I contacted him through email to intimate me as which office I have to contact for receiving my prize money.He gave an indication of contacting Quick Delivery Office Suppl, Customer/delivery Derpartment located at Central Park Est/Mosely Rd, Trafford Park, Manchester,M17 1TT UK. The name of contact person was told as Mr Alex Woodridge (C.R.O). I contacted the said office through email to which I was replied that my delivery is ready for despatch alongwith the covering documents but I needed to pay an amount of 580GBP as nonresidential winning Tax in advance. I insisted for recovery of Tax out of my winning money.To which they refused and referred me to another person named Mr Andy Smith Financial Controller Power Ball International Located at 79 Chichester Street London UK.His email address was shown as Power Ball([email protected]).I contacted the said person who convinced me that it is real winning money and I need to pay the Tax of 580GBP through WESTERN UNION. Considering it real one I remitted the amount of 580GBP (costed at 1045.11USD) to Quick Delivery Office Supply Person named Ali Asif vide MTCN No 793-288-6153 dated 02/19/2012. They confirmed the receipt of money and informed that my parcel is being sent through Diplomatic Agent.They instructed to remain in contact with their Attorney in US who will be facilitate delivery. On contacting the said person he sent me a form to fill and send him back alongwith copy of my ID.I did that. He sent me an email that to ensure that I am paid the winning prize they have changed the modalities of payment and instead of cheque they are sending the money in cash. At this stage I suspected that they are playing a game as I know that carriage of such an huge amount in cash is niether nor permissible. I contacted them showing my doubt to which they have been trying to convince me that every thing has been taken care of and that I will get my parcel at my residence.When so called Diplomatic Corrier reached in New York he made call from his No347-434-4221 on Feb 21 2012 that he is facing problems in getting clearance of package and that he needs $10,000 towards getting clearance. I told him that I am not in a position to pay this amount and told him to contact the Attorney who has been appointed by the Delivery Company and not me as I need my parcel here at my residence.Finally the whole team remained insisting on me to manage at least 50% and that remaing will be paid by the Power Ball International. I told them that I am not in a position to pay this amount and that already worried about what I have paid in shape of Tax $1045.11.
I am also copying aand pasting the emails frm Power Ball and Delivery Company as ready reference. I have scammed by them and lost the amount of $1045.11. I am requesting the Departments controlling the Cyber Crimes to Please come forward and help me in getting my lost money:-

Dear :Mian Muhammad Rashid,
Sequel to your email received, please be informed that you have a winning check and a certificate which amounts to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Great Britain Pounds in the custody of Quick delivery office. Be also informed that your winning check has already been issued out and as such can not be returned back to this office nor tampered with, as it has already been signed by the management and board of this program. More also, there is a hard cover policy on your winning that makes it impossible for any amount to be deducted from your winning until it gets to you the beneficiary.

I understand you might be skeptical about paying your tax charges? Please do not be skeptical or nonchalant as your winning is real and your transaction legal. There will be absolute no way you will make your payment to quick delivery office and not receive your winning check. More also, your winning check will clear in any good bank in your country.

As the case may be, i will advice that you look up a means of paying the non residential tax charges to quick delivery office as it is not a major tax that is why it is not a big amount.We already paid for your delivery. I stand and assure you that your winning will be delivered to you as the beneficiary.

I suspect that sone one might have used his good name. I am copying and pasting an email addressed to me on the subject:-
