I was contacted by Al-Zarqawi Yusuf, always written by Sarah Mohammad, that he was dying and he had a lot of money. He wanted to have this money donated to children who were victims of Katrina, tsunami's and other disasters. The Utility Finance Company was allegedly the holder of the money. Men who were contacts of the Utility Finance Company were, MR ALAN GEORGE, ACCOUNTS ADMINISTRATOR, and DR. VAN DIJK SMITH. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
There were many demands for funds for different documents. At one time, when I told them I did not have money like they were demanding, Al-Zarqawi Yusuf informed me that he had arranged for an associate to send me a certified money order for $9,400 to use to pay these funds. I received the money that same day delivered by DHL. I put the check in my bank account and waited a few days. Al-Zarqawi kept telling me to draw the money out right away so I did go ahead after the few days and I sent it by Western Union to 3 different people here in the USA in the state of Georgia.
A man, who I did not know his name, called me for the reference numbers after each transaction. A few more days later my bank contacted me and informed me that the check had been returned, counterfeit.
This was only one of many transactions and demands for funds. There was correspondence from the Utility Finance Company telling me of dates that the transfers were going to take places, each time there was some reason the transfers could not take place. Al-Zarqawi contacted me via Sarah Mohammed many times asking the progress and reminding me that he was a dying man, in pain and that he was needing to get this done so that Allah would heal him of his sickness and allow him to live.
I still have most of the documents and emails from the Utility Finance Security Company and Al-Zarqawi and my responses. I know now that I should have stopped and reported all of this long ago, but I didn't like to believe that this was all a lie and a scam.
