Global consulting inc. Sent me a letter stating that on jan 27th i had won a drawing in the usa mega international sweepstakes. Serial number 1928129 attached to my name and got the first 5 lucky winning numbers rea4-27-43-10, and won $470,000.00.
Global consulting inc has been assigned by the international sweepstakes organization to inform the winners and pay them off their money. Payment will be made by certified check and will be hand delivered by ups, for a signature drop.
Enclosed is a check for the amount of $2975.00 which is provided to help you pay for the taxes and it is payable to your tax agent. Tax amount $2475.00. You are advised to contact your claims agent chris pope 1-469-277-2151 mon-fri 9-4p and saturdays 10a-1p pacific standard time, to start my claims processing and activate your check.
The check was real, in the amount of $2975.00, i jumped online to check out global consultanting inc. And the site was real, and what they do is ligit, and then i went to the usa mega international sweepstakes drawings, and the site was real, but i couldnt go back far enough to check my name, or serial numbers to see if i had won.
Now i was a over the road truck driver for the past 5 years, and enter drawings and sweepstakes all the time, through 48 states whenever i got the chance, and i believed this was possibly true, so i deposited the check for $2975.00, into the us bank, and the bank honored the check, and put it into my checking account.
The next day i contacted chris pope, and told him that the check was deposited, and waiting for further instructions. The instructions were, to withdraw the $2475.00 from my account, and wire it to albert paul 1219 valley ave greenville, sc 29615 western union
i followed his instructions, but there was a problem, my bank account was at a negative balance already, due to the hard times i've been having lately, and wired them $1784.00, after the transaction, i talked to chris pope again, he said it was ok, and i could pay the rest after i got my certified check.
2 days later chris pope called me back, and told me that they wouldnt send the certified check, till they had the rest of the balance that i owed, so i waited another day, and i called him back, and told him the bank wouldnt let me withdraw any more funds till the check i deposited cleared, chris was fine with that.
It was 8/8/09 now and i wired the rest of the balance that i owed, through out this whole time, i was in contact with this chris pope, and everything seemed so real, my certified check would be delivered on 8/10/09, ups hand delivered signature drop only, in the amount of $470,000.00
on 8/10/09 no ups showed up at my door, so i called chris pope back, and talked to him, and he said that he would get all the info i need to track this certified package down, and then i asked for a tracking number, he said that he would call me back, with the info.
On 8/11/09 i called chris pope, no answer, i jumped on the us bank on line, to see if the check had cleared, and the check for the amount of $2975.00 had been returned, and now my checking account is -$2975.00, and my account is closed now leaving me with nothing. I lost a week worth of lost wages from my job, lost my job, waiting for this this certified mail to show up. I might even lose my home over this one.
