I gave my last
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

ACA as this man named Jonathan Gillmore called from Jamaica telling me I won 900, 85000.I asked him how much is he going to charge me to get it? He said nothing.I said your lying.He said you need to trust me because as of Monday morning my life will change.He said hold on I will let you speak with my supervisor who Ironically sounded just like Jonathan accent and all..I told him I have no money so he said they will put money on my credit card so I can send them a fee of 500.00 for a government stamp needed to release the money to me.He gave me a confermation number and check number and his badge ID which probably all bull and told me to trust him.Also said I need to keep this very confidential until he can make the transfer of the 500.00.He Called from this number [protected] I told him your scamming me because your calling from Jamaica.He proceeded to tell me it's Jamaica New York and I said funny because that is not a New York Accent you have.So after looking up the ACA American Cash Award which by the way he told me not to look it up and that I need to trust him.He said the money will be sent to my door accompanied by three Lawyers whose name s are Linder Allen, Bobby White and his supervisors name John Peterson.Also said they are bringing a mercedes Bendz on a flat bed because I won that too.He is still calling and trying to get me to use a royalty number he gave me and Acct number as they say my next step will be to call my credit card company to pay off card.I'm not believing him.I am in disbelief that someone could do this as I am recovering from brain surgery and when I told him that I have no money because of the surgery he said he'd call me back.He called back again and that's when the scam got good and he asked me for money.I'm making this report first so they don't get away with it and second to help others in my position know that you NEVER have to pay to get Money you won and as soon as they start asking you for money it's a scam.I am toying with this man Jonathan because he thinks I'm falling for it but I am just collecting information from him so I can make this report to warn others.Please do not fall for this companies act.Hope the right steps are taken by the BBB to find these people aka professional Con Artists from Different Countries aalso a sign if your ever asked to go to Wal-Mart to send money then you should know your being scammed.Please find these people and punish them to the extent of the Law.
I too have a $17.5 million and a new Mercedes Benz to be collected within the next 8 days. The man in charge, Mr. Austin Brown has tried the "pay off my credit card" so I can send money for fees scam and get the money for me. I called a number given to me for the Bank of America in D.C. a the man answered The Bank of America, and the numbers I gave him proved to be a check that was still available. I called Mr. Brown back and stated the check was available. So far it seems that someone is making a vain attempt to swindle me out of anything I might have and definitely not an honest attempt to present me with any sweepstakes award. They now have on their answer machine a message identifying them as "The American cash awards Global sweepstakes Claims Office. Getting elaborate or just another part of the scam? Should I offer a lawyer 1% of the actual money deposited in my account (as much as $17, 000) to take over and get the job done or at least file suit and win a great deal more. Somebody needs to pay up or lose their freedom to defraud others! Any lawyers that are interested in this offer of a possibly nice big payday I still have 8 days to complete my claim on that check according to the claims manager (Mr. Austin Brown) in the ACAGS Claims office in Texas.
phone call
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.
using publishers clearing house awards as a front - scam
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!
Received a call from Ohio Number [protected] from Scott Myers. Said I won $150, 000 from Readers Digest and wanted me to go to Walmart to get an American Express Prepaid gift card for $125 to cover sipping and handling of fees to receive this cashier check. I have also received several calls including Jamaica, about other awards.
I have a considerable amount of money trying to receive 9.5 million and a new BMW automobile. Is there anything I can do to recover my money?
phone 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.
getting money back
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
cash reward & card
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.
sweepstakes winner phone call
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
I am mad as H my elderly disabled parents were just scammed out of $350.00 by the fake American Cash Award Company. The same spiel as the others they one 250 million and a new white Mercedes all they had to do was wire the shipping fee for the car. So while I was at work they drove 30 miles by the way both parents have cancer& dad had dementia and mom is also an amputee. So they ran to the bank then to Walmart to send yhe cash. When I csme home I called the number and a lady answered and when I said I was my mom the phone went dead so I called back, again a man answered with no company name or anything when I told him I was her daughter he tried to tell me they were a good company with God fearing people. I demanded to talk to this Mary person she was out of the office but he would leave her a message to call me to straighten this out. By the way the number could not be reached from my cell phone. My parents are devasted and could not afford to let go of 350.00 ., they are also embarrassed that they fell for it and my dad with his dementia doesnt understand that it was a scam. I would love to hunt these people down and let the law take hold of them.
using publishers clearing house awards as a front
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.
saying you won millions of dollars
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 rec'd similar phone call. Scammer . Also876 522 2957 phone number.name given Peter Washington, badge3555xy661145. States he is a manager for American sweepstakes organization. I supposedly won 8.5 million and a 2016 Mercedes station wagon with my choice of color. Just need to give 375.00 dollars in form of money gram or western union, to pay for ups delivery of Mercedes.. Wouldn't accept C.O.D., , Gee, wonder why not... Well, good night, Don't fall for these idiots.
