Complaint 7349 Details

Was notified by friend that he received an amount of $500,000.00 fron this facebook promotion and when his money was delivered, saw my name on list. I then received an email regarding the promotion, gave some information to prove I was who I said I was then was told to send $500.00 to a Jimmy Murray in Mineral Wells, TX USA. I did only because friend said he got his money and I would get mine. When delivery of money did not happen I contacted agent Jenny Wilson and she informed me that the IRS confiscated my money and the guys delivering it and I needed to pay $1500.00 to have it released. I questioned this and was reassured that this was not a scam and friend got his money. So, I could only send $1100.00 at the time and that they were going to help with the extra $400.00. Well when nothing happened, again, I contacted Jenny Wilson and she said she and her company was unable to help and she almost was fired over the incident and needed the extra $400.00. By that time my check had been deposited and I was able to pay that. Still no money arrived and when I contacted Jenny again, she informed it was not enough and needed $2500.00 more. I refused and told her that she was a fraud and that I did not have that kind of money. No credit cards, nothing, she and her so called company had it all. In one of the original emails the CEO of facebook's name was mentioned so I researched and found that the name was the CEO, but no where could I find anywhere to inform him of the situation. So I emailed him, using the orginal email address and a reply came back the money was in my name that I was responsible to getting it by paying the $2500.00. I left it at that and again told them they were a fraud and they had all my money and would not get anymore. I demanded that they return the money I sent them but was informed that money was gone used for paperwork and the IRS had the rest. I do not believe this and have filed a complaint with Western Union, a police report, in the process of filing with my bank, the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General for Colorado. The amounts I gave in description do not include the Western Union Fees but the amount typed in damages does include the fees by Western Union and my bank.
