Victim Location 24055
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
My mother in law received a call that she had won $950,000 and a 2018 Mercedes. She just needed to go to a Wal-mart, CVS, Wal-greens etc and "register" for her prize by paying $999.99. They would then deliver her prize to her door within 30 minutes. I called them back for her. The 876 # is in Jamaica. He said he was in Bristol, VA and his name was Robert Patterson. I was very skeptical with him and he became defensive. I then told him that I would like to speak with a previous winner to confirm this was legitimate. He gave me the name of a 2nd place winner from Idaho, a Charles Finley, gave me his cell #. In the meantime I called the Sheriff’s Office and before I could call the former winner he called me. I asked his address and he, amazingly enough, gave it to me, but when I put it in google and mapquest it didn’t come up as a legitimate address. He told me his name wouldn’t show up on the PCH winners page because he wanted to keep it private considering his age and all. I asked how old he was and he replied 84. This guy sounded like he was about 25 and high as a kite. I laughed and asked him what year he was born. He was baffled. I told him the next call he’d get would be from the Sheriff’s Office and I hung up.
