On March 14, 2012 ph# 516-204-0281 called, said his name was Joe Chavez, and said I won a Publishers Clearing House Prize for $650,000 and needed to confirm my address as to where to send the check. Stupidly I did confirm my address, then googled the ph# and all of these stories came up about fraud, even the exact senario that was said to me over the phone. I immediately filed a fraud alert with the credit bureau. Said the check is being held in Lloyds TSB Bank in Panama City, Panama. I knew this had to be a lie.
Same happened to me.

Same thing happened to me last Wednesday and I said I couldn't take the call because I was at work. Then He (Joe Chavez) called back on Saturday and I let it go to voicemail. I'm glad I didn't take the call. But I did have to cancel a credit card on Friday of that week that had a been compromized. I'm wondering if the two incedents were related.
