exactly the same thing happen to us, telling to call Mr. Norman Armstrong because we won $875,000 ....he seems legit, but before we contact them we do reearch...and thanks everyone.....beware people!
I received a call from Michael Fisher supposedly from the U.S.Customs and Border Patrol. He said that a package with my name on it was detained at JFK and the information was sent to him to investigate it. His phone number was 202 370-7679. He said that the package contained a tax exception form, and a $750,000 check from Costa Rica. He said he called the U.S. Treasury and the check is legit. He suggested I call JFK International at 718 690-9758 and let them know I am going to claim this. He gave me a claim number to give to them when I call them.
I also got a call from Michael Fisher from the 'US Border Patrol, Mail Division' about a package detained at JFK. He 'checked it out and we needed to call the airport at 718-690-9758 to start a claim to get it to us. I was also given a claim number and got through to John Perren, who gave me a number for the sweepstakes clearance to call and verify that we did win. It all seems to legit, but I got suspicious when John told us we needed to send $3685 through Western Union or Moneygram out of the country for insurance and shipping and handling. Even though the sweepstakes clearance place we called assured we would be reimbursed for the shipping and insurance, it doesn't sit right with me. I know that money sent Western Union out of the country can not be tracked or recovered in the event of a fraud. Thankfully, we ran out of time before trying to arrange for the money. Hubbie had to get to work, and I'm not doing anything about this without him but checking more into it.
got a phone call from 2025584605 informing me that i won a sweepstakes with a claim prize $750,000. he then told me to call 7186909758 for insurance purpose and to verify the claim and that they have been looking for me for 15 days and that i have 24hrs to send them $2000 for shipping and procedures purposes.when i ask to speak to a superviser or someone in charge they hung up the phone . when i try to call back they send it to voicemail. when i first heard of this i was excited and called my daughter n law to confirm the company, she googled the phone # and nothing turned up.this is a fraud. i told them to take the $2000 out of the $750,000 they denied to concur.
The telephone call I got was exactly the same as above, but before calling the US Customs number and asking for John Perren, I did some research and found this website.
I have also received a message from this company, a Mr. Frank Dornan, telling me to call Mr. Norman Armstrong, because I have won $875,000 dollars. But after researching, I found out this is a fraud. Thank you everyone for commenting on this matter. This call came from supposedly US customs. Please people beware of the Trojan horse.
