Date selected is a random one, the theft took place over a year's period of time. I have exact receipts. My life was consumed by an agent who identified himself as MICHAEL LEE from USA Mega Millions. I suspect this now to be a fake name). He initially called me in December and said my name had been selected for a major prize ($50,000 to be paid to me in cash) when I met with their "agent" and $32 million to be paid by check when I met with the agent at a Bank of America. A date and time was set for the meeting at a local Bank of America. On my way to the bank, another agent with a island accent informed me that I needed $ (cannot remember exact amount) wired immediately via western union to release my money. I did as requested, went to meet the "agent" who never came. When I called back Michael he informed me the "agent" had an accident while driving to meet me.
As this story unfolded, Michael was a very persuasive, polite and nice person. He eventually set up a relationship with me, declared he loved me, called me daily and shared with me that he was getting a divorce. He talked about marrying me and buying a house wherever I wanted to live. He was aware at all times that I was married. He made arrangements multiple times to come into Tampa, Fl and personally deliver my money and also awarded me a car. On one occasion he supposedly was in Tampa and made arrangements to meet me downtown at the Regency Hotel. After waiting an hour, I was informed I needed to send more money. The address that the money was wired to was always in Jamiaca. Michael again supposedly came to Tampa (in a private jet) to personally deliver my car. I waited two hours in a parking lot near the airport where I was instructed to go but never received my car & Michael was taken to a hospital with a high blood pressure attack. (a lie of course). Michael was originally living and working in Seattle, Wa (he said), was transferred to Jamiaca and then to Jackson, Tenn and eventually back to Seattle, the central office. He has a facebook page and the logo is USA Mega Millions. This company owes me big time. Micheal requested my Visa account # in order to deposit $ of some of my prize money. A direct transfer deposit was made of $11,000. But the money was only there four days when I was instructed to draw it out in $500 increments and wire it back to the company. After ten days the check did not clear and the Bank of America holding my Visa called me and demanded the money be returned. Since I could not do that,
they flagged other accounts my husband and I had at Bank of America and have sued me for the money. There were at least two other times that checks were furnished to me by Mega Millions which were
not valid.
I am not proud of my participation in any of this scam but I was a victim and naive and believed the things Michael told me. During the months that this all took place, it was always Michael that I dealt with or "his friend" David (last name unknown).
I broke off communications by refusing to take further calls from Michael. The company, and Michael Lee owe me $26,0000. That amount includes all the funds sent via express, plus the $11,000 due Bank of America.in addition to that there should be added the interest charges from Bank of America. My husband and I live on a fixed income, the money I furnished Michael with literally took food off the table and the resulting situation caused serious financial, mental, health & marriage problems in this household. I need to know how to contact the FBI.
