Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
Got a call from Michael Peter who said he was w/ Consumer Affairs and I had won $1.2 million from American Sweepstakes. I’ve entered a lot of contests before so I figured it could be legit. He said I would have to send a money order for $930 to him. Michael told me to call a guy named Jack Burke who was with the Federal Storage Facility. He was supposed to have the address for me to send the money to. Michael told me that the money would be more of a declaration and it was a small amount so nothing to worry about compared to the winnings. He said I would also receive a 1099 tax form and I would just have to show the delivery guy an ID for me to receive money. I told Michael I would call the ScamPulse.com first to find out more before I got any deeper and they confirmed it was a scam.

I received a phone call today from a man named Nathan Hunt which he states he is from Consumers Affairs in Washington and that I’ve won second place in a Megamillions Sweepstakes and they will send me vanilla envelope with a 1099 tax form go be filled out by me and returned to him.The envelope will have check enclosed and he told me to call this number because they haven’t been able to contact me and tell them I want to collect on my win the number is 702 425-6241 and this guy Nathan number is 202-580-8155. I gave him my correct address because he had wrong one.He called back so I told him I called the ScamPulse.com he said they would probably tell me the opposite of what he told me so I hung up on him and he called back and I didn’t answer.
