Then asked if I could deposit money that afternoon and I said it would have to be tomorrow, which was Sat. Oct. 6. I was instructed to get 2400.00 cash and deposit the money into a Wells Farge account in the name Richard Ellis. Account number 793-864-1113 at phyiscal address of (Personal Info Removed). I deposited 2400.00 cas to the above account on 10-6-12 and was instructed to call him on his personal cell phone once the funds were deposited. I call John Wagner at (Personal Info Removed). I left a message with the reciept number and transaction # 0270037 at 10:54am. They arranged for a cashier check delivery on friday Oct. 12 at my home between 10-12 in the morning. He contacted me everyday as he was instructed to do until delivery. Today, Thursday, Oct. 11 at 1:40pm I was contacted by Brenda Taylor from Continental Sweepstakes to notify me that the first place winner was an illegal alien and could not recieved the prize which left the first place winning of 4 Million 7 hundred thousand and after New Jersey taxes I would recieve 3.5 Million. So therefore I would not recieve my previous prize check on friday. Brenda Taylor said she would contact my Section Chief, John Wagner and he would be contacting me. I asked Brenda about the 1% GAOREG money I would owe and she said didn't know and the representive will talk to me about it. When asked again about the legitmatcy of this sweepstakes she re-assured me it was and said I could go the website and I would listed a the 1st prize winner. The website is www.uscontinentalsweep.com. I was then instructed to put in my prize code which is XWT1221 and my name did appear as the prize winner of 3.5 Million. I then did some more research to find that are never paid by anyone elseif you are a real sweepstakes winner. Then I called Alliance Sweepstakes Service and was told they had 20 reports about this company just today.
