In December I recieved a Letter dated November 20th, 2006
It was to inform me that in which I was the third place winner in a a lottery it gave me the ticket number and the numbers in which apparently were chosen for me by thier computer randomly.
The amount was 115, 000, 000!!! I was amazed of course I had my doubts since I had never won anything in my life.
Enclosed was a check in the amount of $2, 996.50 This was as stated in thier letter for the Assistace Fees to help me with the International Clearance fees of $2, 846.50.
The Letter also asked me to keep this Award from the public notice until my claim had been processes and money remitted to my account, for security protocol, to avoid double claiming or unwarrented taking advantage of the participants and the public.
To begin my Lottery claim I was to contact my Claim Agent Monica Simpson of Zenith Financial Management Group at the givin telephone number.
So I did she gave me instructions to deposit the Assistance check into my bank and wait for the holding period to end which in my case was 5 bus. day she then began to tell me that the money for the amount subtracted from the assistance fees was for my travel costs whether it be cab, bus whatever the case may be.
Then she proceeded to tell me that when the check cleared to return a phone ca;ll to her and she would give the directons to a "pay" Center in which I was to go and Give the amount of $2, 846.50 for the clearence fees.
So I did just that! However my check did not clear in fact it wasn't going to clear because it was FRAUDULANT!! I couldnt believe it!!
Well when I called Monica bank while I was at the Bank trying to assure them it wasnt me who had written this fraudulant check, Monica did not answer, finally Monica returned my phone call when I had just made in the front door of my home. I told her of the events that occured 20 min earklier while I was at my Bank. She sighed heavily, " Ok, she said I wasnt the one who wrote you the check! " " I will have our investagators look at this",
I asked" Will you get back to me then? " Monica sighed heavily, Yeah... Sure..." Monica Simpson didnt sound convincing to me in fact she sounded more like she was upset that someone couldnt pull off the fraudulent check correctly enough to get it to be cashed. It has been a good 10 days two weeks I have yet to hear anything back from Monica, @ Zentih Financial Management Group. Go Figure!! I will not stop calling them until I get an Answer!!! So if you got one of these Award Letters be Warned!!!
To be so lifted up and then sooooo let down not just me my Four kids as well this was like a dream come true!!! It was all we ever dreamed of... Finally getting a home, nice Car.. etc...
It would have been the greatest Christmas, But instead we had none. Except for our love for one another...
Hope everyone takes heed to this scam...
Have a Happy New Year and God Bless You all!!!
