Victim Location 06066
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
Recieved a phone call from an attorney’s office (caller ID – Anonymous-215-583-0777) Chief Attorney – Amanda Gordan (phone number – 215-583-0796) stating that I had won second prize in an international sweepstakes (500,000). They gave me a claim number and arranged a time for delivery by insured courier to come to my house. She stated that I would have to pay a security deposit of ($1500) to receive the prize money. They explain all the details of the Asian bank that is giving the money. They referred me to the Federal Gaming Agency to verify my winnings and gave me the number for that agency. The attorney gave me the phone number to contact her. Throughout the call she stated that she did not want any personal information and that they just wanted to get the money to me. I took down all the information she stated and then hung up to call and "verify" my winnings. I am 79 years old and a widow so I am very skeptical of these type of calls. I do not believe them or give them information. I am reporting this to help others who may be called and scammed.
