Total money lost $400
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
They said that the IRS needed $199 in tax for my prize to be released. I paid them the amount and the said someone would come to my house with the check. They called back the next day and said there had been an error and they needed and $200 as they had misjudged how much tax the IRS was taking, so again I paid them the $200.
They came back again 2 days later asking for another $900 and at that point I knew it was a scam and I asked for my money back. They become very unprofessional and abusive and told me they would do it, but it would take 90 days. They also gave me the number of the supervisor who was called Milton Johnson.
I realize now I was scammed and I lost $400.

I was also give a confirmation code. He sounded very sincere and I was nearly convinced that he was telling the truth. After I called the number, he called me back to further give me more instructions on how to receive the cash prize. He told me that I needed a invitation and the way to get it was to go to western union to fill out a sender's form with my mother's name and address. He also gave me the name of the merchant banker (Orvett Williams of Brooklyn, New York) to put on the form. At the very end, he let me speak to the CEO James Carter who casually mentioned the fact it would cost $386 to get this done and that it would be reimbursed to me. Of course a red flag went up to let me know that just maybe this was a scam. I became skeptical at that point and asked Paul for phone number to call him back on. He gave me this number #424-235-1261. Paul also informed me that three people would personally come to my home to deliver the check.
The names were Mary Schmitt, James Green and David Williams. He also said that they would be at my home that same evening around 4:30pm. He then asked me what time my bank closed, I told him @ 4pm.That seemed to be a problem for him and he mentioned something about rescheduling. Needlessly to say, I have the phone numbered reversed so that I found out it was a scam. They waited my time listening to them and they were very, very convincing. I'm glad that I answered the phone instead of my elderly mom and by the way, since Paul was unsure as to what I would do, he called back later on that night and spoke to my mom. She told him that I had done some fact checking, needless to say he hung up on her. Never send money to receive money!!!!!
