I got a call from supposedly "Special Customs Officer" Norman Vega 1 202-918-1296DC. He has left messages on my phone at least 3 days in a row. Being I had ordered some international items and had not received one yet I thought I would check to see if it was possibly my items. Instead it was a package containing a check to me for $950,000.00 from American Winners Network. I then asked him how I won since I have never entered this American Winners Network. He gave me an explanation to the sort that if I had ever subscribed to certain websites and then chose to cancel and the site provided a reduced subscription fee that my info would have been entered into this site. Also if I had ever entered into PCH that even though I did not win they would sell the information to other lottery, sweepstakes programs. After listening to this I decided to play along and continued. The next thing they wanted me to do is choose between providing my bank account to deposit the money into or having the brinks service provide a bank in my area. I chose to let brinks find a bank as I am not providing my bank info. After that he told me he would send me the documents and to call him so that he could go over the document once I received them. I received the document with in the 24 - 72 hour time frame promised. As you see the document was a single page PDF with all the boxes filled in. Including the Dulles International Header, AWN website and phone number, explanation of certificate of registration cost. Since I got all this info I chose to try the site and yes it exists and looks legitimate. I then decided to try the phone number to see if I really won since they would have a record. I got nothing but a voicemail with a full mailbox. 877-589-0016
www.americanwn.com. Finally I called Dulles International Airport to talk to a representative about the "Special Customs Officer" Norman Vega and the package. Airport is located in Virginia and any calls from the Customs from that Airport will have the same Area code: 1 703 572 2700. They did not have any Norman Vega working there nor did they have the carrier flight listed on the document. Scammers are getting creative so beware and validate all claims before providing any Personal information.

I received a call today from Norman Vega at Special Custom at Newark Airport saying I have won $950,000 a year ago and he was contacting me for American Winners Network to receive my funds. He gave me a website, a phone number, and a claim number to call and activate my award. I called Peter Ross at American Winners Network and he verified my claim. Mr. Normal supposed to send me an email and call me tomorrow with directions.
I am sure I want be sending him any funds more than $5.00 for stamps if anything.
They are not even registered with the BBB.
Thank you all for sharing your information.

I first received a call from a man claiming to be Joshua Ramirez, an independent attorney from California. He stated that he had been investigating to locate the winner of $985,000 (ME). Stating that they have been holding this check for almost 2 years and that the state of California w[censored]ding it in an Escrow account and about to claim the funds. He said he was then going to the courthouse to speak to the judge and explain that he had located the owner of the check and to verify its authenticity. He contacted me the next day stating that all was good and that I should contact AWN, give them my confirmation code and he (Peter Ross) would give me all the details and thank him for the winnings. After speaking to Mr. Ross, all sounded legit and real, even after checking out the website (which really looked suspicious). Mr. Ramirez then called me back the next day stating that I would have to pay a 'Registration' fee for documents stating that these were to let them know that these funds weren't for Drugs, Gambling or Fraud but were from Sweepstakes/Lottery winnings. He also stated that he would contact Mr. Ross to pay 85% of the Registration fee but I would have to pay the rest ($1477) and that he would contact me the next day with details, after contacting the courts (Yeah, right!) and let me know where to send the money. After researching all info online, I found that there was an attorney in California by this name (I'm sure this man was using his name for this purpose alone), called him and he knew of NO SUCH THING! When I spoke the fraudulent Mr. Ramirez, I asked him to send me a copy of his DL to confirm his Identity, along with his California Bar Assn # and he stated that he would send me the # once he got home and located it (REALLY?). I then told him that I wasn't going to send ANY money and that I knew he was a part of a SCAM concocted up by him and Mr. Ross for which he told me I should put on my 'BIG BOY' pants and send the money if I wanted the winnings...I then hung up and BLOCKED his number! WHY isn't this website being investigated, prosecuted and SHUT DOWN?!

I recieved a call from someone stating I had a package that was left at the Washington Dulles International Airport and customs opened it and mentioned to me I won $950,000. I proceeded to listen and a whole lot of crap came out of his mouth.(1st and formost its unusual to have a package mailed to the airport, 2nd it's a federal offense to open someone else's mail) He wanted me to give bank info so Brinks security would be able to securely transfer my money but they needed $9,500 from me to make that happen. I shook my head as I said NO, I'm not paying to recieve a winning prize for something I've never entered into.
The number that had called me was from Washington DC #2029006701
Scammers trying hard.

They contacted me to tell me that I won a 95 million dollar check. They told me that I needed to pay $950 for a processing fee. The scammers wanted the money wired or use MoneyGram. They then reduced the amount owed two times because I live on a fixed income. I did believe that I had won because I do play sweepstakes. I started to question when I was told that all the taxes were being paid.

Scammer called from a Washington DC number saying they were customs holding on to a check of a large sum of money that I apparently won but in order for me to receive this money I had to send them 1% of the winnings which was about $1000 thru a Walmart transfer wire, and they are so creative they even have a fake website with your name on it saying you actuality won the prize, beware they are scammers.
