I was sent a letter stating that I had won a lottery. The lottery letter stated that I was entitlted to the sum of 150, 000 US Dollars. This is from total prize money of 6million US dollar that was shared amongst 40 2nd category winners.
Names were drawn through a computer ballot system of 100, 000 names.
Enclosed was a real check for the amount of 4, 975.00 US Dollars. It was real because I cashed it at my bank. It was a check from a bank in Florida.
I was told to keep things in total confidence. The above amount was part of my winnings. This check was to enable me to pay for the applicable GOVERNMENT TAXES on my winnings.
I was required to pay a total sum of 2, 987.00 US Dollars for the GOVERNMENT TAX. I was to pay this amount directly to the tax agent assigned to me-Jacquiline Shaw (London England) via western union 135US Dollars western union fee. When the winning is processed, I was to receive my final check a lump sum payment of 145, 025.00 US Dollars delivered by FEDEX.
I was told not to attempt to use the check until I called them. I was advised to contact my claim agent immediately for further clarification as indicated within 5 business days.
The letter was signed: congratulations, yours truly, Mrs. Sandra Hunt (Promotional Manager). The contact person was Mr. George Melis 011-44-798-222-1852.
Now my bank is holding me liable to pay back the negative balance of $4, 975.00.
