Complaint Review: Global Financial - James Bodkins-president - Laura Brown -Jason Saleem

They send me aletter inform me that I was one of the winners of the Annual Promotional Lottery draw held on January 6, 2006 for the $250,000.00. Also, they send me a check for the amount of $3,820.00, but Immediately I deposit the check I suppose to send them $2,985.00 for tax purpose. I though that it was a fraud because of the kind of envelope that came the letter and because if I going to paid taxes I pay taxes to a Department of Finance or a government agency. I call them and they told me to send them the money by Western Union or Moneygram, then I said to them that I did'nt have that amount of money that I have to wait until the check cleared to send it, one of them said that It is ok, but I called again and the other person told me that I suppose to send the money inmediatly for them to send me the rest of the money. After I deposit the check, I called again, and, Karlie Charman, told me to send the money by Wester Union to Jason Saleem, 4941 Kings Street, Ontario, Canada M3J1P7, but I didn't send nothing, then I received the return check like a counterfei.

I just want you to help prevent that this doen't happen to somebody else. This is a complete "fraud".
