Global Financial scam Halifax Nova Scotia
I recieved a letter on Jan 4th that stated that I was the winner in a second category of the USA Mega Draw held on March 16, 2007. The entry slip was attached to my name matched the first ficve lucky winning numbers and subsequently won $450,000.000.
It said that Global financial has been assigned by the international sweepstake organization to inform the winners and pay them off their winnings. It said that payment would be made by a Certified Check, which would be delivered by their special courier company.
In that letter was a check for $4,750.000 which was suppoed to provide assistance with paying the taxes on my winnings. It was made out to my "tax agent" (Diane Crouse). I was asked to send her $3,500.00 by money Gram to cover those taxes. Then I was told to send another person (Warren Wbbie) $1,125.00 so that they could release the remander of the money on that following friday.
Well, Friday came around and I did not recieve my check so, I called my claims agent (Willie Johnson) and he said that the money was cought up in customs and I had to wire him $2,000.00 more dollars so that I could get the money. I smelled a fraud so thankfully I did not send that extra $2,000.00 but, by this time the check they sent me was returned because the bank account was not found. Then the bank sent the check a second time to see if it would clear. It didn't so, now I have a hold on my bank account for double the amount of the check plus the return check fees.
If anyone knows how to help me get this resolved please let me know what I can do to try and get my account back to normal.
