Two Scams:
1) Send $600.00 to get $5,000.00 back. I sent 600 by Western Union to Jamaica to Alessanoro Williams . Western Union gave money back. They stated they were part of the BBB.
.
2) Received a call from Devon Westin 303-954-4882 who works for customer service protection fraud with Western Union Mr. Westin said my name was attached to a Vegas sweepstakes of $450,000.00, which I had won. Mr. Westin told me I needed to send him $750.00 for insurance in order for me to get the $450,000.00. Send money thru money gram. I sent $500.00 to Jesus Dominguez by money gram. I called Mr. Westin 5 minutes ago and was told Mr. Westin was in a meeting. Mr. Westin gave me information for Frank Marcelli that works with customs. Once I paid the $500.00 he would be at my house to take me to the bank himself with a refund check of $500.00 and a check for 450,000.00.

The "Man" called said hello and asked if I could hear him clearly, I responded, "umm-hmm" and then he went on to describe how I won a trip to Disney land at which point I hung up. I never got what company he was from. After listening to it for a second it appeared to be a very cleverly disguised recording. I was suspicious and looked it up and found that this is a type of scam. I didn’t give the call long enough to establish whether or not he was going to ask for information or money.
