Unfortunately for me, this is the second time I have been in a scam where I have lost thousands of dollars, you would think I should have learnt by now hey? Last month I was approached by "The ATP Financial Group". They told me that I had won a lump sum of $47,000 cash with no tax deductions. The thing was that I had to pay $3,000 to claim it. To put it simply, I felt convinced and did so. Now I'm down $3,000, and the people responsible have vanished. SCAM!

Please take these comments to someone big like CNN. Everyone should here about it, all over the world. Whether it's Japan, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, India. This is seriously the worst thing I have ever heard of. And it's affected so many people! The ATP Financial Group is a scam, and the people involved should be shot!

Well, I was hoping to be off the pension for a little while longer, but now I will be getting on it earlier than planned. The ATP Financial Group is the reason for that. They scammed me out of $3,000. I guiess some people can't be trusted, even with people my age. I hope they keep targetting people.

I guess I would be the sixth person on this page to empty my pockets for the ATP Financial Group. This scam, it seems has been around the block. I spoke to my lawyer about it and he literally said there is nothing we can do about it. Because there is no paperwork involvwed i.e. nothing claiming that they are who they are or that they are going to follow through with the prize money. So as soon as I had hit that transfer button, that was the end of the road. You can be certain that I will not be falling for anyhting like this again.
I want everyone to know that The ATP Financial Group is a scam!

Yeah these guys took my money in March. I t seems like I was one of the first people that they stole from. I guess it's the governments fault for not tracking them down yet. Seriously, it's been nearly 10 months, and nothing has been done to track them down or at least even warn people.
Now, for everyone that reads this, I strongly urge you to avoid this scam and be ware of The ATP Financial Group.

I just received the letter from the ATP Financial Group. But after doing some research on this website and a few others, I'm glad to say that I will not be a victim of this scam! I hope everyone that gets a letter from these guys does the same as I did.

They gave me a call the other day with the same horrendous spiel. I've been burnt multiple times before, so the first thing I did was research The ATP Financial Group online, and I have found that there are dozens of people being affected by this scam all over the US. If you read this page and you are contacted by The ATP Financial Group, let me make it clear that they are a hoax, and they are only after your $3,000.

The ATP Financial Group have been busy bunch of bees. I'm in Florida at the moment, but they left me a voicemail saying I had won that same prize, and in the same respect I reacted nearly exactly as you did. It's been two and a half months, and nothing has happened. It has got to be a scam.
