I was contacted by C.E.O of facebook, statin that my emil have been selected as a $220,000 thousand dollar winner. I was told this winner was selected by facebook and microsoft as the 2011 winner. when I contacted facebook with my delivery info. They assured that my prize wil be delivered. But before delivery I had to pay the delivery man, who was suppose to be flying to my location to deliver the prize money.Wen the date came near. I was contacted to add an additional money along with the $270.00 dollars I have previously sent. I was told to send $22,000 thousand dollars for some sort of tax on the won prize. When I emailed facebook security on the matter. They refuse to respond. I have agreed to forward all the emails sent from facebook to facebook. I told facebook that only way to pay taxes on money, is if and when the checks were cash, then and only then can the taxes be payed on such an amount of money. After doing extensive research on paying taxes on won prizes. My finding stated that I was absolutely correct. There is no tax money on prizes that has not been giving to the winner. And should be payed after the winner recieve his prize money.

  • Why would Facebook send you any sort of notification from a Yahoo mail address? If Facebook contacts you they do it from the facebook.com domain. This is also a blatant scam, why would Mark Zuckerburg contact anyone about a Facebook contest. You should unplug your computer and throw it away

  • Well, Alvin!
    At first I was'nt going to answer the email, until I did extended research on the email. When I googled the said email. It lead my straight to the log-in page of facebook. So thats why I continued with the transactions. I also contacted Facebook. When I contacted facebook, that when the C.E.O conacted me on my email. And continued contacting me.

  • So when you googled the term Facebook it took you to Facebook,Hmm big surprise. Did you contact Facebook through the yahoo email address or one from the real Facebook site. Did you bother googling the terms facebook, microsoft and winner? When you do the first 10 pages are about what a scam it is. You got greedy and stupid and got taken. Same thing goes for you Breaunna. You whine because the scammers took your money but you failed to even try to debunk what they were saying.

  • Yes I am sure you did get your money back and probably gave it to a Nigerian price who wanted you to have his fortune. You are right I am bored at work so I browse this site and laugh at just how stupid people can be. Thanks to people like you me and my co-workers have had may hours of enjoyment at your expense.
