I received a call from someone named James Staruart who claimed I had won $42 million. He instructed me to go to Walmart or Dollar Tree to purchase a Green Dot debit card. When I couldn't find one, he told me to go to the post office and get a money order for $250. I was told to make the money order out to Beverly Kreps at 645 Country Rd 1435, Cullman, Alabama.
Now, the caller—James Staruart—is asking me to go to my bank with a check and write "#0101004209" in the memo section. He instructed me to present this check at the drive-thru. He said this would cover the fees and taxes for a new car.
