Miscellaneous

On Jan. 24 I received a letter from Paul Nelson of London, UK.in the letter he stated that he is the prize director representing the Anchor Trust Financial Claim department. He also stated that he sent me a letter dated July 22nd informing me of the prize winner of One hundred Thousand Dollars award, in which I didn't respond to because I don't remember receiving a letter on this date. He stated that every year they enter 50,000 names from different sweepstakes and lottery databases worldwide including North America. Paul Nelson also stated in the letter that on July 18th I was selected as the prize winner on this date. He also stated that the draw was held in England where the head office is located. He also stated that my lottery numbers drew lucky numbers 5-10-15-24-31-45 which won in the 2nd category. He stated that I had been approved for a lump sum payout of US $100,000 at no extra cost to me from their North American payment office located in Columbus Ohio. He then stated to contact their main processing office in London, UK at 011-44-779-869-8726 in which I did call.

When I called I asked for Paul Nelson. He then asked whom am I speaking with. I told him my name. He said congratulations on your winnings. He then went on to explain about the winning. I then asked him was this a scam he told me no, I did when the lottery. The letter stated to call the same number and ask for Paul Nelson. So I did. The letter also stated to call before I deposit the check. So I did. He then told me to deposit the check into my checking or savings. I stated that I didn't have either one. I told him that I could open up a checking. So I went and open up a checking account. He then told me after I open up the checking to call him back. So I did. He then told me how much to withdraw which was 2,200. He stated that the taxes on the money was going to be 1,996. He went on to tell me the name of the person and address to send this money to. So I did.

When I opened up the checking account i received a temporary debit card. When I went to make a purchase at a store the card wouldn't go through. So I then called the bank and they told me that it looks like I got scammed because Chase bank, in which the check was written to me hadn't verified the check. So then I called Paul Nelson back and told him what was going on. He then told me that it was not a scam, and that he was going to straighten everything out with Chase bank. He told me that he was going to call me back in 30 minutes to 1 hour, in which he never did.
