Funtime Bingo ripoff promised to wire transfer winningsnever receivedit overdrawn at bank $483.73 Internet

On August 30, 2006, I won $300 at the Funtime Bingo hall. I requested it be sent to me by wire transfer. They said it might take a little over a week. They did send me a wire transfer this past summer and I got it in five days. Today is the 16th day and I still haven't received the transfer.

I needed the money as I am a disabled senior citizen and live on a small disability check. I've played there for many years trying to win some extra money, but seldom won. This past July I won $100.00 and requested it be sent by check. I got it immediately. Only problem was that the check bounced due to an invalid account number. HUH? It took forever, but I finally got my money.

While waiting for my $300 bank wire to come in, my other checks and purches in circulation, started to come in. Not having much money in the bank, the checks and purchases started to bounce, and each one was charged a $25 Insufficient Funds Fee. Yesterday, my health insurance premium check came in and bounced, and again, a $25 fee. The company cancelled my insurance. My bank balance is now a minus $483.73.

I keep emailing them, as they don't publish a corporate address or phone number. I also attached proof of this horrific balance along with my emails. They have stopped responding to my emails with the exception of this morning. All they said was that bank transfers take time and that's why I should have used Neteller, or one of the others. Nothing more. The bank fees are over $200 alone and I can't get any help or restitution. I thought when I won I could breathe a little easier. Little did I know the fiasco that lay ahead for me.
