yes i admit it i was scammed.i forked over $220 to them. the "bankers" i dealt with had me send the money western union.my advise to anyone who does send money to something like this use western union and mark the box"picture id required. request a photo copy of the id to be taken at time of money pick up.most places with a western union have a copier or something that can make a copy of the photo id.maybe this would discourage some of these people . never know |

Thanks for posting your story!
The best advice about Western Union is to only send funds to people you know and trust- not strangers who request money for "fees" for a lottery or other email scam.
Would you be kind enough to tell us which bank and to give us the details about this scam? We can't get your money back, but we can do something about the fake bank site and perhaps the ones responsible for it.
Thanks! |

Hi,
Never get involved any scam either via email or phone calls. These are well organized criminals/theives/scams/frauds.
