Stopped by my dad's early this morning and was surprised to find him on the phone. After listening a few minutes I could tell it was not a friend. When my dad asked where he should send the $25,000 as a 1% tax on his winnings I grabbed the phone and told Omar to never call this number again!! Hate to think what would have happened had I not been there!!
I received a call from Representative Senior Vice President Omar Jones @ 3:45 PM. He said that I had won a publishers clearing house prize of $2.5 Million and 2015 Mercedes. He said that I was entered by shopping at Wal-Mart, CVS and Walgreens. I was supposed to call 1-866-996-5997 to establish my winnings. When prompted I was instructed to enter 47 plus the last four digits of my telephone number. I informed Mr. Jones I was going to investigate his number on the internet. He said I will find nothing and said he is a member of the BBB. I was instructed to call him back at 608-721-0698 which he said is the Event Headquarters. I spent about 14 minutes on the phone with him before hanging up and wishing him a good day scamming someone else...not me!
