I recieved a call from a Mr James Winter telling me i won 3.5 millio dollars and a 2011 Mercedes Benz. I was to send 1289.95 for processing fees and delivery charges. I told him I thought it was a scam and he gave me a customer service number of 953-585-0289 to contact or call his manager at 876-462-7828 and talk to Mrs Johnson. Mrs Johnson assured me that they were not a scam and I won the money because of a drawing I entered from paying my bills on time when I lived in Quaker Hill CT. They had been trying to find me as I recently moved to Chicago so they found me through my cell number. I did enter several sweepstakes when I lived in Connecticut so I thought maybe this was legitimite. I told them I didn't have the money but when they paid me I would give them the processing/delivery fee. They said I only had to pay $400 of the delivery fee I could pay the rest when they came to deliver the check and car later in the day. They said they were at 5191 Caroline Drive, Los Angeles CA 95403. They wanted be to wire the money today Western Union to the Accountant William King at 44 Morse Ave., Bloomfield NJ 03007. I looked up the accountant online and found out he was legitimate so I went ahead and wired the money (MTCN # 011-301-9309). I got a call from Mrs Johnson saying they recieved the money and they were heading to the airport to bring me a check in person and wanted to know what bank I banked with so they could call he manager and tell them we were going to deposit a large amount of money, 3.5mil. I told her Merit Bank. After 5 min she called back and said the bank will not accept the check with out an authorization stamp and she could not get the authorization stamp without having the rest of the money. ($900) I told her I was not going to send any more money because now I think it is a scam and have no proof that this is really a legitimate thing. She gave me her General Managers name and phone number, James Kotter 876-299-4374 and address of 45 Broomfield Ave., Broomfield NJ. I talked to him and he said they would go ahead with the delivery of the check and car if I paid at least $500 more dollars for the handling fees. Now Im pretty sure this is just a scam for more money. They have called my house at least 20 times in the last 8 hours trying to get more money out of me so they can deliver my 3.5 mil and car. Is there anything I can do to get the $400 back? I called the number to check and see if it was picked up and it was at 2:30 pm today...
