Armstrong Finical Services Sweepstakes Scam Sweepstakes for $250,000 and $4540 144 Wood Road, Calgary Alberta Canada
I received a letter on 9/15/08 informing me that I signed up for a sweepstakes and won $250,000. Also included with the letter was a $4540 check from ension united states drilling inc and a number to call for further instruction(7788624575). I called the number and spoke with both with a Mary Richards and Maria Gomez.
They told me to to use the check to send them $3860 plus an $80 sending fee, via money gram at walmart, and fed-ex would be there the next day with my $250,000 prize. Also they told me to send the money gram to a tax agent named Kathy Williams at 144 Wood Road Calgary, Alberta Canada, which was a different tax agent then the one listed on the letter.
I started to get suspicious of this company and decided to take the check to my bank to and see if it was real. Turns out the bank account on the check was not litigate. I called Mary and Maria back and started to play their games, and acted like i deposited the check in my account and that i would send the money in 2 days.
Today, 9/17/08, Mary called my cell phone and asked me if i send the money and i told her not yet because i was busy. About an hour later they called me back and asked me the same thing. I told them i sent the money and then she asked me for a confirmation code and i just told her my phone is gonna die and hung up. but i still have them going.
I want to catch these bxxxxes. Is there is any way someone could track their location through their cell phone?