I too just received one of those calls saying that I had won millions and a car. I was told we had to pay over $300 to them for taxes that would be owed to the government. I told them that if I won something, I won something and to just give it to me. I also said that if I owed taxes on any money I won or recieved, I would pay the taxes myself. The man hung up on me when I told him that I didn't have any money to pay anyone, and that our Christmas was looking pretty slim right now. I don't trust these guys!
offer of 3.5 mil w/fee of $3500 & expensive car
I have received an unsolicited phone call telling me I have won 3.5 mil dollars and
a 2014 Mercedes. Requested I submit $3500 - never got an answer as to where it
was to be sent. Due to my refusal to send money to anyone they (I spoke to 3 different
people trying to convince me this was legitimate) devised a different method which
was to purchase a green dot money pack scratch card at CVS store for $3500 which
I would retain until their team arrived to convey a $3.5 mil certified check. I still am very
skeptical and don't trust this offer at all. I'd like your opinion. [protected]@att.net

[protected] just got the same call 3.5 million and a brand new Chevy truck
I hung up I don't trust nothing after I got scam by a job scam now I m still paying the bank back looking for a job on LinkedIn and got scam by a job that was post on LinkedIn now the American Cash coming along I don't trust nothing anymore
Received an unsolicited call from American Cash award a man named Tony Washington proceeded to give me prize information specifically $5 million $250,000 cash $7,000 a week for life and a Mercedes Maybach. Call me several times to confirm my interest and when I refused to purchase a gift card for $500 I then informed Mr Tony Washington that I would be calling the police. If American Cash award is legit business they should pursue and prosecute the individuals who are using their business name to commit fraud and scams this needs to be corrected
I just received the same phone call was the different name and a restricted phone number. He said I had to pay 350 dollars to post office box or something like that in order to hold the letter that would be delivered tomorrow. I told them that he could call me back after I checked Google to see if this would show up as a scam. While I was looking it up the phone was ringing and ringing in ringing and as usual it showed up to be a scam. He was arguing with me and telling me that it wasn't true that it was a different side blah blah blah yelling at me. I told him he wasn't listening to me either and so he told me to get off of his line and so I hung up on him. I knew it was a scam usually is.
I have had the same call, I see it was resolved but what was the outcome please.
Similar experience, but was told I won 5.5 mil. (tax-free!) plus a Mercedes Benz to be paid to me @ $5K per week for the rest of my life, which could be passed on to a person of my choice after I died! All I needed was $500 up front (cheap, right?) Sounded FAR TOO GOOD to be true, so I checked w/ BBB and they had 6 reports of such scams from American Cash Awards, who had a rating of "F" for Fraud. So beware ANY company asking for money up-front!

cash prize and mercedes benz
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

I got a phone call from a Dante Santario representing American Cash Awards, saying that I had received an award for $3.5 million dollars and a 2021 BMW. I "only" had to come up with 20 thousand dollars to pay for the "taxes" on the award. I very foolishly took out a $12, 000 loan to pay for this last month. Now the first payment on the loan is coming due next month, and I don't have the funds to cover it! The guy seemed reasonable and assured me I will receive my award. I'm very worried that I won't be receiving anything from him! And I'm up to my eyeballs in debt!
I have had the same thing just happened to me, i bought a gift card for $200.00 yesterday 02/23/22, and now i had to get a loan for 300.00 for the rest of it for another card, but he said they would bring the car as soon as i gave him the $300, i haven't done it yet on the 300 just the 200, then i looked up this site and saw all these complaints and so i probably will not give the $300 to him, so if no one ever got the car or the millions of dollars then i probably won't either, so i am DONE!
I hope we can get them stopped & closed down. A lot of people & their families are being hurt by this.
I have been getting the same type of phone calls sayin I have won a Benze and SEVERAL million dollars. They are having me send money $10 -
$500 to different people & places such as Jamaica, Az, . & Cal, But if this is American Cash Awards why is most of their calls from Kingston, Jamaica? I have been trying to trace all of the 876 numbers but cant get any info. Any ideas of what to do? I have tried to block their numbers but they are always getting thru!
