US Sweepstakes Jackpot, Raul Albert ripoff Seattle Washington
In Jan '06, USA Sweepstakes Jackpot sent me an official looking letter congratulating me on winning a jackpot for $500,000.00.
Melanie Samson, financial manager wrote such an opposing letter with ticket number and serial numbers stating the money was placed under government bond and would be released to me upon my claiming it. With this letter, I was sent an official looking bank check drawn on Washington Mutual Bank for $5,000, one percent of the jackpot winnings.
I was to immediately deposit the check, which I did in my bank account, and was then instructed to wire $2,500 to their agent who would then send me the rest of the winnings by check.
Unfortunantly, I used the $5,000 to send the $2,500 wire. A day or two later, my bank was informed by Washington Mutual Bank that the check was a fraud. I ended up with my account closed, my checks bounced and me owing $5,000 which I don't have.
I immediately called the local police and many government agencies and my creditors, but I am still fighting to not have to pay the $5,000. What a Rip-Off!
I am desperate for these people to be found and prosecuted.
