SCREAMED and asked WHY WASN'I TOLD ALL OF THIS UP FRONT??? And again, an answer of SECURITY AND INSURANCE!! And I told him I thought this was a scam, no matter what (my friend) said!!And he gave me the CIA STORY AGAIn
which they got off of my FB FRIENDS LIST! And continued wanting to know when would I have the gift cards! And I told them Mass. always scans your Driver's License when you buy large amts of gift cards. He just didn't want to hear it. And don't tell anyone who or what the gift cards are for. Then he said my chk would be delivered to me on Saturday at my work address. Never received.it. then it was Memorial Day wkend. Then, it would be here Monday or Tuesday.. That day came and went and no chk Then,PLS SEND ANOTHER $500 for your chk to be delivered!!!! That supposedly was for the STAF[censored] I told him I had no more money to give him, so we will lend you $200 and you can pay it back when you receive your chk.and I guarantee your chk will be there Min 24 hrs.l finally reed a chk written, supposedly on Bank of America for $300,000.. Then there was a whole RIDICULOUS EXPLANATION of why I couldn't deposit the chk immediately.And NOW,THEY WANT $45,000 FOR AUTHORIZATION OF WINNING AND FOR GOVT BACKUP FEES. And once you deposit the fees we'll send you an authorization code to take to the bank. I AGAIN QUESTIONED this! And all through this ordeal, I was back and forth discussing thiis with the person I thought was my friend who,of course, was someone who was in on this from the very beginning.At this point he tells me that my "supposed friend" has graciously offered to send them $1Q000 to help me. And they keep asking me to confirm my FB account, which 1 question AGAIN and they always say it's for security purposes. In the meantime, my'friend' says to me: Lisa this has been going on too long, and I know you are out of money but, you need to find a way to pay them and be done with this foolishness!" I think you should consider taking out a loan for $35K.Which, STUPIDLY I DID all the time believing I would be able to payback all the money I have borrowed from EVERYWHERE! MY SAVINGS ACCOUNTS and 401 K and then have money to do repairs, etc on my home that were badly needed and pay back my friend(NOT MY FRIEND( As it turned out, it took over a month for the loan to be approved. And at some point, maybe in June, I told 'my friend(NOT) that I WANTED OUT OF THIS AND WHY COULDN'T THEY JUST SEND BACK MY MONEY AND BE DONE!? And he said he had spoken to the GRANT PRESIDENT who said he couldn't. And my friend( said "you've put so much money into this already, I think you should just finish it and get your grant money" Of course he did because he was part of this scam too. In the meantime, they're getting upset because I don't have my loan yet so, they ask me for $200 here or $100 there and they will add it into the new check they're sending me. They kept badgering me for the loan money! Where is it? When will you have it?, etc. Then on July 28, another $1000 to be deducted from what I owe them. Purchase Apple and AMEX GC. When will you have all the money? Over and over!! All the while telling me I will be receiving winnings!! Aug. 6, another $500! Aug. 7, bought a Vanilla Visa and some of the numbers had been scratched off.. He went CRAZY! Go on the website, get another card! In reality, they had already emptied the card and just wanted another card. This happened twice more and I contacted CVS and AMEX and they could have cared less about it! The loan came thru Aug. 30th and I immediately had to send them their cash. Take out $20K and put the rest in a brown envelope and send it out Fedex Overnight Priority to: GILBERT AKINS 6510 W. FOREST RD,APT 201 HYATTSVILLE, MD. 20785. and send them a picture and the tracking number. Then send the $20K to: 11322 MIRAMAR PKWY #1427 MIRAMAR, FLA 33025 to LUISA CASTRO. I WAS TO KEEP THE REMAINING $ 14k Ten, they wanted me to buy $14K worthe of more gift cards.and I told them I couldn't again, because of MASSACHUSETS LAW OF SCANNING YOUR LICENSE.Kept asking WHERE IS THE PKG? WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT YET!! tHEN ON sEPT. 4 THE BANK OF AMERICA started questioning the large purchases of gift cards. Now, the bank NEVER questioned this berore,! Wouldn't you think they would have done that from the very beginning?!! So, send the remaining $ 10K thru the mail. again to: LUISA CASTRO 112322 MIRAMAR PKWY #1427 MIRAMAR, FLA 33025! And again, all the time in touch with the man I thought was my friend! next, they said since my pymt was made they would start working on documents for my delivery, but they