Harlingen woman warns of $32 million sweepstakes scam targeting residents
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A Harlingen resident, Sue Groves, is alerting the community about a $32 million sweepstakes scam. She received persistent calls and emails from a company named 'American Cashaward,' demanding $5,000 upfront to claim the prize and a new car. Despite the enticing offer, Groves questioned the legitimacy of paying for a prize she hadn't received. Investigations revealed the company's Las Vegas address is fake, and it holds an 'F' rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). BBB President Hilda Martinez noted an increase in similar complaints, emphasizing that legitimate sweepstakes never require payment before awarding a prize.
