American Direct Sweepstakes
Request $13,000 to release package incl. $1.2 Million required next day

Miscellaneous

Received a telephone call from Susan Kelly Operational Manager/Gaming Commissioner of American Direct Sweepstakes asking why I have not responded to my cash prize of $1.2 million.

I responded by "not knowing anything about this topic". Ms. Kelly informed me that notification was sent 6 weeks ago. I informed her that I never received any notification. She seemed not to hear and continued to badger me on the subject. I did not adhere and she finally gave me a telephone number that was supposedly the Dept. Of Commerce in Washington D.C.

Ms. Kelly told me to speak with an Officer David Carter in Fraud Div. And he would confirm the truth of my prize. David Carter told me the prize was ligitament and told me to send by wire $12000 to San Jose, Costa Rico to pay the insurance on the prize. He told me the insurance company was Lloyds of London. Later on a call back he changed to a person in Chesapeake, Virginia. The amount was increased to $13000.

I was skeptical and went to the police fraud dept. I also called the telephone co. To confirm the phone no. For the Deot. Of Commerce. The phone co. Said the telephone no. Was not the Dept. Of Commerce and gave me the correct number. I called the Dept. Of Commerce, which was closed, and request the validation of the names David Carter and his boss Stephan Johnson. They were not known. The police called and told me it was a scam from Nigeria.

I called Stephan Johnson since David Carter was in a meeting and Stephan was his boss. I explained what was going and he faxed me the notification letter. After I received the fax I called Stephan Johnson to notify the receipt of the fax. I questioned him about the stipulation saying that I had 30 business days after notification to accept the prize. He told me I had to accept and send the $13000 tomorrow because I was notified 6 weeks ago. I informed him that I was notified today not 6 weeks ago. He said the rules are set and I must respond tomorrow and they had sent me a certified letter also over a month ago. I replied by saying that was untrue and if he had a receipt of a certifirf letter please forward a copy with my signature to me since I have not received a certified letter in years. He also had unsupported irrelivances for all the questions about the phone number, the unregonized names from the Dept. Of Commerce, the police report about them, etc.

David Carter and Stephan Johnson also gave badge their numbers since they were federal officers. The police officer gave me "rip off report" address.
