They tell you that you’ve won 2.5 million and said that I would get it at the end of the week and wanted me to go to the bank and send them a cashier’s check. They give information, then transfer to another person and ask for personal information.

My wife answered a call that was intended for my Mother, Dorothy Vittito-Brumfield. Because of past conversations with my Mother, my wife and I have concluded that this African Man is scamming my Mother, saying she has won a Million or so dollars and all she has to do is send the money to release the funds. I believe my Mother has paid this Man the $700.00 and she keeps answering the calls expecting to hear that the funds will be released soon. I got on the phone and asked for the physical address to their Mega Million Headquarters. I asked him to spell the business name and he began to curse me out and called me an *** My Mother actually tried to take the phone from my wife and I so she could continue on with this scammer. He called back to back about 15 times while he periodically would curse me out. I began cursing him out and he finally stopped calling because of my obscenities that I was spewing at him. I operate a Home Child Care and the phone number that the scammer is calling is my business phone. He claims his address is either 203 or 205 Carson Rd
