Bravo International Lotto ripoff, now what do I do? Winipeg Manitoba

Deborah,

Your not in legal trouble. Nobody is going to come and arrest you or anything like that!

Again, you are not in trouble!

Call your bank and tell them what happened. Talk with a Bank Manager. They just might waive the penalty. one can keep their fingers crossed.

I do have a question. Have you been using 'Psychic Networks' like Kasamba?

Has any Psychic told you that you would come into some money during the last 3 months, maybe as far back as in the last six months?

This question is serious and could be important. These people had information about you that was used to Rip you off. These same people are doing it to others.

Keep in mind. this is not your fault!

Anyway, think about my question and you might come up with a answer!

The check will eventually be returned to your bank, and your bank will undoubtedly contact you about it. DO NOT TOUCH THAT MONEY !! You will have to repay it if you do. Once the check is returned, your bank will simply deduct it back out of your account. You may also be charged a return check fee. Other than that, there is nothing for you to do. If you don't touch the money, you will be in no legal trouble.
You have learned a very important lesson - check suspicious things out on ROR. And remember - if it seems TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE - it is. You don't get something for nothing.

No, I did not send the money gram, but now i'm wondering since I deposited the check for $1997 into my checking account, what should I do? It actually cleared and the money is in my account, how do I give it back? Do I wait for the bank to contact me? Someone help! I don't want to get into any legal trouble so i'm a bit worried and frustrated.

Deborah,

I wish I could help and I wish I could give you practical advice that would help you recover the stolen funds!

The group that stole your money is going by hundreds of different names and in the past few months, I have seen complaint after complaint, warning after warning about this group being posted on the Ripoff Report Website.

This is a Nationwide scam!

This scam is worse than the Nigerian E-mail Scam that is still going on.

This scam is so bad I wonder if Americans are not being tricked into funding Al Qaeda?

Where is this money going and what criminal activity or terrorist activity is benefiting from this scam?

You can try writing to the Post Master General. but I think they already know about it or you can try writing to the FTC but I think they already know about it as well. You might as well write in and add your voice to the thousands of other complaints!

Trust me. plenty of banks have received complaints about this and they won't do anything. I am not sure what they could do!

Trust me. the service you used to wire the funds knows that consumers are being scammed. yet nothing is being done and the scam continues.

Trust me. so poor slob has been conned into stuffing envelopes only to find out that they were not going to make thousands at home and they were the ones who stuffed the envelope which was mailed to you. this group will just change to a new mail stuffer and the scam will continue.

Trust me. someone, somebody, somewhere knows what is going on and is staying silent as people are being ripped off.

So I ask again. is this money being used to kill our soldiers? Is this money being used to build car bombs? Is this money being used to plan terrorist attacks against our country?

Why doesn't our government do something. why doesn't the Attorney General or FBI or Treasury Department look into this? Why doesn't the Secret Service look into this?

Why doesn't Homeland Security get off their lazy butts and start earning their paychecks for once?

I wish I had the magical answer.

If not, DON'T!

If you did, then you'll be hearing from your bank in the very near future, because they will WANT THEIR MONEY BACK!! And regardless of your relationship at the bank, they won't care that you fell for it.

NEXT time, come to R-O-R FIRST, instead of last!
