Description

I received a phone call that I won 3.5 million dollars, 2025 Mercedes, and 7,000 dollars/week for life from what they told me of was 'The Mega Millions' through PCH. They assigned me an "claim agent" and someone from the "claims dept." One was a male and one a female. However, their voices sounded somewhat the same as far as tone and delivery , just the female voice was just a bit higher. They sent me emails with pdf files that i was to print out, and actually read it out loud to them. I was to fill out the acceptance form and send it and a cashiers check or money order to a separate person in Houston. When I searched the address later, it showed a residential house in a suburb. I went along with it and he stayed on the line with me as i went to the post office. They wanted it overnight delivery (it was a Friday), however, the USPS would deliver it by Monday 6pm. I did not tell him that, but he did ask for the tracking #. I researched online when i got home, and it didn't feel legit, so i called my "agent". He was reassuring me that everything was on the level. So i let it go. But Saturday morning someone called me saying they were from my state's treasury department to give me more info on the next steps. That phone number had my area code but the department is in a different one. I then proceeded to intercept the money order and acceptance form from delivery on Monday. So I am only out the price of the priority mail , cost of the money order, and the fee to intercept. Then I receved a call from my "claim agent" informing me about an email sent with another file about what I had to do now. It contained info of the BBB, and FBI to make it look legitimate. He told me that I need to pay for some P14 stamp form for me to receive the check and it would be reimbursed, but i had to do it again asap. That was the final info to know it is a scam. I told him my bank is closed. He supposedly discussed it with his manager (which he told me before that he is the only one that works where he is), and then said that we can do this on Monday. Will see if he calls..... I then proceeded to file this report. I tried to upload a file, but it does not open right. I can forward the emails if requested.
