On June 16th 2007. I recieved a letter with a check stating that I have won money in a Lottery. I didn't think to check with the bank or with the company for more information. I did ask my bank to verify the check before cashing it. The bank held the check for two days and then made the funds available for me to withdraw. I called the company to get futher information of where to send the clearance fee.
The agent Kelly Hilton instructed me to send the money through money gram. She gave me the persons name to whom I was to send the money to and to call back with the information. I then called back on Thursday to find out if the money had be collected and when my package would be sent out. Ms. Hilton informed me that the package would arrive in three to four days. I haven't recieved anything as of Saturday June 23rd. I know in my heart that I've been had and that know I will have to repay the bank money I don't have.
I really feel foolish and dumb. I'm just hoping for some assistance with retrieving the money that was swindled from me so that I can retain my credit with my bank. It should be more information for individuals like me to check on scams as this one. It so easy to be taken in and the checks looks so real. If the banks can't tell how are we. My bank cleared the check in two days before retrieving the money themselves.
