Is there a scam about money laundering. pay money or get arrested and put in prison?

You got scammed but good. You can go to the police, but you are unlikely to see your money again.

I don't know what they promised you exactly, but paying $484 and getting $5000 sounds like a scam to me from the get-go. There is probably no Wyncreek Group to go after, just a scam artist or two with a story. The time to be skeptical should have been when they first asked you for money, if not even before that.

Hello, Bunny -

If you are in the USA, I suggest you telephone the state department of corrections for your state or the county jail office where the prisoner is incarcerated and ask what the process is and obtain the website address where you can perform the money transfer.

Without knowing where the prisoner is incarcerated, I cannot do much to find the proper web site for you.

Best wishes.

It's a scam, they contact you through certified mail.

This is a scam! First you should know if you owe taxes. Second if you don't run a business then you don't owe sales tax. Third a phone number can be spoofed or cloned to represent any phone in the world. Fourth the ARRA is out of date and no longer active, fifth the Health and Human Services has nothing to do with revenue. Sixth there is no Health and Human Services division for Washington State. Last it appears that all the phones for the State of Washington begin with 360- 407

Could be a scam most likely a scam if it says it is from another state! Just call your local police department to confirm or Google the notice info you recieved to see if it is a scam. Never pay anything over the phone. Good luck.

Before you believe it is real, believe it is a scam.
If they want money from you, and tell you that you will make a lot of money, it is probably a scam.
If you want to try to check, take as much info as you have and enter it into GOOGLE with the question "is this a scam?

It is a SCAM. THEY CALL IT THE NIGERIAN SCAM

Well, if you have some kind of insurance on your Barclaycard you can get the money refunded, claiming you have been scammed.
Contact Barclay and check terms.
If you just payed and haven't received the item yet you can try to block the payment, in this case call the number at the back of your Barclay card.
Effectively you payed over 4 times the RRP for the item, I think this can be called scam.
where did you buy camera from by the way?
