John Dickson HINES INTERESTS FINANCIAL GROUPS AND CONSULTANTS: PETER CAMPBELL (49,000.00) in United States Funds, Western Union, administrative taxes and clearance fees, Readers Digest, Publishers clearing house, winner for THIRD QUARTER OF 2009 Sweepstakes draw. HOUSTON, Texas
I feel like I have been completely violated . My letter from Hines Financial Groups and Consultants informed me that I was the lucky winner of (49,000.00) in United States Funds. Also was enclosed was a check for ($2,975.00) to cover the administrative taxes and clearance fees of the so called winnings. The man I spoke with several times on the phone spoke very good English and was very polite. He called himself John Dickson. His name was on the letter as my agent whom I was to contact immediately.
To make it short. He somehow convinced me to send $2700.00 to a so called Tax Agent named Linda Covey @ 4923 Newman Blvd,New York,NY. 11037. This was to pay for the administrative taxes and clearance fees of the so called winnings. He even called me back the next day:(Sunday) to tell me that the monies were received and that my Winnings would be sent to me via UPS the following Tuesday. He mentioned that I would need two forms of ID to sign for the shipment.
I was skeptical at first but, when he called me back the following day after I sent the money, it made me feel like I was actually going to win the prize money. I wish I had done more on-line investigation before I gave in to the scheme. I hope that others that have been taken advantage of will fill out a report and help the Authorities catch these harmful criminals.
