Got a call from a John Karakakas, saying I won $750,000. I was given a bunch of info (package #, security code, id #) and told that to claim the money I had to wire money to a neutral third party accountant, Paul Bashford. After wiring the money, I would meet the people for my winnings at my bank. I wired the money but did not tell them the MTCN #. Turns out in the States you do not need that number to pick up money from Western Union, just a photo ID. THe 'neutral' party picked up my money the next day. Now, they are calling me and at first saying I refunded the money, until I tell them that Paul took it. Then they tell me that he was arrested only a week ago and that they are sorry and will refund my money, etc etc. Now they want me to wire $100 so I can get my winnings and my $400 back. All phone calls came from a 876 area code. here is the following numbers and names they used.

John Parakakas - Manager
Paul Green - Assistant Manager
Paul Bashford - Accountant in Miami Florida
Hazes Bazis - Accoutant in West Palm Beach Fl

876-387-1874
876-845-2476
876-298-0513

Report this to your local police, if there is enough reports they might actually try to stop these people.