wanted my AT&T LOGIN. i OF COURSE ASKED WHY AND THEY SAID IT WAS FOR THE DOCUMENTS.. I said NO! Then they wanted my Bank of America car, I said NO and WHY? For the Grant President and your security. Then they hacked into my BOA CC andtransferred 43500 onto my cc to buy more AMEX CC.I asked why am I paying MORE MONEY AGAIN??!! Their answer was: WE NEED TO FINISH OUR PROCESSING BEFORE YOUR WINNINGS!! I told them I needed the money they promised me and you're not giving me any answeres! This went on, my questions and NO CLEAR ANSWERS! Then, they transferred another $13.5K to my Visa. Then they wanted $3500 more in AMEXgc from the money they transferred onto my card.I said I couldn't get that much.,again MASSACHUSETTS LAW. then again, NO MONEY ON ONE OF THE CARDS, of course, a lie. Then, he wanted me to go to ATM and buy 3 new Titanium phones and the Apple store to buy 2 new computers with the money he had transferred into my acct. I said my cc would not allow me to make those purchases. Then.the last time I tried to buy an AMEX gc the bank refusedit, so I called(Aug. 2023) and they put me thru to fraudwho informed me that someone had tried to increase the limit on my CASH WITHDRAWL and my CREDIT LINE, which they denied. then they informed me
that a charge of $25K had been put on my card but then credited and did I know what that was. Of course I said no, so, they must have tried to buy computers and phones . That was when the bank froze my account. In the meantime, the went back into my AT&T account and charged 3 Titanium phones and opened 3 new lines to be charged to me, which showed up on my bill 10/10/23 under the phone # 401-394-0511.for the amt. of $4302.45 which their GLOBAL FRAUD DEPT. graciously took care of and credited my account in Nov. 2023.Back BANK OF AMERICA they investigated the charges and ended up crediting my account for $ 29,076.52 and closing my acct. However, that still leaves me with a balance of $29K that I apparently am responsoble for because after their investigation they feel it was not fraud. So, I am stuck paying $523 a month o9which I don't have) for the next 5 YEARS! After that acct was closed I opened a new cc at my bank Hometown Bank, Oxford, Ma. They proceeded to hack into that card and try to buy $2000 worth of gift cards at Walmart, so the fraud dept. closed that card and sent me another which they also tried to use to buy gift cards so, that card was closed and now I am on my 3rd car from Hometown Bank/Elan Financial Services.And all along, they kept asking me for my new cards, when was I getting them then at one point he saidl HAVE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR NEW CARD! Also up until October they were still asking for money that I didn't have and wouldn't give them and still promising me money. And telling me they had contacted my friend(not) and he of course, was telling me to just finish this up and get my money! Then on October29th something strange happened, my so called friend asked me if he could borrow $300 and to send him a gift card, he needed the money. Well, something in my brain snapped because my real friend is extremely wealthy and would NEVER ask to borrow money from me so, I called him and he had NO IDEA WHO AGENT JAMES SMITH WAS OR WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUTII That is when I sverered all communications with him and the other personn and Blockedthem from communicating with me in any way. They tried to reach me on Messenger, somehow, on Oct 31,and Nov 6th, but all my passwords etc have all been changed and my phone scrubbed by Apple.Also, there is a freeze on my credit information on all the major credit bureaus. They also have tried to reach me by messages from # 914-574-2836 and 203-679-1817 on Nov 7, Nov 9, Nov 12, Dec 2, Dec 7, Dec 9, And on Dec 9 and 11 they also tried to get back into FB and asking to change my password which of course they couldn't and I was notified immediately and all the other attempts were reported to AT&t and Apple-And right up til Nov. 12th they kept promising me money. But after this horrendous occurrence in my life, I am stuck with a $29,000 Visa bill to repay for 5 years and a $35,000 Home Equity loan for 10 years. Bank of America said they would reopen investigations if new evidence came to light. Who knows. But I am a 71 year old woman with a part-time job, bills to pay and a life to lead, which I think will be difficult, but I will certainly give it my best effort. And I swear, THESE [censored] WILL NOT HAVE THE LAST WORD. i HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. tHANKYOU. Lisa Joseph 1/8/2024
