(Personal Information Removed)

7/8 Received a phone call saying that I won $550,000 on a sweepsteak all I had to do to claim my prize is to do what they asked. I had entered several sweepsteaks on the internet Publishers Clearing House etc. So I thought this was a real deal.They wanted me to wire $250.00 for attorneys fees and they could process my check. I Did Western UnionMTCN# 672 906 9419 to a Nathaniel Seawright in SC. I came back home and told them that I sent the WU, they then said that they had a problem with the system and I needed to give them another $600.00 I was to purchase moneypac cards and give them the numbers over the phone and my check would be here the next day, so I did what they said.
7/9/11 I get a call asking me if I'm ready for them to deliver my check,and they had another problem with the system they needed another $1600.00 for a seal of approval so that when I got to the bank they will no that the check is mine and that I won this money I had to do it right away because the courier was waiting to deliver my check and this was the only thing holding it up.I was instructed to go to Western Union and wire the money to a Leichton Sloley at 3036 Herminton Pkway St, St Catherine Jamaica I did this WU MTCN# 131 846 7672 $848.00 MTCN# 424 645 4452 $742.00 by the time I got this all done it was 3:00 in the after noon and my bank closes at 4:00. At this point it is Friday evening so I would be getting my check on Monday.

On Sunday they called me said that the system needed $2000.00 and to ensure that I get my check first thing Monday morning that I needed to go and purchase MoneyPac cards and come home and give them the numbers on the back of the cards #1256 0025 6575 15 #1808 5314 4836 17 #2359 0016 6994 44 #0889 4382 0698 58
this was suppose to be for more seal of approvals.
7/12/11
I get a phone call stating that the IRS is requesting that I pay my portion of the taxes. They were to pay 85% and I was to pay the remainder. I told them I didn't have any more money at this point they already got $4000.00 from me. All along they asured me that these funds would all be refunded to me so now they got me over a barrell I either go all the way with this and pray they are telling the truth or get took for more money. So I manage to get a loan for $5000.00 and this time they wanted a MoneyGram not Western Union Reference #44448676 $2041.00 they would only allow on wire per day for $2000.00 Then they wanted the remainder in MoneyPac Cards #5165 1474 8272 45 #0551 7104 5546 67 #8139 9331 2827 62 #7876 1269 6570 52 these were all for $500.00 each totaling $2000.00.
7/13/11
On this day they call me wanting $4000.00 more for insurance. I told them I didn't have $4000.00. They said they would pay half if I could pay half. They wanted $1000.00 in MoneyGram and the rest in MoneyPac cards MoneyGram # 7065167 $929.00, so I agreed to send them half of the $2000.00 and give them the rest when they delivered the check. Over the next 5 days I argued with them that I was not going to give them any more money until they sent me something showing me that this was for real or just a fraud. So they emailed me a copy of the letter that I was suppose to have received in the mail from Global International stateing that I had won the $550,000. While keeping in touch I called our local police dept., they came out and took a report and made copies of all the receipts and listened in to the phone conversations, where my phone would ring every 5 minutes. They informed me that the phone numbers were from Jamaica and not to give them any more money that it was a scam. They told me that they would send it on to the local FBI in Elmira NY.
7/18/11
I still continue to get more calls from them. They agreed to send me a check for $9200.00, if I gave them an additional $500.00 so I did MoneyPac #7842 8711 8370 84 after they gave me the tracking # for the over night express mail that they sent the check with. Upon receiving it they told me to take it to the bank and deposit it and to tell the bank that I knew who the person on the check was. While waiting for the check to come I called my local bank and spoke with the branch manager she said when I got to bring it to her and she would run it to see if it was any good or not. It was no good. So I called them back and told them the check was no good, they didn't know how that could be possible.
7/30/11
They still wanted me to give them the numbers off another MoneyPac Card. I still refuse to So 7/29/11 they sent me another check for $500.00 I will take to the bank Monday 8/1/11. I'll almost bet that it is no good either.
I have names of different people I have spoken with and addresses of people that were on the checks that I received.
I have had no luck getting any help on a local level from Local Sheriffs Dept and Local FBI. They adviced me to file a complaint at IC3.gov. I did that a week ago have heard nothing as of yet
