A person with an Asian accent calls me from a Nevada number 702-529-4853. Claims he's from 'The Publishing Clearing House Company' and that my Michigan phone number was randomly selected for a prize money of $900k. He also says I've won a bonus prize of a Mercedes C class sedan and what color would I like it in. All this sounded rather fishy since I had never done business with such a company before. I asked him if he was going to try to get my personal info and he insisted he wouldn't. I asked him for his office address and phone number and whether I'd find his company online to which he said people have mistakenly reported them in the past as fraudulent so I may not find them there. He proceeded to describe his Catholic heritage and how he wouldn't cheat anyone and asked me if I'd like my car delivered to my doorstep or would I like to pick it up in person. I asked if the delivery would be at extra cost to me to which he says 'yes'. This is where I realized what the catch was. I said I'd come over to Las Vegas and pick it up in person, to which he hung up. Remember folks - ask a lot of questions and you'll find out what the scam is about.
