I received a letter and check for $1670.00 with instructions to call 1-877-290-8730 in order to get the check activated. The check was activated by James Mills (email address:
[email protected]). I was instructed to deposit the check in my account, I refused and just cashed the check. I sent a
Western Union Money gram to Michelle Buchanan, Reading, United Kingdom in the amount of $970.00, which I did. Next, James Mills (British accent)advised me to spend $100.00 at Walmart and $100.00 at Sears, which I did. Upon speaking to Allen Young (British accent) advised me to sent the receipts via email to
[email protected], which I did. Later that day, my account had a -$1670.00 balance.
The Banks fraud unit contacted me and I was to that I had to repay the money within 60 days, or it would appear on my credit report.
Fortunately, I was able to pay the money back immediately to avoid a bad mark on my credit report.
THIS IS A FRAUD, SCAM, DISHONEST COMPANY. DON'T GET TAKEN LIKE I DID.
