Victim Location 82001
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
This guy said I had a cashiers check for $850,000 at JFK airport but that I had to pay $1,581 for a background check before I received this check by Brinks. He said it had to be in cash. He said it was for a sweepstakes and I was the second place winner. He said the tax for it was already paid by the sweepstakes company. He sounded very convincing with a perfect American accent and excellent grammar! He said the fee had to be paid ONE day before the prize was delivered! He said the previous day that he would pay that fee and then the next day that he just couldn’t get approval! Pay in cash up front ONE day before delivery! THAT was the tip off that this was a big rip off! After a heated argument he said to call him back if I was still interested. ScamPulse.com informed me this is a common scam!
