He told me to go to Walmart and call him once I was in the parking lot. He said I would receive $9,000 as soon as I sent him $250 to cover the state taxes but that he was going to refund my $250 because he had the power to cancel those taxes but not until after I had paid them. I knew it was a scam and did not send him my $250.
