Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
Sarah McCleary (not sure of spelling) called to say my elderly mother won a cash prize. That American Giveaway Enterprises does a giveaway every 3 months. They get a donor list from the American Charity Association and enter the donor's name into the giveaway.
(Google this: American Charity Association - nothing comes up.)
Then she said a government worker named ANTHONY GARCIA is assisting the gaming industry to validate the prize. And, that mom has to put her information on record as part of claiming the prize - and oh by the way there is a **processing fee** (FRUAD ALERT!) for this registration process.
Sarah didn't know the amount of the processing fee (why not Sarah? Shouldn't you have that information along with the prize amount?) and was going to call Mr. Garcia to get the amount and call me back. SCAM!
Sarah said that we pay the processing fee upfront then 2 days AFTER the check is paid to the Federal Government mom would be reimbursed for that fee.
Sarah refused to give me the name of the company that does the "processing work" unless we were going to claim the prize. I said yes we are claiming the prize now - today - so what is the fee amount and the name of the company that will do the processing? And that's when Sarah said she was waiting for a call from Mr. Garcia with the processing fee amount so she'd call him now then call me back. Total scam.
As if in good faith I'm going to mail a check to some company I've never heard of and then wait for my reimbursement from the American Giveaway Enterprises.
The "company" has a website. But it is not hard to create a website for a fake company, that doesn't prove anything. On the company website (https://www.americangiveawayenterprises.net/ ), it says they are Better Business Burea accredited. But on the ScamPulse.com website, this company is not in the ScamPulse.com directory but it does come up in the scam tracker - https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker
