I received an email from a friend, only later to find that my email had been hacked; telling me I had won a Facebook Lottery. I was then given a name to contact to verify my winnings.
After the verification, I was asked to send money to pay the taxes and insurance, which I did.
Since that time, I have sent $36,500.00 and am trying to recoupe that money.
They keep telling me that I need to send another $1000.00 just to have my money returned. I did that last week (like a fool) and they are trying to get me to send another $1000.00 saying that I did not send the first $1000.00.
They always insist on cash and to send it FedEx.
I'm hoping you can be of help, but I'm not hopeful.

If this is a true story, you are screwed. You have lost your money and You will not be able to recover it. Did you enter a "Facebook Lotery"? No, because there is no such thing. Pay attention - NO LOTTERY MAKES YOU PAY MONEY TO GET MONEY IF YOU ARE A WINNER ALREADY...!!! You have been scammed. STOP SENDING THEM MONEY...!!!
