Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I was contacted via my home phone by a company called the LSC Group. They told me I had won $900,000 and warned me not to provide anyone with details of the winning or my credit cards or social security numbers. They told me to contact the National Gaming Commission at ###-###-#### to confirm their legitimacy. The website is nearly a carbon copy of the Nevada Gaming Commision’s website. I contacted the Nevada commission, a legitimate government agency, and they confirmed it was fraud.
Did they tell you that you placed 2nd in a big sweepstakes?
