Received a call from a Mr. Brad Miller -  876-295-6054 - stating I was the winner of 2.5 million.  He told me I had to be home at 3:30 p.m. and I would get the check.  Additionally 3 armed guards would take me to the bank to verify the deposit.  I told him how did I win, he stated my name had been drawn and they had missed delivered the check previously and wanted to redeliver.  I said okay come on by.  He ask what was the address???  I said you have been here before haven't you ?  He said his screen was frozen and could not see the address.   I told him my husband would have to speak to him as he is a police officer and wants to make sure everything is valid.  Suddenly he hung up.

Must have been something I said.

    Today I had 3 calls from a Jonathan Smith 222-531-1126 ext 122 or 1-702-208-2073-stating that I am a winner of 2.5 Million & a Mercedes car. He told me that I need to go to Krogers today and buy 2 $500. Money Pak cards and then call him back. He said the car will be delivered Wed.(tomorrow) on a truck, they will unload it and 3 armed guards will follow me to the bank and give me a cashier's check. Then the bank will verify the check is good and then I turn over the two money pak cards to the guard. He said he will get all my information as to where I live, my bank, my s/s etc when I call him back. I too ask him if my address wasn't on the entry I filled out. (I did not fill out anything) He said he couldn't read the info and that I am a very doubtful person. I told him that I would not be calling him back, but My son who is a Dect. with the local police department would be calling him. He hung up. I did turn them in to the regulartory Commission, the cosumer affairs and the police department. He did tell me the reason I have to pay, $1000.00 is processing & shipping. and the reason I have to pay that is the money and car is tax free. I told him that I was born at night but it wasn't last night and for him to send my car and money to 1600 Penn. Ave, Washington, D.C.

      I just received a call from a Mega Lottery Sweepstakes that told me that I won 250,000 dollars and a Cadillac Ex. and I needed to pay the driving of the truck $299 but I need to go to purchase a special claim card. He is to stay on the phone until I tell him that I see the two armed guards and a tow truck since this is an online delivery.

      He gave me a registration number with his name and  the company name but he will wait on the telephone to give me the information on how to sent the funds. I am suppose to receive the check and car within an hour. I hung up the phone and he called me back. I told him that I was getting dressed and getting ready to go to the bank. I am leaving  to get money so I can purchase items for my house. He is waiting on the phone until I tell him that I am at General Dollar Store.
      The number is a 769 digit.

      The same guy contacted me earlier today but said his name was Brad. I told him quickly to cut to the chase and I had no money. He stated he would have his boss call and work it out. I told him not to bother!

    I just got off the phone from what sounds like the exact same scam---telling me I had just won 825,000 in a Megamillions sweepstakes and that my check would be delivered today in about 2 1/2 hours.  He never once called me by name and rattled off a bunch of "registration numbers", etc.  I told him I had never registered for any type of sweepstakes--his response was I was automatically submitted by 1 of 3 stores --Walmart, Walgreens and CVS (yeah, right).  I asked him if he could verify where my registration came from and he went into some long speech about having to pull all kinds of records from each of the stores, etc. baloney.    

    He then began asking for personal information--pretty harmless, but completely unnecessary--like "do you manage your family's finances?"   I indicated I would not answer that question as it is personal and I choose not to.    I let him go on for a couple of more minutes before saying I had had enough and hung up on him.  The number that called was 876-436-2728.

    Similar call was made to me today but this guy was good. Said I won 2.5 million by being entered in monthly utilities bill sweepstakes. He said he'd fax my lawyer the info as it's legit. I then googled to see if anyone else heard of Megamillions sweepstakes. My lawyer and I are still waiting on the paperwork, not sure it's coming. This is so sad.
