I received a call today from John Perren (202)580-8157, he said he was from the Dept. of Justice Criminal Division. He said I won a sweepstake and it was being held at JFK Airport in New York so I should call Charles Hitchcock at (718)213-4439 and give him the claim number he supplied me with. I did call a man answered and said he was Charles Hitchcock and I had won $875,000.00 in a Texas sweepstake and they were the Holding House until winners make their claim to the winnings. Of course I asked a few questions and I noticed he got irritatable,,,,,RED FLAG FOR SURE. I stated to him I did not want it he could have it or send it back to where it came from. Don't these people ever stop, get a life.
I received a call last week from the "Justice department" I am former military and both my husband and I are currently in school and funds are limited. My friends said to call , 'cause what could it hurt? A man from (282)580-8164 called me, he said he was working for the Justice Department out of Texas with a DC(I know because I lived there) phone number and a strong accent. I asked in conversation where he was, (he said TX) and where he was from ( he said Puerto Rico). He told me to call (718)213-4439 a NY phone number and give them, the them being US. Customs, a package code and I would receive my $875,000. What a crock!
received a call today week from the "Justice department" A man from (202)470-3353 called me, he said he was working for the Justice Department in DC. He said his name is John Russe and had a strong accent. He told me to call (718)213-4439 a NY phone number and give them, the them being US. Customs, a package code and I would receive my $875,000. He went on to say that letters had gone out to me and I had responded. He quoted an address which I informed him was not accurate. He stated that I could provide the correct info when I called the 718 number. After chit chat for about 2 minutes, I informed him that I was fully aware that this was a scam but I was really enjoying speaking with him and would love to talk some more in order for the call tracing to continue :) Boy, did that change the tone of the conversation.....he called me ignorant and said he was going to tell them not to give me the money because I accused him a running a scam.....It was hilarious because he was so upset....he called me stupid and undeserving.....I said ok, what ever you say, just keep talking....he hung up! FREAKIN FUNNY but this guy needs to be STOPPED
