Received the same type of call on 12-15-2011, except he was looking for information on my daughter who is 22. Said she won a random drawing and also a car. Due to the confidential nature of the winnings, he wanted me to have her call him back - fat chance! Called again in the afternoon and I just ignored the call! Suggest you do the same.
About 7:30 a.m., male caller purported to be a "Peter Myes" advised me that Iwas the winner of a random pick in lottery drawing, I won $3.5 million, only needed procesing fee of $500. Instructed to go to nearest Walmart, buy some sort of "Green Pack" cash card for the $500 amt. and then scratch off the security coating on the back of the card to eveal a 14 digit number. Within a specified time frame, I was to call him back at the above number and provide the 14 digit number asap.
Oh, forgot to mention that the lottery winings would be delivered by Fedex about 2:30p.m. and a camera crew would also be present to film the exciting event! If he calls I will place him on hold forever....if a Fedex delivery of a check is made I will frame it for laughs.......if a camera crew shows up I will be cleaning my shotgun by the front door to welcome them.......These Nigerian scammers are sure persistent!

Just got the call from your Nigerian pal, saying he has a prize for my wife.
He got quite indignant when I told him he was a thief.
He complained that I wasn't treating him with respect.
What a jerk.
He called several times....i had some free time so I messed with him.
He said I won the Megga Million Sweepstakes 2nd place. 1.5 million and a 525 BMW.
He says his name is Peter Meyer sounds more like Habbibe from Pakistan).
Wants to know if I'm married...how old am I, do I have a bank account........
I told him he was a scam/ Con ...and he was so sad. Said I am the only person that even doubted winning.
I couldn't understand why I had to send him money before I actually received my prize. He was very patient and explained multiple times that it was a processing fee. So i played dumb and asked him to re-expalin. Gotta say, he has patience! Finally on the 4-5 th call I asked that he never call back. And I gave his phone numbers and info that i had gathered to the police.
We should all call him from blocked numbers and tell him he won a goat!
