A Jamie Bill, from Facebook, messengered me while I was checking my page out and said I won the Facebook Lottery of $500,000.00. For me to receive it and would have to send them $290. to receive the check. She said it would be coming by UPS and I was to contact them to find out where to send the money. Well, I was reluctant to send it for 2 days but I went ahead and sent the money, which UPS gave me the address to send the money to. The address was in Lagos, Nigeria. I was afraid to send the money but for $500,000. I thought I would do it since they said it would be here in 3 days. Well, 2 days later, they, UPS, contacted me saying that they needed another $785. for an insurance paper so I would be able to cash that check. I did not send anymore money and told them that I sent what they had asked for and I want my check or my money back. My $290. They said I wouldn't be getting anything back. The last I heard from UPS, it said That Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO/Founder of Facebook, refused and is holding the check untill he receives the $785. I don't think this is fair because now they are wanting more money which I don't have. email: (Personal Info Removed) I would really like to know what can be done about this. Thank you

- Nothing. Take it as a lesson learned experience. That is the oldest scam in the book, more people then you think fall for it everyday, which is sad. Next time you want to give away money, give it to your local homeless or animal shelter. That part of your brain that says hmmm that doesn't look right is there for a reason, listen to it more often.
