I received a call from a John Anderson saying that I was the second place winner of a contest that I filled out. The name of the caller on my phone came in as my name and phone number. He said I had won $1.6 million and would receive two checks for $800,000 each. At least one, maybe both, will be delivered today before the banks close. He wanted to know how many active credit cards I had and approximately the total balance allowed on them and the amount on my debit/'credit cards in the bank. He also asked if I had any other assets I could get to like bonds, stocks, mutual funds, etc. He gave me a number to call (which was shipping, the number above) and talk to a Chuck Murphy. Chuck asked for the confirmation number and my name. He said he need to check some things and would call me back in about 30 minutes. My name is all they have that I gave them and they already knew it when they called. I did not give them the name of my banks, my credit cards, numbers, phone numbers or anything else. As I typed this message, I realized this was a scam. I am now going to report this to the police and anyone else they tell me to contact.
