How it all started was I got a call the frist of November from a lady name Linda who was selling magazines for Readers Digest. She tried to get me to by magazines for a sells price, Bt I told her I don't give my visa card number to people who call me with selling things if I didn't contact them first. My phone is provided so I don't know how they got my nmber in the frist place. So linda said ok bt they were going to enter me in a Thanksgiving Sweepstakes so I said ok and hung up the phone not thinking about the drawing b/c you uselly don't win anyways.
Well later in the month i got a letter from a lady by the name of Cynthia Jones stated that I won $55,400 and had a check enclosed of $4940.00. They wanted me to deposite it in my bank account to pay for processing insurance and international taxes. Not knowing what was going on I deposit it in my saving account and the bank told me they would put it on hold until it clears.
So I called the number that was on the letter and a man named David Cohen who said he was filling in for Cynthia, she was on med. Leave. He told me he was located in New York and his work hours was from 10am - 7pm mon-fri. He also told me that the check would clear the next day and when it did to call him back to wire the money to the Federal Government to pay the taxes. Well the next day the check didn't clear.
When I tried to call him back I didn't get an answer the phone just rung then stop. So the next day we went to the bank and they told me the check was fake and who ever send me this check tried to scam me. But they put a cash hold on my account, meaning that I can't take checks in that bank again can only deposit cash, but the thing is if they couldn't tell the differce in the check how am I suppose to tell. Their train for that and the branch manager is the one who deposit the check. I don't know got figure but now I can only bring cash to the bank.
