Telephone Scam

Got hit with this today. The caller (a number in Montana) said I had won a raffle (?) in my town. Supposedly, I was entered simply by shopping in town. I was to receive a check (made out to me? He got my name from my phone) for $2.5 Million and a brand new car. He went through the whole spiel and answered my questions. We got towards the end, and the last thing I had to do was pay 1% of the taxes due ($42,000). As soon as I put the check in the mail, they'd show up at my house with the check and car. At that point, I hung up. Total scam.
