Dear Sir / madam,
In Feb 2008, I recvd an SMS abt winning a large sum in GBP and later after arriving home in India, I followed it up and got a clarification mail after my details were supposed to have been verified.
A choice of despatch was given, to which I was replied that the winnings and a Nokia N95 can only be sent to me at UAE.
After may e-mails from me, and there being no response at all, even to phone calls, in June 2008, they agreed to send the winnings to me in India. So a sum of GBP450 was transferred by me to one SUSAN MILLER, UK by Western Union Transfer on 11th June(from Dubai Intl. Airport) and payment receipt too was received by e-mail.
Subsequently, on 13th Jun a so-called British Inland Revenue Service, Berkshire e-mail was received intimating me about my subject shipment from FedEx Express being stopped for payment of GBP 970 being tax from a non-Uk resident on personal winnings. This ref was queried from The UK Govt. Customs & taxs Deptt and confirmed as a fraud.
The following are the particulars of persons / so-called officers based in UK- who seem to be defrauding the International Mobile Users for their selfish gains:-
