I got a call from a scammer with an accent from who knows where claiming that I won 2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes benz.  I told the person to keep the prize  and followed it up with I have the the car that they claimed I won. This guy called me about 10 times in all. I became so frustrated I told him about the scam and and I was going to report the harassement of calls to the police. He became angry and said, [***] you.  I hung up immediately.  It's not over these scammers are persistent  and simply dumb. The man even told me he was rich. I responded by telling him I knew he was but he will never get me to add to his treasure chest.  What's sad about this whole situation and any one that thieves believe that they could prey on people and think they will never get caught but God is always watching and it is a known fact that good overcomes evil. I can personally testify to that.  So conclude, beware of the following phone numbers as follows: 910 498 7785, 509 566 4955 and 901 444 0887.

      I had the same thing as All of u more so since January 2017 when I told "David" that I knew it was a scam & so did the police. Click. They stopped for a while & restarted again this time from Jamaica & California #s. Same as first complaint: I won second prize of 2 million + 2017 Mercedes Benz. Told them 2×  that I had NO $ for "taxes". Click.  I called him back, this time his name is John Kennedy by the way, also has accent, they All do, and got busy signal. Tried again & got message...can't b reached leave message. Yeah right. They also texted me. Saying I had won the 2nd prizes with 2 pictures of white Mercedes Benz.  Uping their game I guess.

    Horrible. This jus happen to me today. His name was David. He provided me with a "federal bank" phone number 800 587 9075. An account # & a preset up 4 digit pin. Wow this has to stop. It has gotten seriously believable. He had a whole routine too. The call was being recorded & monitored. Hilariously funny. They go all out now a days. He called me back to make sure i called the bank while i was checking this review out. Omg. These scammers are on another level. Smh

    About an  hour ago I received a call from David West saying I had won 1.5 million dollars with American Mega Millions plus a Benz convertible.  I did not become as excited as he wanted me to be so he commented I sounded skeptic. I told him I was.  he then goes on to say he has a mother and children and a wife who he loves dearly and he wouldn't want anyone doing this to his family.  I had entered PCH so I asked him if he was part of Publishers C. H. he said yes, but this was a different division or something to that effect.  Accent was not English and his grammar was not very good.  When I didn't fall for it and would not give him 1500.00 to cover the FDIC taxes he became belligerent.  I told him if he wanted any $$ he could take it from the 1.5 million.  He then became very rude and said "oh no honey, it doesn't work that way".  I politely told him "you have the wrong girl this morning".  I think they feel if they come across threateningly when YOU don't come across, they can scare you and you will change your mind.  the # : 1-909-570-0354  California.  The New Jersey lottery also had a scam about 2 years ago and were relentless!  got my name through a friend....I called my "friend" and she said she had won 150,000.  t became very involved as I was very angry about the entire thing, they called me for 3 weeks.  It was the executive directorof the lotter in New Jersey that was calling: Carole Hedens or something like that.  she was on FB and in cahoots with an official in N.J. she has since remained in her position! I filed a complaint, but nothing came of it.  They even sent me pictures of a UPS truck that caught on fire on the  interstate and had been carrying the $$. I checked that out and it was a picture a few years old. It is amazing what they do and how embellished the stories become and how they can LIE... there should be ways to arrest these people.  Stay Leery of phone calls like this or FRIENDS that give your name out.

    Andy Johnson called from "Las Vegas" Would deliver 7.5 million and a Mercedes tomorrow. Needed to purchase a "claimers receipt" for $800 from post office or Walmart and a service company would deliver the money. After about 15 minutes I told him 800$ was a good payment for 15 min scam work and he cussed and hung up.

    90% of the calls to my landline are from scammers, mostly from the Jamaican 876 area code or "UNAVAILABLE" numbers.