I was just contacted by a heavily accented man phone #[protected]. He stated that I won 5 million dollars and gave me a package code number and a name and address to send a money order or moneygram of $2000 (at first it was $2300). I am to send it to Willie Reese, 115 E Waters Street, Plymouth, NC 27962. And a phone number of [protected]. He was very persistent and tried to corner me to a time frame for sending the money. I told him that he can bring me the money and the car then I would see about the $2000. He told me to listen and to do what he says and to do it fast. Also not to talk to anyone else about this transaction. He just kept pushing until I hung up on him. He immediately called back twice and I didn't answer. I have been getting calls continuously for the last month form Jamaica, NY, AZ, NV, FL, etc.. I answered some of them and it is always a heavily accented person calling me Miss Peggy. I have blocked all of the numbers that I can but they still get thru by using a different number.
They called me today. Told me I had won $700, 000 and a benz. They gave me confirmation, claim, serial, and other numbers to claim my prize with and wanted me to call another phone number for his company, and strangely, ask for the name he had given me earlier as his own.He also gave me 2 different last names for himself during an earlier part of the conversation. I never called the second number. I googled them and saw all the scam reports. He called a second time but I didn't answer.
catherine nathan
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...
WE ALSO ORDERED PRODUCT AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT AND NOONE ANSWERS THE PHONE TO LISTED NUMBERS. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A COMPANY WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF KIDS TRYING TO HELP THEM AND THEMSELVES. PRETTY CRAPPY.
i have called the magazine companies to which i subscribed through american cash awards in oct. 2008. they have never received my orders.
phone phishing
I too, have received phone calls from a phone number registered in Jamaica. The man identified himself as JOHN WASHINGTON. This man had a very heavy accent and was difficult to understand. He informed me that he was from winners's international and my phone number was selected from 2000 numbers to receive a cash award of 2.5 million dollars as the second place winner. I was then given an address for Geneva Loe, 407 Kingsbury Circle, Georgia, 31088(no city in Georgia). Mr. Washington then informed me that i would need to send $95 by western union to this address for the insurance of delivery. I too, was told of cash delivery of the money or by check with escort, then told it was UPS that would deliver. When i asked if the company had a website mr. washington informed me that the company was only 6 months old and didn't have one. Red Flag. When asked what the first place prize was, mr. washington told me it was 5.3 million dollars and a 2008 Lincoln Navigator. Come on! Millions of dollars and a 3 year old vehicle? Red Flag! Once i was told to go to wal mart and western union the money before the delivery i knew it was a scam. Now i see many other people have had the same or similar calls.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
yes I am getting the same thing about the 2.5million that I have won from different callers and they are asking for 999.00 for the delivery of the cheque.now I got a call from a lady marian Johnson wondering if I am getting the cheque still and only pay 250.00 for delivery and the balance of 250.00 after I receive it.i have been scamed before like a lot of others and I live in Canada an this comes for the states and do you think they will return my money if I don't receive it.not a chance in hell.come to me with the cheque or mail or delivery and get more then what the price was for the delivery cause then you know it's for real.+[protected] is the number and sounds like the Philippines or around that state.1 call from the multi millions lottery and this one from the American cash awards but same amount for both.scams.
I got a phone call yesterday saying I won a thousand dollars. He asked me to send dollars to Florida. He called today I told him the trouble I was having and I could not send any money to him for taxes. So he said he liked me and that he was going to send me a check for $5000.00 help me out so I would not miss the big money I was to get. I did not have to pay the taxes. He is to call me tomorrow after I deposit the money into my account (I did not give him my account number) He said that was against the law for me to give him any information. So this does not make any sense to me to send me money so I can get the million dollars. He is from Jamaica. If it sounds too good to be true you know it is not
I was involved with these calls from Jamaica and after being taken for a total of $375 and a frustrating year I wrote it off but continued to be accosted for another 2 years I have finally blocked enough calls that the over seas calls stopped but I am on somebody's succor list I still have scammers calling from all over the USA. Right now an Austin Brown has me on his line as an $17.5 million dollar winner with 8 days left to complete jumping through his hoops before the claim endate expires. American Cash Awards Global Sweepstakes. Does not seem to exist on line yet if you call his office (a Texas number) the answer machine claims it is the ACAGS claims department. This is not resolved yet the hemming and hawing sound like they are still trying to pull a scam as the request to pay off my credit card so I would have money to pay specific fees to get the check processed, thus another ploy to get some money. The attempt to use the credit card ploy did not work since the safe guards in place with shared banking for transferring money between banks stopped that lie. 8 days left and I think I'll contact any lawer that would except 1% of the final awarded amount to get that check into my bank account.Around $17.000 would make a good lawer a nice paycheck. I would expect one of two things to happen, I do end up with a boat load of money or we get another band of crooks off the street. I would consider either one a win! Is there any lawers that would like a shot at possibly a very nice pay check?
