Received a call from County Crock. Attorney Paul George speaking. I have an important package for you(giving my name). Please call me at this number. I will not call back. It is a scam>
I rec'd a phone call this morning around 10 AM (2/2/13) tell me that in Nov. 2012 I donated $1 to the Wounded Warrier Project at the super market when I purchased Country Club Butter. The caller's name was Nick McKenzie. I asked if he was from Puerto Rico because he had an accent and he said "NO! I'm from N.Y." He said I was the 2nd place winner in this drawing and I could take the money or give it to charity. I told him to give it because I was concerned he was a scammer. But he said if I took the money I could give it to any charity I want. He said something about the Negro College Fund but I didn't understand that. He asked when I'd like this certified check to be delivered on Monday...between 10 am and 2 pm? or later. He said Fed X would bring it...there would be cashier's checks and 1099 forms and something from a lawyer. He asked if I had credit, debit cards or a saving account. I said NO! I said I was very low income and had none of those accounts. He gave me a serial number for the check and a confirmation # for when it's delivered. I would also have to provide identification. And did I want it to be private or public with photos? I said public. He told me to be it confidential for my own protection. Someone could steal the check but then he claimed they had the serial number.
Well, Monday came and went....no check between 10 am and 2 pm. Of course I didn't call Nick McKenzie at the above phone number to inquire where it was. Thankfully I saw other entries on this site with a similar mode of operation but with different names, etc. Nick kept telling me to call him with any questions. I hope he can be stopped before he scams any other senior citizens. Then tonight I got a call from some woman telling me I entered a survey about WalMart and they wanted to send me a gift card for $100 and other money. Told me to go to the computer and type on "Waka something.com...can't remember the entire site..After asking me to fill out my name, etc...she wanted me to enter my credit card or checking account so she could charge me a one time fee of $2.99. She was very rude to me when I refused. That's two scammers in 2 days. What the H-ll is going on? The number she called from is: 757 913 1061
