Got a call on my cell phone stating they were from PCH and I had won 4,500,00.00. All I had to do was send them 1% or 4500.00 in a postal money order. They called from 1-876-582-9420 and had strong foreign accents. They requested I call them back when I had the money order at 1-516-323-2009 and they would give me the address to send money orders to.
