Thanks for posting that info. I just received a message that said they were from Mega Millions and my certified package is being held and I need to call back right away. As far as I was concerned, I don't think Mega Millions would be calling me because I don't play the lottery, #1, and even if I did, I know they would not be calling me.
As reported in a local CT paper, this number was used to scam an elderly woman out of several thousand dollars on Dec. 30, 2013, by purporting to represent the utility company and telling her she was entitled to a large cash prize for "always paying her bills on time" but, in order to claim the prize, she had to transfer money via Green Dot Money Pack cards. The caller ID info was probably spoofed but...Beware!
I was told I won $700K plus 150k cash to call this number and also to call 866-966-5997 and comfirm my ticket the guy said he was in florida like me but could not even pronounce the name of my town. BEWARE OF SCAMMERS
I got a call on a sat say that i won 2.5 million and a new car. Before i could get my prize i had to pay the taxes in green dot cards. Once i paid them. They told me not i can not get my prize intill monday. I yelled and called them out on it telling them that i wanted my money back. I went a lite overboard but hey what are they going to do. So today monday they are still call me even after every thing i said on there answer machine. I have to call them before i leave work so i can set everything up. Hmmmm lets see what what happens next.
A guy by the name of James Anderson called me today saying he was from UPS and that he had a package from Mega Millions for me. He went as far as naming the Federal Trade Commission as having released the package and that I needed to call urgently. UPS has never called me!! They have left a piece of paper st my door but never called!! People beware... Too many scam artists out there!!!
