I receiced a letter in the mail stating I had won $56, 350.00 usd and a check for $2, 550.00. I had to call to register my claim. The letter stated that because of international laws that were passed in 2007, no out of pocket money can be charged.
So the $2, 550.00 check would be used to pay for processing fees. All I had to do was deposit it into my bank and when it clears send the check back and they would send me a certified check for the remaing amount $53, 800.00.
Figuring something doesn't sound right I never gave out any information about personal or bank information, but I did deposit the check, sure enough it came back as a counterfeit check!
So I called Bianca Paris back and she regretfully apologized for the trouble and said that I needed to get the check from the bank and call her so I can fax it to her and she would issue my a certified check and have it delivered certified mail.
Now very suspicious and I feel very dumb right now because I can't figure out the scam, I call her back 3 - 4 and she keeps hanging up on me but I keep calling because now I'm mad. Finally she answers the phone and tells me to stop calling her because this is a scam and that she is having a bad day and doesn't need this crap. I told her I was going to turn her in and her coment was "to who? Your mother"
I would like to know how we can stop these people from doing this. I was not out anything but maybe someone out there is. My bank told me the company the checks were drawn are were probably stolen. That companies name is Multifamily Internet Ventures, LLC / LeasingDesk Insurance Services out of California.
