Global International Lottery & Sweepstakes G.I.L.S.
Complaint 174737 Details

I received a post card advising me to go to the Bethpage P.o. to pick up a package. This package contained a letter telling me that I had won a sweepstake lottery in the amount of 15,5M in USA cash, but that I had to pay several different fees adding up to $9200. I went along with it not realizing that I was being scammed.My bank started to question my withdrawels and told me it was a scam and that I should go to my local police precint where they wrote up a report on what had happend which I did but as of this date they are unable to find these people. Most of the money was sent be MoneyGram or Western Union to Kingston Jamaica W.I. The letter was sent to me by Celeste Cunnigham at 3028 Grace Avenue, Bronx N.y. 10469 but I think it was
Cunningham at 3028 Grace Avenue, N.Y.10469 but I think that was a made up name. The head of the company was Shawn Sanders. When my bank saw all the money I was withdrawing they advised me that it was a scam and I should report it to the police dept. which I did. They wrote up a report and advised me to stop sending any more money,which I did.
