Total money lost $2,500
Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
This person called me said he was from Dept of Legal Funding 1-800-5890 and they (?) had been working on my business’s I invested in that were scams and I would be getting my money back plus punitive damages and time loss plus reasonable attorney costs, in the sum of 48,691.00. He would not tell me how he got my name.
He took me to the OCC gov site and showed me proof that the truth and lending at (1968) was in place and I would get the money from Federal Money Act (FDIC)
He then said I needed to pay the attorney fee up front in the amount of $12,500.00. I told him I had no money but he insisted I pay a retainers fee of $2,500.00 made payable to Green Meadow Group in AZ, as that is where most of the scamming groups were from. He would not tell me the Attorneys name.
My question is, is this a legal business and if I pay the $2500.00 will I get a check for the $48,691.00 or will it be a fraudulent check if one is issued.
Since the business is in VA, I thought this is the place to ask this question.
