Corey O'Connor (not his real name)
SWEEPSTAKES SCAM PROMISING BIG RETURN
Lauderhill, Florida, Florida
I was scammed of all my savings in 2009. I was told I had won $2,500 million dollars but had to pay the taxes and fees to receive this money. The contact called himself Corey O'Connor and had me send money to his contact in Lauderhill, Florida. I contacted police there to no avail. This Sweepstakes was Gold Rush International with a connection in Las Vegas. However, I was unable to get any authorities to do anything about this even though I recorded their telephone messages stating their requests.
Recently, on May 10, 2011, he called using a different name. However, I recognized his voice and I told him I kneew it was him and he hung up.
The number he was calling from was 954-812-1039.
