I too got a call just as did Gayleo above, and this appears to be another scam on seniors. They said I had won $750,000 through publisher's clearing house but I had to act within 48 hours to claim the funds. I received a confirmation number and all kinds of other items to make this seem legit, but I refused to pay any money or give any account information.
They say I have a cashiers check worth 50,000 dollars from an affiliate of Readers Digest that I have won, because of a $500 insurance fee they can't release it.

Caller knew my full name and kept saying, Grandma, what's wrong? He sounded african america, claimed his name was James and that he was my oldest grandchild. He wasn't able to get any further before I hung up.
