I have received mail, stating that I have won a prize, and have had a cashier's check posted on my email address, from Bank of America for 2.5 million dollars. Even though I know this is a scam, how can I stop it .? Nathan
Just got a call from 202-509-0693 from "officer Robert Paige" said I won 2nd place in the American Sweepstakes network and had to call him back at EXT 107 within 48 hours or I would fore fit my prize. Oh he also said he was from the Federal Trade Commission in Washington.
A guy from this number just called me about 20 mins ago. I was disturbed so i jumped up and Googled the number and i see these other posts! The guy said he was from Dept of Commerce in DC but his actual name went over my head. I tuned in more closely when he said some sweepstakes people were trying to notify me but responses were being returned. Then he claimed to have my address, fishing for me to verify what he had so i hung up. Extremely CREEPY!!
Husband received same call- from Dan Goldberg at 202-509-0685- won a sweepstakes, unable to deliver it, so insurance had to be purchased from James Price at Prudential Insurance Company in Hamilton NJ. also number 609-531-4969 because there was phone trouble on the main line.
Be careful!! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!
These people called my elderly parents today and told them the exact same story! Thank God they are smart enough to know it was a scam! The guys name was Paul! Someone needs to find out who these scammers are and put a stop to these calls so no one is actually scammed out of thousands of dollars in the future!
This afternoon my husband got this exact call from Washington, DC, from a "Paul Young"; said he was an officer with the Commerce Dept. assigned to his "case". I burned up his ear with skepticism and sarcasm, but he kept his cool. I told him I'd be more than happy to DRIVE TO DC to get the $450,000 but he said it had to be delivered to the address on the "entry form". There was NO entry form. I'd like to slap this guy's face!!
