    I also got a call Friday on my cell phone from a man by the name of Thomas Jackson saying that I have won 11 million dollars or a Mercedes car. He wanted to meet me at my house in 1hr. he also had my address read it back to me. I told him that I would not be off work until 2. So he called me back and my husband talk to him and said I had to go somewhere and would be back later. He talk to the man also but very hard to understand him. So we called our state police station and she said it was up to us if we wanted the man to come here . This man called back on the 3 time and I told him I wasn't interested and he said God wanted me to have this. So I HUNG UP AND GUESS WHAT HE CALLED 2 MORE TIMES THIS MORNING. I think I will make a call to someone else getting worried they know where we live. His telephone number is 876-292-5809

    I received a call today 1/13/15 from michael  edison  claiming to be an employee of the Mega Million Sweepstakes.  He is suppose to work in the department of the Sweepstake Commission.  He told me that I had won 2.5 million dollars and a 2015 Mercedes Benz.  He said that the commission was holding the check and car because the check was dated 2014 and that it was over 90 days.  I was told by him,that  a new check had to be issued and that there would be a processing fee.  He told me that he would speak to the auditing department and asked my permission to have them call me to let me know what the fee would be.                                   Michael Edison #702-546-6303.  While  I was on the phone with a family member who works  for the FBI  another  number was trying to reach me.  jkcannon41 1-661-748-0240.

    Oh Michael Anderson is at work this morning he called me from a 877 number and left a message then called back from a private number. On the message and when I answers he said hello my name is Michael Anderson and I am from the mega millions. You have won 5.5 million dollars. I told him to go on with his scam and hung up on him. These people are so stupid thinking anyone would believe them.

    John white just tried it with me but I knew it was a scam from the beginning. I don't know many john whites with foreign accents. I played it out and asked if there was anyone else in the his place I could speak to he said yes and left the phone, when he returned he tried to lower his voice and speak, so hilarious.  I was just sitting there making fun of him until he finally hung up darn it that was fun. Now that it is over I wish I could reached out and touched this little _____.

    Anyone get contacted through facebook about scam with Bingo Blitz??? PLEASE HELP - REALLY BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN SCAMMED FOR $1500

    I had a friend send me an email on facebook asking if I played this game.. which I have on occasion.  She told me to contact an Alyssa Parcells (on facebook) as she is an agent with Bingo Blitz cuz my name was on the winner list....
    Contacted and advised had won $7000. Needed to send security fee (cuz was cash prize)... and during all this I was still talking with friend who was confirming all the info.  Sent this fee, then there were some holds ups with delivery - had to send the IRS fee for winnings - which ended up doing.  Still talking to friend about it.
    Final amount stupidly sent was the insurance part for our gov't since they were US coming to Ontario.   Asked for proof/paperwork of all of this - was sent a "certificate".
    They still saying it legit  not a scam. BUT of course because they had to apparently stay in Ontario and go back before delivery they have to "repackage" everything and that means ANOTHER fee - delivery fee.

    A Mr, Arnold Snyder allegedly from the Las Vegas Sweepstakes Company called my elderly mother this week and has repeatedly called her now a dozen times, claiming that she has won $5 million and a new Mercedes.   Luckily mom hasn't given him any of her personal information yet, and lucky that she told my wife and I about it too.

    Mr. Snyder has claimed that he is coming to visit her on Monday to get her to sign the paperwork for the alleged win.   I wish that I had all the phone numbers involved but Mr. Snyder called from a (607) Area Code 699 Prefix number that showed-up on a reverse phone lookup as being in the little town of Nichols, NY, on the Southern Tier Expressway about halfway between Elmira and Binghamton, near Tioga Center.

    Mr. Snyder has claimed that the win is from a Jamaican lottery and that a woman by the name of Sasha Henry of Fayetteville, GA is the US lottery manager.   He also told mom not to tell anyone so that she could surprise her family and friends later once she had her winning in-hand.   An Arnold Snyder is listed in a Google search as being a professional gambler in the US but I will bet that this Arnold Snyder isn't the same person.

    Just wanted to let people know that the Las Vegas Sweepstakes scam is still alive as of today, April 24th, 2015.
