American Money Awards Brian Banks $1.5M LOTTERY because you have a good credit card payment record Oil City, Pennsylvania

We received multiple phone calls from Brian Banks of American Money Awards who said my wife had won a drawing for $1.5 M because her credit card company (unknown which one) had submitted her name for good credit card payment history.

He told us that we needed to send $255.00 via western union as a processing fee before he would deliver a new BMW X-5 automobile along with a check for $1.5M out of which we would be required to give him $15,000 to pay taxes. Only 1% WOW! On another occassion, he said his company had already paid the tax. Without my wifes ssn? What would the IRS say?

I asked Brian to give me a verififiable phone number and address for his company which he stone-walled but finally gave me a bogus address in Philadelphia.  Brian's number is a cell registered in Oil City, PA.

I told Brian that Western Union needed a verifiable phone number due to the "Patriot Act" before they would send the money.  He gave me (2) numbers for a lady in Lindsay, CA whom I spoke with and she told me that she had been taken for money along the same scam.

What a Dodo!  Give me a reference that drops a dime on him? This belongs on the Dumbest list.

I told Brian about speaking with the Lady in Lindsay where his company allegedly had a branch office. Brian hung up.  I wonder why?
