Bogus 2.8 million
Complaint
Sandra Johns
Country: United States
A man, identifying himself as John Newman (with a foriegn accent) called from Fitch TX. 806-397-3992. He stated that today I would receive a certified check for 2.8 million dollars. He solicited $450 to cover the remaining cost of transferring the funds and stated that the person arriving would give me a ride to my bank before it closed so the funds would be released. I am writing to simply post this incident. I told him to pass it on; I am not interested.

If he's got a Jamaican accent, he might still actually be calling from there, using cheap VoIP to appear to be calling from "Texas".
