Facebook International Lottery Kimberly Pickering, Donald J, Shaw I got scammed by Facebook, and now I can't get winnings or money sent, back. Palo Alto California

Two months ago, I was informed by the Facebook International Lottery, that I had won. I was #3 of 20 winners. The prize was $650,000. I said , "Great! When And How will I get it?" They told me that I had to send $350 and they would release my winnings and would arrive by Fed Ex. A month later, I contacted them and told them I was ready to send the payment to receive my winnings. Well they came back to say that I had to pay an additional $150. was not $350, as they initially asked for. Told me that I had to pay $500 instead of $350, because I was being charged to pay "Clearance Fees, Brokerage Fee, and some other fee.

This had come from "One of the Senior Representatives at Facebook Headquarters". or so I am led to believe.I had tried to be civil about this, and even threatened to go to the nearby TV stations, calling the BBB, and the FBI. All I want is what I had "supposedly" won, or send back my $350 That I sent out. Is that too hard to ask for?

I was given all the particulars, batch numbers, and everything. I have been through a lot this past year and a half, after losing my wife and best friend of 22years. Granted, I fell on hard times, even became Homeless. To give somebody this opportunity to even hit such a nice jackpot, was like a dream come true. Only this dream is a total freaking nightmare.  I will not trust any company, unless they show the consumer actual, live proof.
