On 12/3 I received 2 Prize notification calls...one from Carolyn Jones stating I won $250,000 and the two packages of $125,000 each was being held on the border of Canada and New York until I money gramed a duty fee to Arthur Watson, Ottawa Ontario Canada--$2300 for each package (TT=4,600 + charges of $92). THEN, she had me call with the reciept # and said I would be delivered the packages on 12/4 between 9&11AM.

I also received a call on 12/3 from Douglas, who said I won a sweepstake prize of $2.5 million. He said that I had to money gram $475 fee to Orett Smith, Montego Bay Jamaica. He then called me on 12/4 and said he made a mistake and I had to send another fee of $2,900 via Western Union to Stacy Ann McKnight, Montego Bay Jamaica. Then, he said to call him with the receipt # and I would get the delivery between 1 & 4 PM. (The charges to send these totaled $183.60)

I then got a call from a man (did not give his name), who said he was from the IRS and he stopped the delivery truck because I had to money gram $2,000 prepaid gift fee to Chief Auditor Jack Murphy, Laval Quebec Canada. I told him I was out of money and could not pay taxes on anything I had not received.

I then checked out Sweepstakes Scams online. I phoned Carolyn and Douglas on 12/6 and left a message for both stating that I suspected these were scams and that they would be reported to the Authorities unless they delivered the prizes..and if not, refunded my money in the next day or two.

I got one call back today (12/8) from Douglas saying that the prize will be delivered in 5 days. I still doubt that.
Here are the phone #s for them:
Carolyn Jones 514-568-1069
Douglas 876-482-3572 & 876-462-7584
The man who said he was from the IRS said that the Ins Claim# was AS20047CA

They Tried to get me TODAY!!

AUTHOR: Not Buying It - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, January 30, 2009

So I get a call today 1-30-09 from a man calling himself Douglas Davis with Winners International 876-482-3572. He has a very thick accent and proceeds to tell me I won third place in their sweepstakes and have won the prize in the amount of 2.5 million dollars. Right away I'm skeptical but curious so I pretend to go along with it. He askes if he can deliver my prize to my home at 4:30pm tomorrow. I say sure. He askes if I want it public of private. I tell him public and he informs me the media will be there. I say ok. Then he gives me a "CONFIDENTIAL" number that I must hold on to and share with no one...1982vj. He assures me the company is accredited with the BBB and Chamber of Commerce. He tells me there are various tax issuse that must be taken care of and that they will pay 90% of the cost for an accountant and that I must pay it back when I receive the prize. All I have to do is pay the remaining 10% in the amount of $475.00 via moneygram or western union. I must send the $ to Stacy Ann McKnight 11 princess st. Montigo Bay Jamacia and that I must have the receipt available at the time of my prize delivery.(I'm thinking to myself yea I just might send my $ to an unknown overseas person hahaha yea right) He even told me not to mention my winning to the people at the western union as they would contact various charities who would be hounding me for my recently found millions. I asked him for his website and he told me it was currently down but he gave me a number to the washington headquarters 202-715-2876. I called and a woman answered and imediatly placed me on hold after I asked my ?'s. She gave me the address of their other office which was 21 Tate St. Las Vegas NV. Anyway I looked all over the internet to verify their claim of being legit and found nothing. I then Found this site now know my suspisions that I was being scammed were right. These people need to be reported and taken down!

I'm sure the names were all fake. Never send anyone money or personal info on a promise. I'm a billionaire if I believe every email I get about lotteries & inheritances.
