I just wonder how much money these people really did get.
Well, Stupid me. I got one of Sam Silver's checks, called Chase bank, who said it was a legitimate account... even to matching up the act. name & address. I had a deadline of June 21, 07 to Money Gram the money, and I DO play online games, sweeps, etc. and had entered Readers' Digest & Publisher's Clearing House sweeps. I thought my wife and I finally had some good fortune, and at that time, I couldn't find anything on the web indicating a scam.
I finally convinced my wife on 6/19/07 to deposit the check through her checking account... deciding we would not send money until it had cleared...
I called my so-called contact, who was very congenial, but did stress that I was near the deadline to money gram this money, all but $100. to receive my winnings of nearly $85, 000.
To make a long story short, she deposited it... on 6/19, and today the bank put a hold on the funds, (6/29/07). That caused a neg.balance, which in turn resulted in some overdraft charges... which she had to use her entire
paycheck to cover... and then some.
We now find this site, and feel like idiots... but worse then that, we feel
really dupped by these people... and I will be taking the copies of the letter, and check to the bank hoping they are able to deal with these crooks.
My wife is very upset, and now worried that she may be in some sort of
trouble, a stress which she did not need. I hope they get what is coming to
them.
The letter was signed by "Sam Silver". I hope he becomes "silver & gray" sitting in prison for this scam, and anyone he victimized gets their money and any additional fees they paid back.
