US$509 Million Payout This Year
Original Copy.
To make a long story short, I called the people that sent this letter to me, and they asked me to quickly send the Western Union Money Gram to "expedite" the release of my funds. I sent the money, then tried to cash the check, which of course bounced, and I was charged the bank fee for the bounced check.
Once I found out the check bounced, I called them back, and they said there must have been a clerical error, and by the way, they heard back from the UK, and the fees to release the funds was actually $8000 more USD. They said that they received the funds, and would send us a check for the balance once they received the remaining funds. I did not send the remaining funds, but rather asked for them to send back the payment. They refused to do so, and then hung up on me. I have tried to talk to them since with no one returning my calls.
Please don't cash the check, and report the scammers to the FBI, this is one of the oldest tricks in the book, don't let what happened to me, happen to you!
