James Anderson called and said I won $750,000 and a red Mercedes. All I had to do was go to Walmart, Walgreens, or Western Union to get a gift card & pay a $250 registration fee. It sounded like his voice was going through a machine.

David Sear called from Publisher’s Clearing House to let me know I had won $10,000 a week for life. Next, he wanted to know how much credit was available on my credit cards. He then asked me to go to the bank, and remove $500 from each credit card for a total of $1,000 dollars. After I realized it was a scam, he called later in the evening to ask if I followed through with his directions. I told him no, and he should be ashamed of himself for taking advantage of the elderly. I have not heard back from him since then.
