I received a call from Greg Cohen of Holiday Sweepstakes stating they had been trying to reach me. I was told that I had won $7.5 Million in the sweepstakes and that I needed to call 702-803-9759 to verify my winnings. They said I would need to send them $7500 to receive the prize. For one thing, I didn’t sign up and for another thing why should I pay, when they could take it out of the winnings.

I recd a call at 11:00 AM today from Holiday Sweepstakes. Officer Mark Evans (he had an Asian accent) told me I entered a sweepstakes in February 2016 (but I did not). He stated I won $635,000 (2nd place) & asked me to call 800-503-2938; that I had to call the 800 to verify information. I called the 800 no. and spoke to a woman w/a hispanic accent who told me I had to pay 1% of the winnings for insurance. The check would then be released thru Wells Fargo Bank. Then I had to call Mark Evans back at the 202 number for info on sending the money. Before I called Mark I went on Google Search and found an article on Holiday Sweepstakes and found out it was a scam. I spoke to the Sheriff’s dept to report the scam (he did not seem interested); then I called Mark Evans back to tell him he was being investigated because I knew this was a scam. He replied okay and hung up.
