Description

A person stating to be Julie Leach told me that I was the winner of a giveaway conducted by her for $50,000. I was to pay for the delivery charge for $500. Which I only paid $200. Then I was told that I needed to pay FedEx for a certificate of ownership of $1000. Which I did pay $300. Then they stated that there was an IRS certificate which I had to purchase for $1500. I repeatedly told them that I was no longer interested. The person in question would not leave me alone and kept insisting that I would receive the money promised. At this point I have blocked the person but still lost $500 before I got smart!
