I have had a few calls on my home phone from The Gaming Commission in Las Vegas NV. About three calls. A man calls and said I won millions of dollars. I don’t recall the exact amount. I also won a Mercedes that would be delivered to my house. I do not have their phone number. I did not let them ask for money. I knew it was a scam. I know not to pay money to get money. He said I have to pay and I cut him off. I hung up. That was the end of that.

I received a call on my home phone last Friday and yesterday. He said he was with the Gaming Commission in Washington DC. Said I won $ 1 Million. He said it was Government approved. His name was Steven Clark. The caller had an accent. The phone number in my caller ID was 202-660-4568. He also gave me that phone number. I also received a call from this phone number and my caller ID showed Las Vegas. He did not ask for money. I thought it was suspicious he asked where I do my banking and something about going with me to the bank to make sure check was deposited. They would deliver the prize. I gave no personal information. I don’t trust anybody anymore.
