They said I won 500k my fiancé told him he google the number they call from and he hung the phone on him.. Too funny... What a way to try and scam money from people who can't even afford to pay their own bills.
As we always say around here: You cannot win a contest you never entered, & you cannot win a Lottery you did not buy a ticket on. Major lotteries issue checks upon a large win & (but not in all States) they want to take your picture when they hand it to you. Any request for banking information, or a request to pay an advance fee, for any kind of prize, gift, Government grant, lottery win, etc. IS A SCAM. 100% Everytime - for any reason.
They told me same thing. when I said I was married they said where is wife then hung up on me. I was a 500,000 dollar winner. Someone needs to shut them down
