I received a call from 315-308-4993 (NY area code) and spoke to a Kevin Bachman. He told me his number was 778-865-5499 (a canadian area code). He said that I won 550,000 as a yearly jackpot for making donations in the past. He wanted me to send $1200 to cover clearance documents. When I questioned the validity of this phone call, he put me on hold for a moment and came back with another phone number, 778-829-6741. That led me to this scam page when I googled it. Thank you everyone for taking the time to post your experiences, so others do not fall victim to this scam.
