I am 29 and i have 2 small children. I am struggling to make ends meet. It is 10 days to christmas and there are no gifts under the tree. Today I received a letter with a check for $4,638.52 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I almost had a heart attack literally. I called my friend and she says fraud and I said why can't you just be happy for me? So she says call the people, so I did.
I called the number on the letter and spoke to a man who called himself Brian Chid. I asked him is this for real? His response was "yes congratulations you are the winner of 500,000 dollars". He said all I needed to do was deposit the check then call him back and they would fed-ex me my winnings. I asked him why did it say the check was for legal, insurance, or processing fees. He started to studder and said well taxes are already taken out but there are some fees in the amount of around 900.00 or something like that. I was so excited but something told me to check into it further. I ended up calling the bank that the check was issued from. The lady immediately told me it was a fake and to send it to them because it was evidence for a fraud case. She said they have you cash the check then send them a majority of it for processing fees and they get away with someone elses money and you are held responsible for the monies. I cried, i'm crying right now. I thought my boys were going to have a christmas.
Me being so upset I called Brian Chid back and he started saying I shouldn't have called the bank and why was I so concerned. I told him the bank said it was fake and he hung up on me. I hope you rot in *! @# Brian Chid and Amy Bell. I hope you get caught and never see the light of day again. Warning to whoever gets one of these letters don't even call. I feel sorry for all the people out there that actually fall for this prank. Now I have to double up on the anti-depressents.
