    Got the call from (876)376-6379 from Frank Lombard saying Mr. John Ashley Anderson tried to deliver the 2.5M check but we were missing a presidential stamp so it never got here even though they called and said they were coming.  Frank Lombard claims he is with the check cancelling co and this is our last chance to get 2.5M for only $500...wow.

    I received a call from a man with an Jamaician accent. He called from 876-781-1144. he told me I did not win millions but 550,000.00. I  won only because of some special they were doing and because I pay my bills on time. Obvisiously he did not do his homework there! All i had to do was go to Walmart to purchase this specific card and load 350.00 for shipping and handling since I was not coming to Louisiana to get my check. now my question that I did not ask was, if you are delivering my check do you have my address because i never gave it. he went as far to say that i would have a camera crew here, limo and dinner, plus he would deliver it himself. These people are really trying to get paid. OMG what is the world coming to and I hope NOBODY is crazy enough to fall for this. Oh yeah I even called the number back and he answered. How about that!

    got a call from a restricted # saying i won 2.5 mil and a 2011 mercedes from a guy named simon west with a middle eastern accent. said he was with mega millions cash for life or something like that. he kept saying congratulations my boss and welcome to the club. he asked how old i was and i said 19 and he said im the second yougest winner ever. he had me going..till i asked to speak to the manager whos name was michael phillips ceo. with the same accent, and the other guy who answers for the "claims department" has the same one. they wanted me to go wallgreens n buy a money back scratch reload card for 650.00. i was thinking about doing it until i started  thinking about it more.then i came on here and found this and now i know it was a scam for sure. you know what they say if it sounds too good to be true..it probably is. thanks guys.

    We have been harassed for the last two days by someone named John Whilte ( heavy foreign accent ). It comes up as an unknown number.  We tell them to take us off their call list and they say they can't do that.  He says that his Manager is Dwight Brown, but we can't talk to him until we agre to take the prize.  We have never found out what the prize is because we spend 5-10 minutes just trying to get him off the phone.  Yesterday we hung up on him 5 times and he called back immediately.   How do we get them to stop calling?

    I received call from Mega Million statedhe was DR JosephWashington heavy accent. Stated I won 7.5 Million dollars and a new 2012 Mercedes Benz and would I be home for delivery. They told me to go to CVS and get a paper paypal scratch card and put 125.00 on it.  They then put  JOhn Richmond on the phone to congratulate me. They were vey convincing but I asked lots of questions and they called from a private phone number. I was fooled and I gave them the scratch off number. Then realized itmust be  scam so I called the green dot card 800 number and requested a refund and to stop any transactions form my card. Something should be done he said he was in Miami and would be at my house and even asked me if I wanted to have it broadcasted or kept confidential. How foolish I feel right.

      I KNOW how you feel.  I'm right there in the same boat as you.  I'm not going to say how much I've sent them, but that every time I did what they said needed to be done, they would ask for more money.  NOW they are saying that I need to send them $10,000 to get the money to them.  DON'T THINK SO.  I was fooled 3x, but NOT anymore.  They asked me the same thing about if I wanted to keep it confidential.  I, also feel so foolish because I thought I was smarter than that.

    I have had at least seven or eight calls from these crooks claiming I have won a considerable sum in the lottery...I never play Megamillion...the person on the line claims that one of the large coporatioons entered my name as a gift for me being a "good customer."  They have continued to bother me for a few weeks now and today we received another call from a "John" last name garbledm but sounded like Rich,,,with a telephone number I could call...909-666-0202...around the LA area,  What a bunch of scum.  I hope the authorities catch them soon and send them to Jail for a long time.  Hopefully the FBI is monitoring this site and can use the info I have provided.  .

    I seem to have won big thru a UPS drawing about 20 calls ago.  I kept telling him no and don't call again.  Finally I said mail it and he said do you have a fax?  After 10 more calls I got a fax with a cover sheet, letter and a copy of a Bank of America check with my name on it, for 4,500,000. and a request for 200,000. as a deposit I would get back when the check was delivered.  His name was John Williams from Mega Million Co out of Fl. The check says purchased by Las Vegas Direct.  Now this guy would not quit.  What to do next?

I was smart i got the money order but didn't send it. They told me they would be here soon but when i tried to call back i only got the machine. I called the police and they told me to go antifraudcenter.com, so i did. I hope he gets caught soon.
