Therefore, recipients of the same text or email messages are asked to delete them, and should not respond to them.

I know I fell for it.. I feel ashamed to admit that.. but I wanted this person to penalized to the full extent of the law and my money back :( (fat chance) I am semI disabled.
I was desperate because I hated living my life the way I am.. and also I suppose curious and asked a lot of questions and did not proceed to research her. Big mistake I should have known .
I have a weeks worth of txts and from her and a supposed Fed EX guy .. and the lies and stories and manipulation. I was Stupid and out $225 :( . Shame on me I guess. Please catch this person Please.. God Bless. I am blocking both numbers and I will share them here,

I was contacted by someone on Instagram stating they were Julie Leach and wanted to give me $50k.
I was not aware of the scam until I looked it up. They kept asking me if I wanted to move forward and they asked for my name, address, phone number, s*x and how I wanted to receive the money , by cashiers or cash. They would have someone come to my door in the morning to deliver the $50k.

I did not give them any information and blocked them. I do still have the correspondence between us if you need anything.

I am a Lahore from Pakistan, I had also received an email from Julie Leach in November 2015 wherein she had mentioned about her winning Powerball Jackpot and my email address being randomly picked as a beneficiary to receive donation grant of $2000000 US Dollars.

I had provided her the required information but the bank draft within 6 working days has not reached me as yet byApril 2019 though there was no money demanded as such for transferring the amount, please.

This in short of a story of prospective victim from Pakistan of Julie Leach Foundation from where no response is being made despite several reminders.

I am now planning to write an article about this and also the British Columbia National Lottery and Royal Bank of Scotland London Branch which is holding back my promo winning cheque of millions of sterling pounds all these years and demanding postal and insurance charges of more than 555 sterling pounds first to someone in Nigeria which I have been declining so far.
