Apple Financial Management Jim ScottJack Gabriell (Promotions Manager) Fraudulent , Money laundering, inconspictious mail Windsor Ontario Canada

On 7/6/2015, I eceived a piece of mail in an inconspictious enveope with no return address.  Did not think much about it I just tossed it to the side.  The next day as I pick it up and  brought it to work.  I opened the envelope and started to read the letter and enclosed was a check for $4,180.00 which was suppose to be part of a Sweepstakes winning that I was suppose to have won.  I was in shock and in awe of receiving this amount of money.  So I called Mr. Jim Scott who advised that the check was good and I could cash i and use it as it was mine.  I was able to cash the check at Walmart without a problem.  I pretty much assumed that the money was sent so that I could pay taxes on the winning. So, I call Jim Scott back and advised that I was able to cash the check and he gave me 2 names of individuals ta I should send money to in the UK. 

This was a red flag but I ignore it and sent the money any way.  $995.00to John Anderson and $995.00 to Frank Owens. The address for them was 442 Frank Ave  London, UK.   He had advised that a Certified Check fo $40,000.00 would be deliverd to my home once the taxes and fees were paid.  I was expecting the package at 5:00pm on 7/8.  Early on 7/8, Jim Scott said I needed to send more money and have my receipts for th delivery to verify as well as my ID to verify wo I was.  I sent another $1200 at that time but it was late in the day so the package got held overuntil the next day.  He said that they would deliver the nxt morning at 7:00am.  He did not leave me hanging and waiting on the deliver but called me at 7:00am on the dot just as I was about to call him.  He of course said that they were held up in traffic and would be about an hours late.  So I left for wok and in a while he called and said that I needed to send another $800. for wigh storage fee because the package was not deliver the day be fore it had to be stored.  I advise that that was not my problem.

  I had sent all they asked, mainly because I really thouht they were on the up and up. I refused to send the other $800 dollars as that was just about what was left from the $4,180.00  They had gotten it all back and I still ws left with nothing.  As I thought about it i decided that I had just been a victim of money laundering.   I should have followed my first mind and kept the entire $4,180.00.  I contacted Jim Scott and told him how disappointed I was that he had mislead me and promised that everything was on the up and up.  He said that he would send the money back but I dont really expect to see it.  The letter said that the prise need needed to be claimed by July 23rd or it would go back into the jackpot.
