Complaint Review: Sam Martin

Received  several calls from Disteict of Columbia. Spoke with lady who stated free stimulus packages were being distributed randomly and I was selected.  She provided another  number of her supervisor who confirmed what she said previously. I was asked to send $250.00 and receive the $7000 stimulus money and would also receive the $250.00 back used to  purchase Green Dot Package Card.   

I then reported the card information to a financial officer supposebly from Washington D.C. who said to call Sam Martin at Federal Reserve Bank and the process would be complete in 10 minutes. Sam then asked for an additional $680.00 claiming its needed for fees and taxes and within 10 minutes I would have the money. He even congratulated me. I didn't have that amount on hand so borrowed from some one

.

It was the convience store clerk's comment that got me to thinking.  He stated that  the person asking me to purchase the Green Dot Cards totalling that amount knows that only $500.00 can be spent per day on  Green Dot Package Cards. He went on to say I bet the person told you to go to another store if the first store refused for the amount of her$680.00. Which is exactly what Sam Martin asked me to do! 

I went back and returned my money in the bank and also returned what was borrowed.  When Sam called asking for the card information and I explained what had transpired at the store he became outraged!! " I told you to go to other stores!!! Are you going to purchase the cards or not?!!!  When I responded, No... He yelled I' m closing your file and you're going to lose all that stimulus money.. Which I replied, " That's fine 

Running  A Scam Sam I Am".
