THEY TOLD ME TO SEND 1,700 DOLLARS FOR CLEARING AND THEN THEY WOULD SEND ME THE CHECK. SO I SEND THEM THE MONEY LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO AND I STILL DON'T HAVE THE CHECK. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

  • Kiss that $1,700.00 good buy.
    Let me ask you a question. Why would they need your $1,700.00 if they were planning to send you $100,000.00.
    If this was legitimate and they needed the $1,700.00 for administrative costs, they would take the money out of the $100K you won.
    Very expensive life lesson.

  • WELL AT FIRST THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE SHIPPED THROUGH UPS OR FED EX, BUT IT TURN OUT THAT THEY WON'T DELIVER THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY. I CALLED UPS AND FED EX TO SEE IF THAT WAS TRUE. UPS TOLD ME THAT THEY WON'T DELIVER THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY AND FED EX TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD DELIVER IT, BUT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. SO WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM AGAIN THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO DELIVER IT THROUGH A SECURE CARRIER LIKE THE ONES THAT THE BANK USES. WELL THEY WERE SOPPOSED TO DELIVER IT ON MONDAY AND I HAVE STILL NO RECEIVE IT AND NOW I AM UNABLE TO CONTACT THE PEOPLE BECAUSE THE NUMBER THEY GAVE ME DOESN'T GO THROUGH. I HAVE MY RECEIPT AND THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHOM I SEND IT TO AND HIS ADDRESS. I ALSO HAVE THEIR BADGE NUMBERS AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE I ASKED THEM FOR ALL THAT JUST IN CASE A THING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN. NOW ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS CAN I SUEW THEM IF I EVENTUTALLY DON'T GET THIS CHECK?

  • Do you think Jr. ever got his money?
    I can't believe he actually sent the $1700.
    Duh!

  • The check is in the mail.
    Sorry to tell yah, but that check is probably always going to be in the mail for the rest of your natural born life.
    Hopefully I'm wrong and that check shows up on your doorstep. If it does let us know.

  • i understand what you saying thats waht i thought to but they said that they were two certified checks in other words that this was already written up so they con't take it out that money the people that called me were the customs department. i do have their telephone number, i have been calling them and they keep telling me that is going to get shipped on this date but it never reaches me and they even have given me a tracking number.

  • FIRST OF ALL IT DOEN'T MATTER WHAT AGE I AM AND YOU DON'T NEED TO BE INSULTING ME EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES SOME VERY STUPID AND EXPENSIVE BUT ITS A MISTAKE ABET THAT IF YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE CALLED YOU WOULD HAVE GONE FOR IT TO. ANYHOW I HAVE CALLED THESE PEOPLE ON THE PHONE AND I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FOR OVER TWO WEEKS ALREADY. I AM LOOKING FOR A REASONABLE SOLUTION NOT FOR INSULS SO IF THATS WHAT YOU HAVE DON'T REPLY AND I THINK I CAN POST ANYTHING I WANT AS MANY TIMES THAT I NEED TO.
