i just got a call from "James Washington @ FedEx" and starting with question to confirm my phone #, name and address. Immediately I ask him to give me his FedEx employee # as none of FedEx will make a call like that. He hanged up.
Calling call saying I won $75000 for (get this) paying my taxes on time and check will be delivered by a FedEx delivery truck. After grilling the guy named "James Washington" and getting as much info out of him, he continued to add more things that I "won" like a gift card to use for gas, doctors appointments etc, and when he said Geico was to contact me with a new 2013 Mercedes, I lost it.
I asked where his location was, and he said Las Vegas, Nevada. I told him my caller ID put him in Jamaica. He said "yes, Jamaica, Nevada, Las Vegas".
He knew my location was in California. He called my cell phone number.
Here's the info he gave me:
Calling from US Mega Million Company.
A certified check to be delivered to me by FedEx Delivery Truck.
Told me to call 1 800 996 5997 to activate a check #996553
Then call "James Washington back" at 1 876 467 4840 or 1 331 481 6117
