Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
Global Financial Trust & Services ripoff, they wanted me to Western Union or Moneygram money transfer to receive the US $50,000 lump sum payment. Rip-off Report says this is all a big rip-off, never send anyone money by Western Union, never give out our bank account or credit card information to anyone! Great Basin Credit Union phony checks to rip off consumers Windsor Ontario Canada
I also recieved cashiers check for ($3,800) written from Great Basin Credit Union and was instructed to pay taxes and fees of this amount by Western Union or Moneygram money transfer to receive the US $50,000 lump sum payment.
The first problem I had with this... Why would they send me a check in order for me to send back a moneygram or wiretransfer?
Why not just pay the taxes and fees... sending me the balance?
Well.. the never say never inner thoughts inspired me to call the number instructed 1-774-0243 for confirmation.
Ok... so I called on a Sunday (expecting to get a recording) and someone answered "Hello!" I explained that I was calling about the winnings and wanted to know where I could pick up my money. The person on the other end said "Call back tommorrow and they can answer your questions..." So, it appeared to me that I interrupted someones day (maybe a cell phone) and I went on to ask in a simplistic and humble manor.."I'm just wondering.. this isn't a scam or anything, is it.. I mean.. could you tell me...is this straight up?" The other party (guy) says.. "yeh yeh yeh just call back tommorrow.." and ended the conversation.
So, I have a couple more problems with this whole thing...
Why would a legitimate business be answering phone on Sundays..
Why would they answer in that way...instead of business name..
Why would they put me off in the "yeh,yeh,yeh" manor
What lottery did I ever enter for this to happen...
and a host of other obvious conserns.
A couple of weeks after all this, my attorney (prepaid legal services) of which I am a member and a representative sent a letter out to all their clients instructing about this new wave of lottery scams and instuctions on how to handle it.
Well, I still have the cashiers check and the letter but agree with the first memo that there ought to be some way to make these crimminals pay so they know it is a crime to 'bilk' people out of money.
Attempt to Defraud, Tax Evasion and a bunch of other laws are broken in this way of doing business.
I assume the average person will see the problem with this but I also know there are others, less educated, that just want... so much ...for something to change their life... that the obvious is overlooked.
Thanks.
