Description

I received a message from WhatsApp. The person said I'm Danielle Lam from the Publishers Clearing House department office located at 300 Jericho Quadrangle, Ste 300, Jericho, NY. I answered "Yeah scam" they asked me to click on a link https://danlamplamap.wixsite.com/daniellelam. I said to them I don't think Danielle would message people on WhatsApp. He said, "Grant me the permission to proceed further." Kept asking if I clicked on the link he sent. Then the BIG ANNOUCEMENT....I'm glad to inform you that as the 2nd prize winner of this PCH promotion going on you have been awarded the sum of $3,000,000.00 with a Truck, Congratulations! I said "Wow!!" Then they said, "You are to provide me some details about yourself, so that I can forward it to the Head Disbursement, for clarification of your winnings to avoid mis delivery and to have your winnings issued." Wanted me full name, address, email, mobile number, occupation and how much do you earn, Picture of Government ID. I really hope someone can find out who this idiot is. I asked him for his email and he wouldn't give it to me so I BLOCKED HIM AND REPORTED HIM
