In these economic hard times I too wanted to believe this was the real deal.
I called JEFF ORTEGA and stupid I followed his instructions to deposit the enclosed check. The check looks so real that I was deceived! My bank has since then froze my account for investigation of fraud. I am now experiencing Hardships due to this well thought out Con. Since these con artists have no morals or conscious I hope and pray they reap what they sow! JEFF ORTEGA &
MS. SUSAN SPENCER ARE STILL waiting for my call so I may pay them via Moneygram. (Lol) I think I shall have some fun. I hope the FBI would get involve, I would be most happy to assist in bringing these characters to justice!
I have since then lost approximately $100.00 from my account due to penalty & fees and now I am struggling for my bank to open up a new account. While I was at the bank today trying to straighten this fiasco, another gentleman with the same stupid letter was involved with the same issue. He lost over $2000.00 from his account. I never divulged any personal info and yet I am paying for this scam. Thank you again RIP OFFs.com for opening up my eyes! Your service is a Godsend and may God bless you all for all you hard work!
