Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
On 31 May 2017, I received a telephone call telling me "do not hang up…I do not want anything from you…". The lady (named Joanne Van der Delt) told me that I was a 3rd place winner in the Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum Card contest, and I had won a Lincoln automobile and $350,000.00 and that the taxes had been paid on it. Further, she said that the contest was approved by the OLG Corp and the ScamPulse.com (ScamPulse.com). To confirm my winning and arrange a date for the prizes to be delivered to my house, I must call 1-876-835-5356 and ask for John Zaraski.
I ‘googled’ this phone number and discovered that it was from Jamaica.
I felt this scam should be reported to the BBB.
