TransAmerica Life Insurance/TransAmerica Sweepstakes
Complaint 28051 Details

I receive letter saying that i won Sweepstake 250k,. attach was
a check written on wells fargo in my name the amount mentioned above, mecu bank balto, md held check for four days plus weekend
receipt said check would be available on 27th of Sept 2011. About 3 days later i receive a message to call the bank in regards to overdraft. I told the fraud investigator the story, took the verifcation document to prove my innocence, I had talk to the company represent Mike Wells, and was told to western union the money for tax purposes for the winning amount, The other representative was to meet me in the bank thereafter, the western union at the bank. I also showed them the phone call log of messages/calls receive from the company, I cell the representative who was still in operation but the fraud investigation refuse to check out the number on the letter. It was easier for him to blame it on me when the bank clear this company check not a personal check thai i had written to someone. They close down my account at the bank confiscated my disability fund of 674.00 my rental money. I tried to talk to the bank fraud manager who felt it was my responsibility not their to insure the funds would be retrievable. This let me know banks are not to be trusted. These criminals are still in operation and the bank refuse to do an investigation , so these type of things won't happen again to anyone.
