Complaint 175154 Details

I was called on Sept. 18, 2012 and told I had won 2nd place in a sweepstakes, for $255,000 and a Mercedes Benz, and a surprise gift. This call came from Kingston, JM, number 876-883-3504. Said they would get in touch with details.

On Sept. 24, 2012, I received a call from James Kennedy telling me about all the wonderful things I had won, but I would need to send $170 by Western Union to Douglas Williams, Liberty Hill Discovery Bay, St. Ann, Jamica. He said my winnings would be delivered to my home that day. There would be sheriffs and other legal people along. Phone no. 330-353-9541.

On Sept 25, 2012, James Kennedy called again several times. They had been stopped by officials and it would take $498 to get a release on my winnings. Send another $1,000 to Douglas Williams, same address. Prizes would be delivered that day.

Oct. 2, they kept calling to send more and more money. I finally sent $50 to Courtney Hall, same address.

Oct. 3, 2012, Robert Stewart, 408-663-1781, Badge No. 0091JAW6, told me I needed to go to Walmart, Walgreens, or CVS store and purchase a Green Dot Money Pak Card withy scratch off on back and put $250 on it. Richard Black called and asked for the number and I gave them to him.

Oct. 4, 2012, Richard Black told me there was money transferred to the Bank of America accounty 751802341 and wanted me to send $250 to Carolyn Grant, Same address, by Western Union. I said No. Richard Black No. 876-861-7520. A Mr. Duncan tryed to convince me all was well. I finally was convinced by Robert Stewart that this was legitimate and he told me to go to Walmart and get another Green Dot Card and put $200 on it. Then as soon as I got it he started asking for the numbers on the back. I said no. He had told me earlier not to give these numbers to anybody and I didn't He said they would be picked up when my prizes were delivered. Then the harassment set in, trying to trick me into giving them those numbers, I finally gave them 7 of them to prove I had the card. Then they kept on until I gave them 4 more. But I did not give them the last three.

Several different people called identifying themselves a some sort of official. Jim Thompkins at 861-7530 or 320-353-0541; Nick Hodges, a Federal Reserve Board member at 751-320581? this may have been a badge no instead of phone.

He dr4opped it to $500, I said No.\\Calls were coming in on my cell phone and my house phone continually every day and into the night. One night thety called at 11 p.m.

She said that if winners didjn't receive their mone in the allotted time that it was turned over to them for them to locate the winner and get their prize to them. I was in the car at the time so she said to call her when I got home. I did and there was no answer. I still don't know what is suppose to be happening.

Oct. 11, 2012, Lisa Ellis called about 8:15 a.m., 646-580-1662, and asked me to go get another Green Dot Card with $275 on It. I did and called her with eleven numbers.

She said my delivery is leaving West Point now, this was about 12:30 p.m. or so.

1:05 p.m. Kevin Allen called and siad I need to make a $300 money tax deposit. This would mean another trip to Walmart. I said no. I will be glad to pay whatever I owe when I get money delivered to me. I told him I didn't care if they fcancel everything and just leave me alone.

Oct. 15, 2012, Andrea Green called me again, 408-663-1781, and said eve5rything can be finalized today if I would go to Walmart and get another Green Dot Card for $325.92, and call him and give him 11 numbers from the card. I call4ed him about 11:30 a.m. and he said for me to go home and call him when I arrived. I did that about 12:20 p.m. and left a messwage. At 1:25 I hadn't heard anything more from him. He said I should be getting $300,000, a 2012 car, he asked what color, I said white, and he said I would also get a surprise.

Oct. 20. 2012, Tim Duncal, Code Orange, 876-861-7520, called and said ther check was in mail, and don't answer any other number but his. He will call back with other info. Check is for $25,000. He asked me to send them $2,000 back to them by Western Union when I receive the check.

A Mr. Patrick called, 876-0366-9145 or 676-855-4105.

Another call about UPS delivery, 876-556-0522. Didn't answer. I called Tim Duncan and he said not to return that call.

Oct. 21, 2012. Tim Duncan called about 3:30 p.m. I had not gotten a check in mail. He swaid he would call tomorrow and check should be here by then and he would tell me what to do with it then. I told him my mail didn't run until around 3 p.m.

Tim Duncan called early morning. Said I would need to send $5,000 back to them out of the $25,000 instead of original $2,000.

Oct. 22, 2012. Tim Duncan, Code Orange, 876-861-7520. Said the $5,000 has been mailed in regular mail. Take to bank and deposit, then take out the $5,000 and send to Douglas Williams, at same address. I will also need to send $180 for Eagle Stamp immediately before the 5,000, by Western Union.

Oct. 23-24, 2012, All day both days Tim Duncan kept calling even though I told him maild doesn't run until 3 p.m. Wanted me to go ahead and send the $180. I said no.

Oct. 25, 2012. The $25,000 check finally came in regular mail, in a plain white envelope, addressed to BARBARA, CAIDC, KY 42211. It was a personal check made out to only BARBARA for $25,000 from Martin Esquivel, P.O. Box 133, Sweet, ID 83670, dated Oct. 27, 2012. I called Tim Duncan at 876-861-7520, and told him the check had arrived. He wanted me to rush to the bank and deposit it then take out$%,000 and the $180 and send to Douglas Williams immediately.

I took the check to Amy Sloan at the FNB band and asked if she could run a check on it and she said yes, but it would be tomorrow before she would know anything. She would call me.

Oct. 26, 2012. The phoen rang all day every few minutes. Amy called me about 4 p.m. and said it was a fraudulant account. I called Tim Duncan and told him that and he nearly went into orbit. Then some other man came on the phone and wanted me to get the money NO
W and send it. I told him no. I will have to see money from him because I don't have any. He wanted me to take out a lone, mortgage my house or car, put it on a credit card, etc. I said no and hung up on him.

I alwo told him I would just return the check and they could just forget everything. That didn't suit very well.

Today is Nov. 5, 2012, and I have had many more calls, mostly from Tim Duncan, but some from others, but I have not put all my notes together. But it's the same thing every time. I have told them lots of times that there will be not more money sent until the prize is in my driveway and they can pick up the receipts and refund my money. I don't know for sure, but I believe they have got the money off the Green Dot Cards. I had never heard of that kind of card before and don't know how they work.

I did not get a call on Sunday, Nov. 4 or Nov. 5, 2012. I hope that they have decided that this is hopeless case now. But I have been scammed!
