My 85 year old mother just got a call from these people... but she is clued in to scams and gave it to me to check out.. so I found this page... They said she had won a Sweepstakes...
The person they claim is the manager is Ognar Bentson.
My father received numerous calls from this number telling him that he had won a lottery. They are very persistent. There is another number involved in this scam 1-876-476-7920 which I will post separately.
This is the 4th such call I have recieved from these guys, and they sware they are legit..... yet I don't believe them either... any call from the following area codes are scams...876...877...678...976...809...284...918 beware and be safe.
They call and say I have been selected to win a lotery my prise is $750,000.00 and they require a 1% tax and fee charge of $250.00 now I can do the math 1% is $750.00 not $250 so they are untruthful in the first place... I told them my cards were maxed out and they said they will work with my company... yea yea yea... as long as you play the game they will be scamming you all along the way... don't give them any personal info ever... no account numbers this is what they what... either call them a scam or hang up... tell them you need to investigate their claims and you'll call them back.. or whatever you can do to get rid of them then report them.
In the first place I do not join lotery's or any other kind of stuff... our records are public knowledge so be ware of these scammers they are good at what they do...
The name they gave me American Lotery Company the man I was supposed to contact was James Lee the first time... now another man's name Augwa Menson or something along that line... most likely bogus anyway.. the numbers originate in Ottawa OK. Their carrier is: United States Cellular Corp... I wish I knew where I could report these guys to the authorities not just post a note online... thanks
I received a call from 314-678-2983 TRANSCOM INC on my caller Id...they told me they had a car (van ) and a check to be delivered to my house. The man was very hard to understand.....I asked for another number so I could call him back...He gave me 918-309-8435
I dialed it three times and told me the number was not working...I told him that and then I tried again and then someone answered they too were foreign, I hung up on them. I told the guy that this was a scam and he went on and on . I finally hung up on him.....I gogled this number and found this report page.....Do not give out any information to them.....I will be reporting this to the governors office in Missouri...Also I'm on the no call list so I wonder how they got my number....
