Description

My father received a black-and-white letter from publishers clearing house. It also has the logos of mega millions Walmart JCPenney AG insurance and Reader’s digest. A letter indicated my father had won 2.5 million and he had to call a claim manager. In addition a check was included from bridgecrest acceptance corporation in the amount of $9850.50. After checking the Internet and determining this was a scam, we did not call the number or cash the check which apparently would’ve bounced. This looks like a scam that targets the elderly. the police should take action.
