Description

A person by the name of ‘“Andrew Goldberg” identified himself as an officer at JP Morgan Chase Bank. He was calling me to let me know that another person, “Stephanie Martin,” was attempting to cash a check made out to me personally as the winner of the Publishers Clearing House contest, for “$9.5 million and $7k per week for life.”“Goldberg” gave detailed information about the winning check,‘including serial number, confirmation number, authorization code, code number, winning ticket number, and batch nimber assigned to the “registered check”’ issued to me by Publishers Clearing house.. “Goldberg” then stated he required my bank account information, including the touting numbers and account number, in order for him to directly deposit the check. I then requested that the “registered check” be sent to me directly via a courier such as FedEx, which he refused to do, saying he only had the “authority” to directly deposit the check into my personal account. At that point, I did not disclose any of the information he requested and ended the call.
