Description

David Benjamin called and said I won the 2.5 million in the mega millions and to claim it, I would be required to send $500 to his routing # at Regional Bank from her bank account- to his act # *** *** ****; routing # ********* with code **** *** US. There was only one problem- I didn't buy lotto ticket. He said it was automatically entered because I shopped at Dollar Store or CVS. I gave him a fake address, all fake info. He said after the $500, I would be getting a call to confirm my 2025 Mercedes Benz - which would require a second transfer of $3000. They would then provide me with an Amazon gift card. I don't even have a Credit Card or that much $ to transfer.
