Prize Scam Caller Took Money by MoneyGram

Miscellaneous

I received a call from a Mr. Peterson telling me I had won 1.5 million dollars and a 2011 Mercedes Benz. Of course I was skeptical but then he sent me an email describing what I had won and a picture of the car. He asked for my address and said they would be there within a few hours to deliver my prize. He asked if I wanted this public or private. I told him private. Next thing I know he is calling me on the phone to tell me I need to send $300.00 by money gram to a Carlous Reed in Mississippi to cover customs charges or something like that. Like a dummy I did. They just kept saying this was not a scam and that I really did win, but there were processing fees. Which never having won money like this it sounded feasible. Well, by the time they were through coming up with excuse after excuse and charge after charge. I had sent them my whole paycheck. They were really convincing. They are still calling me everyday as they want me to send another $200 when I get paid on Sept. 1st. Oh they promised me this would be the last time and they would be there with my money and car. And of course I need to keep my money gram receipts and they will give me all of this back too.
