There was a show on TV last week my neighbor saw it but could not remember if it was "American Greed" or another show which was about this scammer. He was caught and then he escaped while he was held on bail!!
They're saying that the company is Mega Millions Company and that I'd won 6.5 million and a BMW (1st off never played…) I asked a simple question to the girl: "what name do you have associated with my number (I'm the "winner" remember), the one you have been calling?"
She replied by passing the phone to a guy (a Mr. Jon Bradley or something like that) that kept saying "you have nothing to worry about"…(smh)
So I when he couldn't tell me who the "winner" was, I asked for an email link to the company… lol…pretty sure you know I didn't get that (I did get a heavier island accent)
Western Union and then They would deliver the check for two million dollars and a
silver mercedes. This was the Mega Millions, Winners International. I have the money on my card but I'm afraid to get the money from the bank. I think its a scam.
The money drawn from the account he told me to use my name. HELP!!!
876-586-1131. Asked for web address for company, he is suppose to send me e-mail. His badge # US1995.
Said he spends time in the Caribbean, explaining his accent.
Good Luck
him. Said I won the Mega MILLIONAIR
CONTEST! MegaMillions knows nothing about this company but did warn that it was a scam.I blocked the call 15 times but he kept using another number! HANG UP THE MINUTE YOU HEAR THAT NAME.
The CALLS CAME from Jamaica.
I KNOW WE ALL WANT TO WIN BUT HONEST SWEEPSTAKES DO NOT REQUIRE MONEY FROM YOU---HUNG UP!!
Where ever we r sending the money two the FBI needs to be right there
Documentation and copies of all sorts of verification that I was a winner. I lost a LOT more money before I finally wised up. Please don't get as deep in debt as I did!
It a scam once you pay off your credit card with that account number they give you it needs to clear. If you check your card it will show zero balance but pending. Mean while they pull all the money out of the account they gave you while it say pending. They will try and convince you to go get cash off your card and sent it to them to clear your winning right a way. . They only had about 25 dollars in account to began with.. So the transaction will bounce and you card will not be pay off and your balance will go back to what it was Any money you sent them off of your card you now owe that money back to.

Is this what they did to you?
the scammer's name is ashley williams 202-595-2873 and said she was calling from las vegas, nevada.
a 202 area code is washington, dc.
SCAM SCAM SCAM. DON'T BE FOOLED !!!!!! call your district attorney's office if this happens to you --
718-286-630 is the district attorney office in queens, ny. they need to be told of this scam.
the number that called was 1-876-565-7375 and the number to call to verify your wining is a recording 1-866-996-5007. If this was a true winning, there would be no money up front, if taxes due you pay that out of the winnings to irs, i do not know how to track back numbers but i am sure this also is a scam

My husband has been scammed by, who I believe, is located in Jamaica. There has been many conversations back and forth between my husband and the scammer who goes by James Carter. The phone numbers used are 202-241-8427 and 281-674-9604. He claims he works for Donald Trump. The area codes for these numbers are assigned to Washing, DC and somewhere in Texas. I did a reverse search on both phones and they are registered to YMAX Corp.who provides their network connection. I have sent a complaint to the FTC, FCC, and the YMAXX Corp. Their are others I am also contacting.
This scam has been going on for over a month. Each time James Carter has promised he would be here at my home, or meet my husband at the bank with the check and each time something comes up. My husband suffers from a mental illness and is quite gullible. I am currently researching the "Mega Millions Internation" wich is the message on the phone for the 281 number. Don't fall for a tactic that the caller will pay for your creidt card debt. He did call one of our credit card companies and paid by a check by phone. Those payments were returned, as others. I believe the checking account information has been stolen. He has had my husband call our credit card companies and use checking account information. Those payments have also come back. The credit card companies have now closed our credit card accounts. Carter also convinced my husband to deposit a check that he had sent in a bank account, withdraw the cash and send the cash to someone in Jamaica or Panama. That check came back and now my husband is responsible for the amount of the check. These scammers do not have an ounce of decency.

BE WARNED!!! Dont fall... I just fell hard. They will tell you that when u pay, u will wait for them at home while they cleared customs at airport. The fee u were suppose to pay was for what... So they will ask u to pay AGAIN. For the "customs release fee". DONT!!!

Use a party horn and blast it into the phone and they will stop calling for good.
