I was called by 1-239-6734712 and told that I won $2.5 million dollars and to claim it I had to call 1-253-214-5276. Of course then I was told that I had to get a receipt from wester union for $256 to claim my $2.5 million check. I hung up and called the police but now I am wondering if I was charge for calling the number??? I have free long distance on my phone but still wondering. Will check with my carrier in the am.

Caller left a message saying he was from the U.S. Treasury Office and to please call back as soon as possible. Seemed suspicious so I looked it up on internet first. Being taken to this site tells me it was a hoax so I'm definitely NOT going to call back.
Caller reporting a phone scam in which the caller was the winner of $2.5 million and had to pay $850 to claim the prize. Caller ID indicated the call was from a Roberts, WI phone number(Magic Jack phone number and not believed to be where the call was coming from). Caller was told to call 1-253-214-5276 when the Western Union check was purchased.
Law Enforcement was notified about the scam phone call.
I got the same phone call this morning from David Peterson, and almost fell for it, how dumb do I feel? He wanted me to send a moneygram to Keisha Walters@Queens NY for $600. He said he swore on his wife and 4 childrens lives he was telling me the truth. Please don't fall for this scam!
