Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I got a call on my cell phone. The voicemail message said to call a "Mr. John Malone"Â from publishers clearing house at 917-979-5031. The message stated I won and needed to verify who I was. When I called he said that I won a second prize of $13,000,000 and a new Mercedes. What color would I like, red, blue or white?Then I was asked if I wanted a public or private meeting. All seemed real except when he wanted me to go to either a Walgreens or a dollar general and purchase $750 in gift card to pay towards the "1% government fee." I mentioned a bank but they wanted no part of a bank. That’s when I hung up.
