Dave Peterson
Complaint
Connie B Smith
Country: United States
My parents 78 & 87 received a call from phone # 876-439-3286. it's a Jamaica #. He calls himself preacher Dave Peterson from Nevada with the PCH also and told them they had won $3.5 mil & a Mercedes. He instructed my mom to be very secretive and to send various money amounts by Western Union to different people as well as had two checks sent to her to deposit and then get more Western Union checks for those amounts to send on to other ppl. However those checks turned out to be fraudulent as well. My parents keep hoping and trying to believe in this man and lost $15,000.00 before my daughter, (their granddaughter & I ) found out and explained to them what was going on. I now answer the calls which can be anywhere from 1-15 per day on her cell and home phone. I have played these ppl just like they played my parents, they'll lie and hurry off the phone but call right back the very next day. I've repeatedly told them to never call back again that I know who they are and what they've done but they are still trying two months later. I've contacted the FBI and they said were sorry but it happens. You would think that if someone is still calling sometimes upwards of 15 times a day they could catch them. but I guess not if they wont even try. Also she never was asked to call him but she received a $1600.00 cell phone bill for international long distance phone calls. When she call AT&T to report that she hadn't been out of the country and didn't know anyone out of the country, they insisted shed made the calls. We requested a copy of the phone calls that were made and AT&T refused to give them to us stating that was confidential information. People beware, I'd never heard of this. I couldn't protect my parents. I hope this can help others protect theirs.

Got the email ( this guys are meticulous on the details) gave me a bunch of numbers (ref no., batch no., ticket no., serial no., lucky no., etc.) what gave it away knowing it's a scam is the name David Peterson. I immediately did a search of that name with puiblishers clearing house attached to it and this page came up. Thank God for that , save me $1,000 bucks because that was what they were asking to "process" my prize. Beware , when in doubt always do a search of the name and/or company your dealing with. As for this "Idiots " I believe in karma! Stay Safe , peace !
