This is a well known scam... If they have told you that you need to pay something to claim your prizes, you are guaranteed it is a scam and these people are criminals.
.
You only can win a sweepstakes that you enter and you never have to pay to get an award or prize... Any taxes or fees are taken out prior to any distribution..
.
Take 10 seconds and Google this "American Cash Awards scam" you will see lots of other people who have been defrauded by these criminals.
.
Please don't send them any money or it will be gone..

thanks
