      Got a call on Tuesday from a guy posing as Michael Alexander with the foreign accent saying that I had one 5.5 million dollars and a black Mercedes Benz all I had to do was go to the nearest Western Union and pay 350 dollars for taxes he was so consistent he almost had me fooled until I asked a question why not deliver my money first and then I pay my taxes from there the conversation was ended and I never heard from him again it is so very sad that these people get away with millions of dollars by cutting people out of their hard-earned cash that they bleed Sweat and Tears for every day of their lives don't be a fool

      Today I received a call from a blocked number saying he was a Mr. Joseph Brown and that I had won $2.5 million and a 2015 Chrysler 200. He told me to write down his name, my check number, and the attorney's name that would be representing me with my delivery from UPS. He had an accent as he was from the Middle East, not Jamaica. He suddenly hung up, though. He didn't ask for any money or address.

      Had a call today from someone in Salt Lake City, UT claiming I won 3.5 million and a black mercedes.  Told him I would have my husband call  back.  His reply was "you're a signer on the check, right" was the tip off for me.  Bottom line is DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE.

      On Saturday, a lady called claiming she was from Mega Million Sweepstakes and saying that I won $21 million + a BMW.  I asked for an email, and the email explained IN POOR ENGLISH that I had to send them $25 thousand for various fees, taxes, etc.  A man named Bob Ash called from 518-753-3063 (apparently from Valley Falls, NY) to ask WITH A FOREIGN ACCENT AND POOR ENGLISH if I had received the email.  I told him I would never send him any money and offered him to split the prize 50:50; all he had to do is pay the $25 thousand and send me only $10 million.  He said he was not authorized to do that.  I told him never to call again and that I was going to look at what I could do to denounce him.  This is how I landed on this website.  The first lady called while I was typing this, and I asked her politely to leave me alone.  She just called again (this is LIVE... ) and this time I insulted her as much as I could.  They probably will try again.

    I do not know why I fell for this scam...I am normally a rational, logical, and skeptical person. But for some reason I fell for it.  

    I got a call from a Meiers, out of New York. (917-965-8699).  Pretty much the same story as above, I won 1.5 million in a Mega Millions drawing and was sent to a third party unclaimed department.  The sad thing is I didn't believe it at the beginning but that little voice said lets see what happens...

    I won't tell you how much I gave them because it is embarrassing and just plain sickening.  But the day was set. They were all done, everything was paid for and verified.  I got a call from the guy that night, he said they were in my city and they were going to be at my place around 10:00.  

    10:50 and I get a call from a Mr. Edwards (exact same phone number) claiming to be the CEO. He wanted to personally apologize, but he stopped the team from leaving because there was a problem at the airport.

    He said that I would have to pay another amount that was more than all the other fees combined!

    Safe to say that I was done with the mess, and I never answered their many, many, many, attempts to change my mind.  

    Now that I am officially a sucker, all I can do is pray that someone else is not as dumb as me.  You don't have to touch a fire to know that it is hot, and you don't have to fall for this scam to learn it is a scam!

      Am embarrassed to say that I too got scammed.  However, my husband is ill, and will soon need caregivers.  I thought how much the money would help.  I won't tell you how much money I sent via Moneygram.  Suffice it to say, they still want more.  I now try to block the calls, and am beating myself up!!

    I have been getting calls for months now.  I keep telling them to stop calling but they won't.  So today I listened to the whole story.  He asked me if I was  a senior citizen so I wonder if they try to go after older people.  Oh my!! I was going to get 4.5 million and a red mercedes because red is my favorite color!  It is a shame people fall for this.  When I asked him if people really believe this and give him money he hung up on me!  I guess I am not his sweetheart after all.  I wish we could stop this.  I am sure they will keep calling!
    I am sorry to all of you that lost money to these criminals!
