Description
Received a call from David Diaz from Virginia on the phone number 757-516-7330. Asked if ever donated to St Jude or Wounded Warrior? We have been trying to contact you for months because you won over $925000.00. There is a storage facility in Alb, gov warehouse that has a check for her. Tracking number is ************* and was asked to call 866-978-7647. I called and spoke with Tommy and gave him the tracking number. He said that was three months and see if still there. He said it is flagged because there is a value on it. Said usually only keep a couple months and then return it. That it was weird it had not been returned. He then said it had a check in it for $925000.00. Asked her to come down and receive it. He then said he needed to talk with manager since gov office. Will check if can come with ID. He then said to be released that I would need to pay them a Money Order for $925.00 to receive it and sign a 1099 tax form. He said go to post office and overnight a money order to Claire Sawyer at PO BOX 963 Norfolk Virginia 23501. Then I knew it was a scam.
