MAN I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU. WHEN SOMEONE ASKS FOR YOU TO SEND THEM MONEY UPFRONT, THAT IS THE FIRST RED FLAG. THEY ARE GETTING RICH OFF PEOPLE WHO ARE DESPERATE & WANT MONEY. "WHO IN AMERICA DOES NOT WANT MORE MONEY"? THAT IS WHY THEY PREY ON PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO ARE VULNERABLE. YOU NEED TO REPORT THIS TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. MONEY WAS EXCHANGED BY YOU & THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT. PLEASE ANYONE WHO READS THIS, DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW. SOMETIMES THESE PEOPLE CALL FROM OTHER COUNTRIES & WILLING PEOPLE SEND MONEY TO THEM, THINKING THEY WILL GET RICHER. ALL THAT HAPPENS TO THESE POOR SOULS LIKE YOU IS, YOU ACTUALLY GET POORER BECAUSE NOW YOUR OUT OF THE MONEY YOU SENT THEM & YOU WILL NEVER GET IT BACK. "GOD BLESS AMERICA & ALL HONEST PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE".
This is a SCAM!
First of all,
How did they get your telephone number?
They don't know the name of the person they're calling, they only have a telephone number and it's a recorded message.
Why are they asking you to go to a website, that doesn't exist?
Why are they asking you to send them money first, in order for you to get your money?
I googled Alan Freidman (the man on the site) and apparently someone named Alan Freidman has been convicted for mail fraud.
From the site: "On January 3, 2008, Alan Freidman was sentenced to 2 months' probation and 600 hours of community service. During his term of probation, Alan Freidman is not permitted to sell business opportunities or engage in telemarketing without approval of the probation office and the Court."

While I don't want to say that they are the same person, chances are this phone call is not legit.
