I just got a phone call today from a shady lady with an accent who said I had won $750,000 ($450,000 after taxes) and gave me a number to call: 516 252 1973. I talked to an eloquent, articulant and professional mannered man named Michael Garcia who claimed to represent HCC Global in the legal dept. He said to claim my winnings I had to pay $2200 for a background check
I also got an email with a name David Cooper and number 7024873736. I thought it was all legit until I saw this forum. Now I see it's all a very well-organized scam
Got this same call last week! Then a second man call from Las Vegas trying to pull the same stunt. He claimed the "USPS Database" showed I received notification of my prize. When I told him there would be no record of a regular piece of mail reaching my home unless I signed for it, he hung up. the nerve.
Got a phone call from a woman claiming Security Exchange Commision having package lots of money from telephone number 718 878 5596 Hung on me as soon as I started asking detailed information about their operation. Beware not with BBB
Its a scam. I had the website for HCC (WWW.HCCFINANCIAL.TOTALH.COM) shut down for now. They will crop up again and who knows were they really are located. The address they list on thier webpage is the same one for my office except this time they listed it as being in Las Vegas. Stay far away from this one!
Hi Peter Shaw,
They are at it again and I just got stung.

Wow what a scam they pulled. I am either so desperate for something good to happen to me for once or they are just that convincing. As of today, 5/16/12, I called 702-425-4862 to Todd's new number and he said he would call me back.
David Laisa told me I had a time limit (until May 15, 2012 at 9:00am) to make up my mind or forfeit the winnings or they would go to charity and "you will never know."
These people are still in place but no delivery day for me anymore at Bank of America when it should just take 1 day to arrange the Brinks delivery. The laws of California are weird Todd said. California would not release it to me unless they take tax money out of it and he was working hard on it. I told Todd I wanted my money back then for the insurance, he said he had another call and would call me back. He didn't. Now neither Todd Williams or David Laisa or Mitch Grant ever pick up their phones.
I hope you get this and go after them. I do not know what to do and Bank of America will not get my money back for me. I should have known better. I see you had prior involvement so I wanted to update you.
