Description

I contacted Attorney Paul Edward Shakarian who said he would be my attorney and help me recover the $8118 I was scammed out of on a remote part time job. he had his IT guy- Christopher help myself and two other gentlemen. we were all instructed to set up an account with Wynn Palace online gambling in Macau, China. we gave him our login information and somehow he was able to recover the amounts that each of us lost. once the balance held what we lost we were told to withdraw. The other two gentlemen claim they recovered their money. I did not. I was asked to make deposit after deposit totaling $33558.00 , leaving that Wynn Palace account with a balance of $41,558.02. Wynn said the account was too corrupt with too many mistakes so I needed to create a new account to withdraw. I set up the new account but now they are asking for 100% of the balance, thus asking me to deposit $41,558.02 to the new account in order to withdraw. I do not have a cent left. All my money taken.
