Description

I received a message stating that I was chosen to receive $50,000.00 from the Julie Leach Foundation. She stated that she was a lottery winner and was giving away blessed gifts to randomly chosen people. She asked my age, occupation and what I would use the money for. About a week later she has me contact her FedEx agent. A Ben Morgan. He explained that I need to send $200.00 in Apple cards for documents. I asked him to explain and he was vague saying that the company has to document the cash being sent. He then about 10 days later insists that I must send another 200.00 for gas and a tracking number. For security purposes. He tells me okay your package is on the way. Next thing you know, I am dealing with a woman claiming to be Ms. Leach. She is "so sorry" the FedEx truck was involved in an auto accident, she sent me a picture of the accident and mail strewn all over the highway. They are looking for my package. But, it appears to have been stolen! Now I am paying for gas, a tracking number and documents again. This time they want payment using Steam gaming cards. Low and behold almost three months later, I get a message from FedEx agent saying thaty package was delivered at my door. I replied to him saying it was not delivered, I have nothing at my door! Oh my, after they look into it, they tell me someone at the warehouse stole it. Ms Leach sends me a picture, about an hour later of the thief being arrested! Now she says she has to wait for the police to return the money. Days later she states that after I pay $3800.00 (in Steam cards) FedEx truck will deliver the package. I'm not dealing with this situation anymore.
