Victim Location 48239
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I received a phone call this afternoon saying they were from Publishing
clearing House . The person said he was Michael Collins (not good english). He told me that I won 2.5 million dollars and a car.
I was to call the following # (1-516-368-7l459) to verify my winnings. I called the number and supposedly talked to Debra Holly in Jehrico NY.
She kept telling me that I didn’t believe this was for real. I went along with her and asked what my next step was to claim my winnings.
She said that I would need to send $2882 to a government tax agent. At this time, I told her that I was not interested.
When they called l, they called me by my name and they seemed to know that I had dealt with Publishers Clearing House before.
My postal code is 48239. I also called the Redford Twp. Police Dept.
