Why would you give money to get money ... if they are truly giving you the gift they say they are then they can most certainly take any fees or taxes out of that money. I hope you find someone to help!
I recieved a call on friday telling me my approval number and a 206 number to call back and they are a scam they want me to deposit money to recieve the other money lol....
I also called western union (money wire) that handles things like this and the man instantly stopped me when i broughtt up the situation and told me it was fraud
This afternoon my daughter got a call from 571-515-5555. The accent was from India , very hard to understand. The man gave her a file code # and gave her 206-792-9451. I didn't think it sounded right so I called, it rang about 30 times then went to a busy signal. 2nd time I got a hold of someone , Frankie, the person she was supposed to give her file # to was on the other line, call back in 2 min. I asked the girl on the phone where she was located, she replied Washington D.C. Looked it up and it is a Seattle, wa #.
