American Wish Giveaway
On Monday, Nov. 22, 2021, Shaun Ryan introduced himself from the National Gaming Commission from the phone # (757) 740-5663. He stated they've been trying to contact me and was unsuccessful since October 2020. Didn't I received their letter in the mail? This is their last & final attempt to reach me before my prize is forfeited. Please write down this Claim # and contact American Wish Giveaway @ (844) 694-1047 immediately. He has to make the following statement for my protection to "beware" of scams, or mailing in gift cards to organizations etc. Who doesn’t know this already?
I called and spoke to John Sceeba. He stated I was entered into a sweepstake drawing automatically because I had made donations to certain non-profit organizations. I had no idea what he was talking about. I give to numerous organizations. I asked which organizations & he couldn't tell me. I won 2nd place prize for 3.5 million. They're responsible for taxes & submitting a 1099 tax form. A certified check would be hand delivered by Brinks company and recommend taking me to my financial institution for security reasons. He would complete all paperwork and call me back after Thanksgiving holiday on Monday, Nov. 29, 2021. I didn't believe him and told him & he email documents to me.
On the second page documents attached, next to last paragraph, Patriot Act. This company is located in US in New York. You don't pay out money to receive free money.
Shaun Ryan called back later that week. I asked him about the "Patriot Act" and fee due to receive money. He stated 1% of 3.5 is due and they're split that cost with me due to "Patriot Act". You know I "Googled" "Patriot Act" and that's all I going to say on that subject. Really!!! Did John send you documents to your email account? I said yes, Why? Is there a problem? Half of 1% is a small price to pay for 3.5 million. There's no where in history where a valid company makes a recipient pays for winning prize money unless its a scam! I hung up. These scammers went thru great lengths to try to obtain money fraudulently. I would "NEVER" send anyone money 💰!!!! I work too hard for my 💰 money!!!