Good morning world just received a phone call from a number in Jamaica from a man's and his name is John Carter he said I won $400, 000 and a new Corvette 2017 it's a scam he wants me to send $105 to a place in Nevada why would I have to send money to a place in Nevada when the number is coming from Jamaica scam do not send money to these people.
No don't hang up, you're doing it wrong. Talk to them, know it's a scam, and harass them. Do stupid #### like telling them you will meet them at some airport with the check (don't show up yourself). When they call later, tell them your flight was delayed and set up a new time and place at a different airport. Tell them you're out of money and stuck at wherever. Get them to do whatever annoying thing you can. Have them carry a backpack hugged close their chest to recognize them. Let airport security nab them. (you won't need to call airport security, that behavior alone is enough to get them questioned). If it's a terrible English speaker, teach them phrases in English like using "take this with a grain of salt" as a contemporary greeting so other people are clued in it's a scam. Tell them that they should call themselves "Sheldon Cooper" or some other american tv personality to give away the scam. These "people" are giving you a license to be a nasty trolling fuktard. Abuse it. The more time and effort you can get them spending on you, the less time they have conning other stupid people. Give the law time to work to catch these scammers.
My name is kirneshia iam from memphis and i just got off the phone with a man name john anderson from a jamaica number. He told me i won second place in a drawing for 1.5 million and a new 2016 car.

Now if i got a call from jamacia why iam sending something to oklahoma. Now i really thought i was getting a blessing to i start thinking.. How did they get my number how did i get in the contest and if i won a contest why didn't he all ready know my name... I had to tell him so when he called back i went off cause he tryna play me and i work to dame hard for my money to give it away. Please if you are reading this don't answer yo phone for a jamaica number and if he say his name is rudy anything hang up please don't give away yo money.
I was contacted by my home phone a few minutes ago from "Unknown Caller" with no phone number listed. The man (I will not call him a gentleman) said I had won a lot of money, which I don't remember how much, and a car and needed my mailing address so the delivery could be made sense all they had was my phone number. I didn't give it to them and questioned him about why didn't they just do a address look up for my number and was told they didn't have a way of doing that. I told them to just call the telephone operator and they could get it that way for a small fee. So I asked for a phone number to call to check him out and he gave me a number to call that he said was in Philadelphia [protected]) and he would call me back after I made the call . I didn't call that number, I called our State Attorney General instead and was told that this IS A SCAM and that number is a Jamaica number. He did call back and I told him what I did and what was told to me. He called me and them a liar. To say the least I'm not falling for that scam.

canceled subscription, still no refund 6 months later
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.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
scam
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.

You people are so illiterate. Read your reciepts. They clearly state it may take several months before you start recieving your subscriptions. I went through this contest with U.S.A., Inc. and it was a wonderful experience. My family bought a couple and they recieved their subscriptions. Futhermore, for your information, the company that sponsers this contest (Unique Subscription Agency, Inc.) is not a "scam" nor is it illegal so go ahead and contact the district attorney you hebetudinous [censor].

No doubt... this "Unique Subscription Agency, Inc." pulled that same garbage on me. Difference between me and the last complaint... I will absolutely be taking legal action against them. This is why we have a justice dept. within our government. I intend to push this issue to the point of the scammers being jailed. If they have done this to us... they are doing it all the time. Most don't follow through with finding them... contacting them and complaining to them. They make that extremely difficult. An answering machine that allows for no messages and only tells you... The name... then hangs up... the hours they claim to be open... yeah, still they never answer. Anyone know the District Attorney in Kittredge, Colorado? I will shortly :)
no magazines, no refund
A young man approached my 16 year old daughter concerning buying magazine subscriptions. She was with her 18 year old sister. She felt sorry for the man and signed up. She borrowed the money from her sister. When they got home I hit the roof. Two days later I sent all information for refund. After 4 weeks or hearing nothing I called and was told the refund would be issued in 3 days. We're still waiting! In the letter I even stated she was underaged.
