told them I need to research the company and asked again for the name of the company, at that time they gave me American Cash Awards.
THIS IS A SCAM!

On 1/30/17 at11:34 a. m. and 12:49 p. m.., I received a call from dantaye davis representing himself as a representative of american cash awards. he asked if I had already received a call from david banner telling me about the prize and what I needed to do to receive the prize.

I have received about 6 calls from this or another of his associates within the past 6 days. based on the internet search I did on the phone numbers, it seems the calls are coming from washington. I got waller, wa on the "804" area code. "253" is richmond va.

yes we're trying to get the money back from the Company called American Cash Awards Giveaways and that a guy named Mr. Oscar White was suppose to Western Union us back $2, 150 but never did and that he needs to be put in Jail or worse hanged and that he can't come through with what he was suppose to do as far as give back the money and be able to give it to Western Union and send it like he says he was suppose to and that he needs to be dealt with. It needs to be done or we are going to lose everything we got and that he needs to deliver the goods or refund our money to us. We are sick and and tired of the ### that he's not coming through with what he says so if you can arrange it to get this straightened out would appreciate it and that he should be dealt with as soon as possible. All we want is our money back if he can't come through with the package. Yours Truly, Russell Bannerman and Suzanne Albertson dissatisfied Customers

David Brown from Las Vegas, NV (yeah, right) called me over the past 2 days on a landline that I specifically use for 911 calls. I finally answered the call this am and followed his ominous instructions to receive a car and $68K in cash. He stated that I need to see him and his associate, Sheila Johnson, at my apt by 10:30am to verify that he is legit. Spending over 15 min. to clear my conscious and suspicions over being scammed, he called me a stupid sob and why would I refuse free money. I hung up. He couldn't clearly explain a $35 fee to get the UPS numbers from Western Union in order to get the $68K. Five min later, David called again and repeated his spiel, making himself more frustrated as I was. Then he called me a stupid sob again. I hung up & immediately went online for info about these idiotic scammers. David never apologized for calling me a sob twice.

I was contacted on my voicemail by Jack Rosenberg on my telephone number [protected] and told that I won a sweepstakes for the amount of 4.5 million dollars. when I told him I didn't believe him he said he would set up an account for me for $300, 000 and I could pay my credit card payments and that would prove it. I did this only to have the payments turned back to the credit card companies and when I contacted Jack Rosenberg he told me that the delivery charges were $l, 000 plus $200 a day.he said he was in Washington State and his telephone number is [protected] 3. he had me pay the following accounts to Capital One in the amounts of $504.39 and $483.18. also a balance of $1, 024.08 on First Premier Bank card. I found out later that the account that he gave me was Mid-Missouri Bank and the account number was [protected] and the routing number is [protected]. as a result these charges were turned back to my credit cards and now I owe this money and he was trying to get the $1, 000 plus $200 a day. I called Mid-Missouri Bank, gave them the information, they looked up the account and said it was active but it was under someone else's name other than mine. I would like to be reimbursed for these charges. Thank you

4/9/2016 8:30am, someone ID'ed himself as (Mr. Robert Nelson) said I had won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. $2.5Million dollars, a new Cherry Red Malibu Truck and $7, 000 a month for life. Very convincing with phone #[protected] (I looked it up while on the phone with him), it is in Jamaica. When I asked how the weather was in Jamaica, he said he was calling from Port Washington, NY. He supplied a check number of the award, an access #, and a package # and said it would be delivered to my house today since I said I wanted a private delivery.
Then he said I would have to pay 10% taxes up front of $499.99. (10% of 2.5 million is $250, 000). When I said no, he became upset and asked if I wanted to speak to his manager. I said yes, and was transferred to a Mr. John Kerry (seriously?). After going into lengthy explanation of why I had to pay the $499.99 he transferred me back to (Robert Nelson). I still said no to the taxes and he tried to get me to give him names and phone #'s to give fake award to. When I said no, he hung up.
I did not give them any money, all I lost was a little time in my morning. However, you should always be on the lookout for this type of Scam, especially if you are over 50.

