Complaint Review: JGB Enterprises

I first received a certificate guaranteeing that I had won 1 of 4 prizes in Sept/2005. I was told in order to claim my prize I would need to sent them a check for 498. I then received some magnetic business cards and keychains worth about 75 dollars.

I then received a call from a Ms. Bradford stating that I had won the big prize, I asked her what she had meant. She faxed me a drawing payout list of 175,000 dollars to be given away and claimed that I had won it all.

On 9/26/2006 I sent a ckeck for 2898 to JGB as a by-in to receive my prize and JGB would throw in a camera that I could use to sent them a picture of me to use in their promotion.They also included a Philadelphia Eagles jacket for good measure.

At this point I was being promised money, that I had won, but still nothing had arrived. I received a call stating that the original gift that I had won was the Trip for Two. When I received the information from the travel agent on the trip, I had to pay over inflated prices for the room and stay a certain number of nights. This trip was not really free at all.

Another call came in November/2006 claiming that I was now going to get a bigger prize. I would now need to send them another check for 2898. I did!!. I was promised that Chrismas would be a very happy time.Chrismas came and nothing.I called repeated times and finally talked to Chris Cousins who told be to be patient.

In Janurary 2006 Chris called again. He claimed I was going to Vegas free and that I was the star of the show. I would be very happy. I tried to get him to tell me what I had won,I also told him that I had spent nearly 10,000 dollars so far. I stated that for JGB to send me to Vegas that I had won a lot more that that. One little catch was that I would need to send a final payment of 2898 for baseball hats. I did!!. I couldn't sleep at all so I went on the internet and started doing searches on JGB/scam and ripoff, which let me to this site. I found enough info that I immediately called the bank and stopped payment on the last check.

My initial inquires into JGB didn't find anything, but as soon as I included the words ripoff and scam, all kinds of reports popped up.

Please don't fall victim to this company.I would like somehow to get my 6000 dollars returned. This company plays with the rules but there a countless people who have been taken advanted of.
