They ring you up to activate an old account that a third party opened in your name. There is lots of money in there, but you have to pay back the credit owing before it can be released. Next you have to pay insurance then bank searches on you when you have paid that they tell you there's another account owing credit from a sister company. The names I was dealing with are Sophia Stevens, Marcus and Vladimir. It's a big scam. What can I do?
My brother has also been contacted by these scam artists & in fortunately sent them money.
Is there anyone specific we can contact to help him try to get it back?
Or is t as I suspect long gone?

He has phoned back several times and is insisting that it is our money. We have said all along that it is not our money and that I think that he is a scam. He insisted that he is not scamming us that it is his job to track down these inactive accounts.
Thank you so much for posting this about EmbassyBets as it confirms what we suspected all along.
I've just been called by Marcus — same deal... I asked him to release some of the funds first so I could "pay" the re-activation fee ... I'm pretty sure he'll say it's not possible.