Omg they just keep calling even though you tell them that you look their company up on the Internet and it says scam but they are rentless.American Cash Awards.I told them if you got to pay money to get money it a scam, don't think they believe I would not fall for their scam...not

I received a call from James Nelson claiming that he worked with American Cash Awards and the were through the Better Business Bureau located in Washington DC but calling from a 876 Jamaica area code. He told me that i won a cash prize of $350, 000 and a brand new 2013 Mercedes Benz. They would cover everything all i had to cover was 1% which was $300 and i would receive my prize the same day by UPS. I asked how did i win and he said because i was frequent shopper at Walmart, Kroger and CVS. I told him to take the money out of the cash prize and he said that couldnt and that the 1% was to cover shipping and handling. He had a heavy accent and asked when i could i western union him the money. I said i didnt have it and he said thats fine. He would hold my prize until i have the money but i have to give him a date of when i will be able to send the $300. To make a long story short, i goggle the and saw that they werent registered with bbb.org and saw alot of scam reports. When he called back i gave him a piece of my mind. He hung up and called back 15mins later as if the previous conversation never happened. He's very persistent and seems genuine but this is a scam people. Please be careful an do not give away any of your money. If you really won a prize, you wouldnt have to pay for anything and they would have to notify the IRS because you will have to pay taxes on your prize. This is a scam

Contacted by Bruce Golden, who claimed to be the manager. Said he was calling from Louisville, MS. Never got to first base with me, although he offered me $2.5 million dollars and a brand-new Mercedes. Said he needed the verification of my name and other information in order to send me a check for $925. Sure he was...

I was approached by a really friendly "student" at Texas A&M, selling magazines to go on a field trip with one of the supposed organizations at A&M. Should've know this was a scam, he was unbelievably charming, and I don't think any true Aggies would really play a part in a scam like this. It's in our Honor Code for crying out loud "An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do.” . Anyways, I paid $63 for a subscription to Jack and Jill to be sent to the local children's hospital. I sent my cancellation in before the 3 day cancellation window because felt uneasy about the purchase after all. I have been in contact with a representative twice, maybe three times a month since September 09. I got excuses ranging from we havent received your proof of payment, to it takes a long time for mail to reach them as they are in the Rockies. When I finally made some progress in November, the lady I spoke to said that my refund would be received in 4-6 weeks. I expected it around Christmas, and got nothing. Called in January, was told they were really backed up over the holidays and they hadn't sent my refund out. Called again in February and March, "there's no progress on your refund" and the last time I called, I was hung up on. I finally filed a complaint with the BBB, and guess what?:

"Thank you for contacting your BBB regarding your dispute. BBB records show that this company is out of business. Either the companys mail has been returned with no forwarding order or BBB files show that the company has confirmed it is out of business. Unfortunately, this means that we are unable to assist you in resolving your dispute."

This is absolutely ridiculous. They're out of business, but they don't mind taking more people's money. Looks like I'm never getting my refund back. I will never buy from ANY type of door to door salesmen again. They're all snakes. I encourage everyone to do the same.

There was a young man who came to my house to sale subscriptions to different magazines of your choice, I really did'nt need any but he was trying to raise money for a school fuction or something to that effect. So I wanted to help, anyone who's trying to better theirselves im all for it. I wrote him a check for 111.00, four months ago and never recieved those magazines. It's a shame people can do that and sleep at night. It just made me more aware of people and I won't be buying anymore doore to door sales.

Have made repeated attempts to contact anyone, email, website comments, telephone. no luck. these people screwed up my order and are apparently not available to fix the problem. total rip off artists.

A bubbly girl was selling magazines door to door (to supposedly help her get out of inner city life through a program that helps people to make a better life) and I foolishly bought a subscription for $75. I knew I should have stop paid the check right away. I should have reviewed online right away but didn't. Now I have no magazine and the run around. I called the number on the back of the receipt and the girl was very unprofessional, kept excusing herself from the phone (to sneeze) and I was put on hold a lot. Then she tells me American Cash Award is no longer working with SB Magazines, who apparently is the real person who cashed my check. They provided a phone number and address for this person so I called. The man who answered took my information and said they will send a refund by the end of this week. I don't expect to receive anything as I'm sure this is all just a scam.

I share the same experience with those entires listed around me, except so far I have recieved communication from them about my refund.

Family Subscriptions, one of the magazine companies, no longer uses American Cash Awards as their clearing house. They have set up their own in Missouri.

The number to call is [protected]

If you aren't using Family subscriptions, then contact American Cash Awards, not by the # on the back of the reciept, but use this one:
[protected]. I spoke with a Tanga Monore. She was very helpful in explaining the split and giving me the other info.

Haven't recieved my money back yet, but they tell me it will be in about a week or so. At least I feel like I got somewhere so far.
