Victim Location 53050
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" 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.
I just got a call from David Redman asking me to call Reverend John Malone at 530-862-7074 saying that I had won a prize from publishers Clearing House. He gave me a claim package number of pch559006841-ca009us he asked me to call the telephone number to be informed about what I won. Obviously I didn’t I could recognize that it was a scam right away just thought I would let everyone know. Publishers Clearing House shows up at your door they don’t call you on the phone asking you to verify something.
