Got a call from 1-876-520-1861. Said they were from a Las Vegas address (155 Regal Road - only there is no "Regal Road" in Las Vegas, per the LV Sheriff's Office) Caller told me I'd won 2.5 Mil in a credit card promo (yea, right). Call said the company name is North American Player Service/Powerball. Caller had a very hard to understand, Jamaican accent, and didn't have a supervisor that I could talk to. I figured it was a scam, and called the BBB in Las Vegas. They confirmed it was a scam working out of Jamaica. Didn't give any personal info, but they did have my name and address, which is scary. I'm contacting all three credit bureau just in case. By the way, if they give you a call back number, don't call. According to the BBB in Las Vegas the call is billed at $10 per minute!
