Then Walter Gibbs at US Customs in Miami. He said they messed up. I had won 6.2 million, and I needed to pay an additional $55,000. Then the financial advisor for Holiday Sweepstakes called and she said they couldn't award the number 1 package to the first guy. And that my award was being held in a locker and I was being charged $13,000 a day. Then a woman from the Consumer Protection Bureau, Julie Freipas, with a foreign accent called. She said she was going to get the $13,000 a day fee voided, but I would have to pay $42,000.00. I went to the Peoples Savings & Loan in West Liberty, OH. I asked for a bank check both times, and they gave them to me. A day or so later the bank called and asked me if he wanted to stop the check, and I said no. The bank and the postal clerk tried to warn me.
I am still getting calls. Yesterday, July 31, 2017, a man who said he was with the Federal Trade Commission.

I called the "Consumer Protection Bureau" on January 29, 2016, and talked extensively to a Mr. John Perkins. He gave me the bonded agent's names as either Nathan Hinson in Bogata, TX or Ken Walterkotte in Quincy, IL. They provided the agent's addresses but would not give us their phone numbers.
I did a thorough research on both agents by calling the city hall, chamber of commerce, and police, of both towns, and could not independently verify either agent. The name of the first agent was Nathan Hinson, and his address was in the small town of Bogata, TX, on a county road in a very rural part of N.E. Texas. Neither the local police nor the town hall could confirm his address or existence. Similarly, the city hall in Quincy, IL, confirmed that Kenneth Waterkotte does live in Quincy, IL, but his address is for a house in a very sketchy part of town. A local lawyer said he had been recently sued. We were not given phone numbers for either agent.
Mr. Perkins also gave me the name of his bank as "Finance Trust Bank & Insurance, 33 Liberty St, NY, NY 10045, (347) 695-1353. I called this number and got a recored message for "Line Trust Bank & Insurance." When I googled that I address, I saw that this is the location of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York! Also, there is no web site for "Finance Trust Bank & Insurance" or "Line Trust Bank & Insurance."
Also, the "Consumer Protection Bureau" is not a government agency, though its name is similar to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is a legitimate government agency.
I did not send them any money. I know that the ScamPulse.com has already seen this scam and has written on it in April, 2014. I simply wanted to confirm that it is still going on and that people should be aware!
