Consumer Promotion Sweepstakes..Willowbend Nursing & Rehab CTR
Complaint 121420 Details

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL ALONG WITH A CHECK FOR $3850.00 STATING I HAD WON A COMSUMER PROMOTION SWEEPSTAKES. THE $3850 WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FROM THE $50,000 I HAD WON AND I WAS SUPPOSE TO DEPOSIT THE CHECK AND SEND A CHECK FOR $1920 FOR TAXES AND THEN I WOULD RECEIVE A CHECK FOR THE BALANCE OF MY PRIZE. THE TWO NAMES WERE "MARVIN ANDERSON & LINDA ROBINSON". THE CHECK IS FROM A WILLOWBEND NURSING & REHAB CTR. IN MESQUITE TEXAS WHICH IS APPARENTLY A REAL NURSING HOME. THE LETTER I RECEIVED WAS FROM A CITI FINANCIAL ALSO IN TEXAS. THE CHECK IS ALSO A BANK OF AMERICA CHECK FROM WALNUT, CALIFORNIA.
THIS SENT UP A BIG RED FLAG BECAUSE MY HUSBAND & I WERE SCAMMED LIKE THIS ONCE BEFORE AND WERE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE IT & WE LOST $1020.. SO I CHECKED THIS OUT FIRST AND SURE ENOUGH IT IS A SCAM.
IT IS PRETTY SAD THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE HAVING SUCH HARD TIMES AND HAVE ALREADY LOST ALOT THERE ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE LIKE THIS WHO SCAM INNOCENT PEOPLE! WHAT A SHAME!