Yes, I finally received my refund. I also complained to the Better Business Bureau, who I believe, helped alot. I also think my daughter being underaged helped also. It took a while which was aggravating. I received a handwritten check which seemed a little weird, from a company, and was a little afraid to cash it incase it bounced. My bank could not guarantee that it wouldn't. The receipt my daughter received had the wrong phone number on it. The only Midwest Circulation I found on the internet had nothing to do with selling magazines, that I could tell, and gave me no useful information. I called the fax number on the receipt and a girl answered. It took two phone calls. The first said the check was in the mail. I waited about 3 weeks, no check. Called again and was told the same thing. After a couple of weeks I finally got it. I think my daughters have learned a lesson, I hope!

It all depends on what crew u r workin for ...mid west is not where u wanna be ...its all aboit fit for life 008 ...and idk why midwest cant send the mags it only cosT them 8dollars outta the 56 they charge lol smh
Just had a "salesman" come to my door from Midwest circulation LLC magazines.. I was polite and listened to his pitch and proceeded to tell him that I am sorry I do not have the $98.00 they were requesting as a "donation" (Mind you this is a sunday night at 730pm who does sales at this time?) After I said no thank you he proceeded to call me every name in the book A**hole, ###, selfish etc. .. long story short my bf took over & took care of him and probably scared this kid for life. Come to find out he had been to others in our apt and did the same thing and some people even gave him a check. After we spoke to the cops, we got it taken care of but everyone in this area please be aware of this scam. It could have been a lot more dangerous if I was home alone (And thank God my boyfriend is an infantryman.. the LAST person on earth anyone would want to mess with) After being verbally abused by people who were breaking the "No solicitation" law in my apt complex I can say I will not rest until this company gives me some sort of explanation.
And I like to apologize to all the people that have been robbed for their hard earned money cuz I was one of dem people who is goin thru a ruff spot in their life and almost made a terrible mistake to join these heartless mindless morally impaired bunch of crack meth and heroin addicts they prey on the people who are desperate for money and want to travel and make something better out of they lives I agree wit homie from the Lou come down on 42 nd post east side nap and try ur cons and get y'all ### ### stretched out right n nap Bridgette and every ### or ### ### junky ### ashy Larry ### ### can get it from the managers on down ### test it cracker boy or ### trust it
Haha don't worry everyone who has been scammed by Bridgette, I've been getting her back slowly for the last two years getting her to get me free bus tickets and money and never showing up at the greyhound for her well sometimes I do but I'm hiding and watch them come look for me but they never find me .lol.ive actually been scamming every mag crew in the country for tickets and money and they still continue to let me get away with it.i was on a crew for a year and it all seemed great until I figured out that nobody got ###.i realized I was a prostitute for these people and they trained me to be the best con man I can be, but I got outta scamming people door to door now I just give them the karma they deserve for all the people they have ###ed;)
I have been on maganize crew for a few years now and they have always done me right...they get two weeks paid training...and a room to sleep in and transportation...so there for the ones that are talking ### on midwest circulation stop hating...this company gives people a job to see the world and make good money its one of the most easier job out there and u can enjoy ur self...and about bridget she is one of the nicest lady i know she helped me when i was down and out and i will always have love for that women...she has more balls than any man thats for sure...for the ones that havent been on mag crew dont talk ### unless u have been and the ones that are on here talking ### that has been dont talk ### because u didnt want to better urself...bridget is amazing so f*** what u heard or saying...Midwest Circulation IS THE GREATEST...THANKS FOR BETTERING MY LIFE!
i dont see what everyones problem is. i buy magazines from these guys every year when they come to my house and i never have any problems. i always get my magazines.
