Just received a call from the same guy 11/25/13 with a heavy accent with the same sales pitch about winning money. Felt like it was a scam and didn't call back. Very disturbing.
SCAM!!!!!! A guy with a very heavy accent told me that I won $750,000.00 in a lottery. My phone number was pick and I won. Knew my husbands name, gave me an ID claim number. All I have to do is send $1299.95 in order to process the check and that it would be delivered today by three men who would arrive in a black suv with "Rush" on the license plate and would walk me "shoulder to shoulder" to my bank to make sure the check cleared. There would also be 14 pages for me to sign. He told me to go to the post office and get a money order for the $1299.95. After I sent the money order, to call them back with the numbers for verification. He said to make the money order out to a Quannishia Burrell and send it to 2681 Woodstock Ave, Pittsburg Pensilvaina, 15218. He also ask me NOT to say anything to anyone about my winnings because I could be robbed and to please donate to chairity because there are so many children out there with no parents and no food and that if I did this, God would bless me three fold. He also asked me to be careful when I go to the post office because there are a lot of wreckless drivers out there and he doesn't want me to get hurt. The guy is a good talker. I'm lucky because I saw through his b.s. but I'm afraid for other people out there that would fall for this guys crap. I wish there was a way to put a stop to this. I'm supposed to be unlisted and on the "No call list" but somehow they still get the information they need. PLEASE share this information with anyone you know.
I GOT THE SAME BS FROM A GUY WITH A HEAVY ACCENT--AT TIMES I COULDN`T EVEN UNDERSTAND HIM. I ALSO HAVE AN UNLISTED NUMBER THAT I PAY MONTHLY FOR AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW PHONE COMPANIES CAN SELL OUR PRIVATE NUMBERS TO THESE SCAM ARTISTS THAT CALL YOU ALL TIMES OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. A HINT-----DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITH A "YES". I WAS TOLD THEY RECORD YOUR VOICE AND IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM--THEY HAVE YOU SAYING "YES" AND THEN YOU ARE SOL {SH-- OUT OF LUCK}!!!!!!
SCAM. Person with Indian(?) accent left message saying they were calling from the "FTC: Federal Trade Commission Office"... (ironically that is the federal agency charged with preventing consumer fraud). That we have an "unclaimed prize, a prize that no one has claimed is due to us. A check will be delivered as soon as we call back the number and speak with Attorney Ron Palmer".
