Got a call from this number stating that I should call a different number (supplied, but not able write down) in regards to a "sweepstakes I entered". I didn't enter a sweepstakes anytime recently, so this is probably fake.
Today I got a call from a guy who said he was from the Consumer Protection Agency, and he asked if I remembered entering a sweepstakes four months ago. Of course, I didn't. He then explained that I had won $325,000.00. I thought to myself, COOL! He then went on to explain that if Federal Express was going to deliver the cashier's check to me, it would be Sunday afternoon between 4:00 - 5:00. He asked if I would be home then. He also said that the check needed to be insured, and that it would cost $285.00, and asked if I had enough money to do that.
My initial response to him was that IF I had won a sweepstakes, it would not be delivered on a Sunday, and that I would not have to pay insurance, if I indeed, had won. He hung up on me. AWWWWW!
The caller ID said his number was #407-278-5925, and the letters OVIEDO were displayed.
I googled the number and it said it was a land line in the city of Oviedo, Florida.
As the other writers....I told that they were not sure if they had the correct number and asked if I had entered a sweepstakes a few months back, and they left this phone number.
I had received a similiar call a few days ago and I asked which sweepstake and they repeated the question...I said "tell me the name of the sweepstake and I tell you if I entered"....they hung up...hmmm.
Guy (with a speech impediment I might add) has left several messages within the last few weeks asking if I remember entering a sweepstakes a while back - I don't - Not calling back.