They are in currently in Labette County. Parsons, KS. a boy goin by the name of P.J. claimin he was 19 from Memphis. out of his group number #028 and a girl name Sara age 21. his "company" is "midwest circulation llc" and he tried sellin me some bogus magazines. Also, I was with one of my friends and P.J. tried convincing us to join the company. Sayin: all the same stuff yall been sayin, Training for 2 and u get paid, the college trip, you travel the united states, you can smoke weed n drink all day everyday, He even admitted to "manipulating the elderly/common people." Me and my friend feel like the only reason he gave us so much info is cuz he thought we was gonna join. And to be honest, I was really about to join it sounded too good to be true, cuz im currently unemployed. These kids had Several Tattoos/Piercings and the girl had a "Support the Troops" Tattoo which they say they support. Which is also a big lie. we had a fishy feeling from the beginning. But the best part is when the girl said they're going to the East Coast, she said Tennessee. Coincidently where P.J. was from. and then 5 seconds after she said they're goin to the East Coast, P.J. said "ya were about to go to California." Sooo...put two n two together and you get Rip Off. I feel sorry for the people that fall into this ###, because i was falling into it myself. This is one of the most craziest things i've ever experienced in my life, and it comes to show how ###ed up this world is! oh ya...btw its currently 2:39 a.m. in kansas and me n my friend been trippin on this ###, we drove by 2 motels and coincidently seen WHITE 8-10 passenger CHEVROLET VANS with BLACK TINTED WINDOWS. They are obviously good at what they do...We also called BRIDGETT ROBBINS AKA the "CEO" of midwest circulation and we asked one simple question. stating that "we were offered a job by one of your associates and we was wondering if it was Legit." And after 5 Seconds of silence we realized she had hung up the phone. These people are some sick ###s in the head. straight weirdos..
I realize it is important to let you know, I was not asked to sign the receipt, and it states, no veral agreement is recognized, and there for they are not obligated to send the magazines etc. And i was asked to donate them to charity, St. Judes, and the "Trooops", and after they left, knew I had been had, and called my bank and had "Stop Payment put on my checks. And pulled up this info, and knew, I did the right thing, Nic, is a fast talking, charmer, and knows how to avoid questions, and will end up being more than a con man in his life, and that is such a shame, but it is his choice, to use his talents in this manner, I dare the company to contact me, as have already set legal friend on alert, as to their scam, Thanks to all of you, for saving a 83 yr old lady from throwing money down the drain, to some illegal people who have no sense, of what is right or wrong.
I am confused, Nick Barrenger, is the young man who tried to scam me about the magazines, and yet his name apprears on the above complaint, 6 days ago, no wonder he is such a fast talking individual, and ask for water, and then some cookes, etc, and to use my bath room, I keep a pistol at my bedside, and last night, had it handy, as I became suspicious, of the whole ordeal, Am calling Better Business Bureau now, Stay out of Knoxville Tenn.
wrong subscription, no refund, no correcftion, no contact
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.
called [protected], got things sorted out. they fixed the order, had to get different mag since they didn't carry the one i originally ordered, plus they gave me an extra mag free. i wish they would put that phone number on the site, because thats the only way to get anything done. emails etc no one responds to.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
If the above comment doesn't work, call your credit card company and they will reimburse your money. Tell them they sent you the wrong product, and they won't respond to you, and you want your money back and you are or already have sent back what they sent you. All credit cards have the protection service, and it doesn't take long a all to get your money back. .. I hope that helps.
scam - magazine sales
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.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I bought a 3 yeasr subscription for SB too. The rep's name was Marvin Sparks. This was in July 2010 an I never received anything. the number on the slip goes to a voicemail with a lady that uses poor grammar and the voicemail is always full. I did some research and found home information for Lucius Pierce. It is 2707 Taylorcrest, Missouri City, TX 77459. His home # is listed as [protected]. I plan to call him tomorrow to make his Thanksgiving real nice and I WILL be getting my money back. I talked to Sonia Byrd who is showing is witht the company and she told me that she left that company 3 years ago and gave me a number to contact Lucius at [protected]. I called it and no id on voicemail but is a good number. Hope this helps anyone else that got ripped off. I have a lot more info on him. Let me know what you need!
similar issues-got results!
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.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
So did you get your refund or is it still in the mail?
MIDWEST CIRCULATION LLC:
Just had a "Corey Ward" slick-talk us into this now-known scam. The company was at least 'trying' to look legit by providing info on the receipt: Midwest Circulation LLC, 506 Northland Drive, Cameron, MO, 64429 ... [protected] and a second phone and fax #. But a quick web search on the phone number revealed several recent posts of people here trying to contact it regarding an "American Cash Awards" program with a similar M.O.
For a good M.O. description of these programs, look at this blog I found. (see http://listofscams.blogspot.com/2009/07/door-to-door-magazine-sales-is.html )
Corey even introduced his "handler" as he passed us by in a big white van with Missouri tags (in our state of North Carolina), and they greeted each other. Corey may be one of the one's being scammed in this.
A Google Map of the address reveals a vague address, possibly of a strip mall.
Phoning the number gets a constant voicemail.
We are going to simply cancel the check and switch our bank account. I'd rather have the hassle of doing that, than the hassle of an identity scam.
