I received a letter in the mail instead of a phone call. But everything you have stated was written within my letter. It amazes me how people think of new ways to try an scam others. With the way the economy is now everyone is trying to make a buck, even if they have to do it the illegal way. It is a SHAME! People have no heart or conscious. I fear for the elderly that are preyed upon.
It sounded great to hear that I had won the MEGA draw. What made it even more believable was the fact that I did enter a sweepstake some time ago this year. But I still questioned the information. You think to yourself that "God has finally answered my prayers", but did He really hear you calling.
Could these people or this person have an in on everyone that has entered a sweepstakes for easy prey? I plan on calling them back to see how far they will take it. If I can scare them and find some way to trap them to get caught, then there would be some sort of justice. We will see!
