They call and try to get you to believe them - DON"T DO IT. You have won money and never responded to their mail or calls. (They never happened) I am sure they want money to release your nonexistent money. They just waste your time !! SCAM SCAM
I have gotten several calls from this #2024702939 stating I have won a one million one hundred dollars. The last call was today 3/19/15 @ 3:00pm. How can we get this guy he is suppose to call tomorrow? What do I do??? He said a Howard Tracy from the ICC would contact me. His number is 516-874-3865 he is from long island!!!!
No, he is not.
He may have said he was from LI,
but the call shows as being made from DC
and he probably resides in India or Pakistan.
Things to believe:
• There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
• If it sounds (or looks) too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄-
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or a different famous software company, or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you "green dot", MoneyGram or Western Union money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Geeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites, or a statement that your computer is infected.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!
• The number you see on your Caller ID may not be the number of the person who called you!

Just want people to know I'm the Daughter of Phil B and I did some investagating on this scam. They gave my father an account # to sent $2600.00 the acct was from bank of american the girls name was Laura Patricia Moral Moreno. So I called bank of american and told them about the scam gave her name and the account # which is 000920067558. The bank is located at 536 north main st. Bishop California. They are not looking into this matter and it is in the Fried department. If any one gave them money, here is your chance to get back your money. Respectfully Tammy
