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
I received a call from this number today. Caller said it was Dan Goldberg from U.S. Dept Commerce and asked if I had been notified of an American Sweepstakes 2nd prize of $450,000.00. He asked several questions about notification to which I answered "no." I asked "are you really from the U.S. Dept. of Commerce?" and he said "yes mam." "You can either say - I want to accept this prize" or "no, thank you" and no questions will be asked. I asked for a moment to confer with my husband and he said "yes, mom" and when checking with my husband, he felt that it was a scam so I said "no thank you Mr. Goldberg."
I received a call from this number today. He said he was John Green from the Dept of Commerce and asked if I had been notified of an American Sweepstakes 2nd prize of $450,000.00. He gave me the number of Russel Bennet was employed by Prudential and it would be necessary to talk with him to obtain an insurance policy on the money. He told me where to go to send the $4,500 to him for the required policy -- Western Union. Fortunate that I had to go to my bank to get the $4,500 in cash to send. I asked one of the bank employees about the situation - both Green & Bennet had both warned me not to reveal what I had won. The banker call them both to have them to explain the need for insurance. After a brief and very guarded discussion with both of them as he tried to explain there was no need for insurance for the delivery of a check. It was a scam.
I work for Prudential and a client just called stating that he had received this call regarding Russell Bennett. Prudential does not have any employee by the name of Russell Bennett. I am glad this client called our office. I hope this does not distort the view people have of Prudential!
I received a call today from this number saying I had won $450,000.00 and needed to reinstate an insurance policy with Prudential to cover delivery of the cashier's check. I called the number he gave me and it said Prudential insurance but all agents were busy. I checked on Google and got this website. He said it was from
American Sweepstakes and was a 2nd. prize award.
