MY INTERNET BOYFRIEND HAD RECEIVED WORD THAT THE COMPANY HE WORKED FOR (JULIUSE VEGAS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WAS SENDING HIM MONEY THEY OWED HIM FOR THE WORK HE DID FOR THEM. IT WAS A VERY LARGE SUM. HE NEEDED MY HELP FOR HIM TO OBTAIN THIS MONEY SINCE HE HAD NO ACCOUNT IN GHANA. SO, I TOLD HIM THAT HE SHOULD FIND A FINANCIAL FIRM THERE TO HELP HIM. HE DID AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I GIVE MY ACCOUNT INFORMATION SO THAT THEY COULD SEND ME THE MONEY AND I COULD SEND IT TO HIM. THE PAPER WORK FROM ECOBANK LOOKED OK AND SO I PROCEEDED WITH MY INFORMATION. THEY WANTED ME TO SEND THEM $650.00 FOR THE PROCESS AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS INTO MY ACCOUNT. I SENT THIS ON 7-20-2011. AND I SENT THIS TO MY BOYFRIEND TO GIVE TO THEM. AFTER THEY RECEIVED IT, THEY WANTED ME TO SEND THEM $13,350 SO THAT THEY COULD SEND ME THE MONEY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DEPOSIT INTO MY ACCOUNT. I WROTE THEM AND SAID THAT THEY COULD DEDUCT IT FROM THE MONEY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SEND. I GOT WORD FROM THEM THAT THEY WERE TO TRANSFER THE MONEY INTO MY ACCOUNT TODAY (7-29-2011). I HAVE CALLED MY BANK ACCOUNT ALL DAY. THERE IS NO MONEY THERE AND DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE EITHER. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP MY BOYFRIEND SINCE I MET HIM IN APRIL 2011. HE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET HOME HERE IN N.C. I KEEP TRYING TO TRUST HIM , BUT I AM QUESTIONING ALL THIS MONEY THAT I HAVE SENT SINCE APRIL. IT ALL ADDS UP TO OVER $2,000.00 NOW. IF YOU NEED THE NAME OF THE BANK OFFICIAL AT ECOBANK IN GHANA, LET ME KNOW.

  • I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM VAT TAX AGENCY TODAY JULY 30, 2011 STATING THAT I OWE $7,033.00 ON 2 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WAS TO BE SENT TO MY BANK ACCOUNT ON JULY 29, 2011. I ALSO RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM ECOBANK TODAY STATING THAT I NEED TO SEND THIS MONEY BY MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 2011 SO THAT THEY CAN DEPOSIT THE MONEY INTO MY ACCOUNT FOR MR MICHEAL BROWN. I DON'T PAY TAXES ON SOMETHING THAT I DON'T HAVE. THEY ALL SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR FALSE REPRESENTATION...THANK YOU...SHARON JOYNER

  • THERE WAS AN ERROR ON THE LAST STATEMENT. THE AMOUNT THEY WERE SEEKING WAS 733.00 NOT 7,033.00. MR . KOFFA STATED THAT HE NEEDED THIS FOR THE TAXES ON THE MONEY BEING TRANSFERRED. MR BROWN TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SOLD HIS LAPTOP FOR 400.00 AND THAT IF I COULD SEND HIM 233.00 THAT MR KOFFA WOULD PUT IN THE 100.00. I SENT THE 233.00 ON ON AUGUST 12TH. I WAS NOTIFIED BY MICHAEAL THAT MR KOFFA WAS NOT GOING TO PUT IN THE 100.00 AND THAT I SHOULD SEND THE 100.00 ON AUGUST 17TH. TO FINISH EVERYTHING SO THAT THE MONEY WOULD BE TRANSFERRED ON THAT DAY. I SENT THE MONEY THAT MORNING. I DIDN'T HEAR FROM MICHEAL UNTIL AFTER 11:30 AM. ECO BANK IS NOW CLAIMING THAT THEY NEED 500.00 FOR A OFFICIAL SEAL ON THE DOCUMENT. I SENT YOU SOME STATEMENTS ON YOUR EMAIL OF WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME. THEY ARE NOW THREATENING ME FOR THIS MONEY. I AM NOT MARRIED TO MICHEAL. I ONLY MET HIM ON LINE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBALE FOR HIS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AND CAN'T KEEP DOING THIG. I WANT BOTH HIM AND MR KOFFA AND ECO BANK PROSECUTED FOR THEIR ACTIONS WITH ME. I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP MICHEAL. BUT AM NOT GOING TO GO ON SUPPORTING THEIR SCAM GAME. MICHEAL STATED THAT WHEN THE MONEY IS TRANSFERRED TO MY ACCOUNT THAT I COULD SEND HIM MONEY FROM THAT TO HELP HIM PAY HIS EXPENSES AND THEN HE COULD RETURN BACK TO THE USA. THIS IS MONEY LAUNDERING. I WON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON GETTING INTO TROUBLE AND MAYBE GO TO PRISON OVER THAT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM.. THANK YOU..............SHARON JOYNER
