Description

A MAN CALLING HIMSELF TODD SLOANE FROM PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE. TODD SAID THAT I WOW $955.000 AND A 2024 MERCEDES BENZ. IT SOUNDED TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. HE TOLD ME WHAT NEEDED TO PROVE MY ID AND GAVE ME A WINNING PRICE CONFIRMATION NUMBER. HE DID NOT ASK FOR ANY BANK INFO. TOWARD THE END OF THE CALL HE SAID THAT I WOULD ALSO NEED A ONE VANILLA VISA GIFT CARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $416 AND WHEN I GET THAT, I NEED TO CALL HIM BACK AT 1-438-801-0388 AND HE WOULD CONFIRM THAT I HAVE BOUGHT THE CARD. FOR THE ENTIRE CALL I DID NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YES, BUT HE KEPT TRYING TO GET ME TO DO THAT. HE ASKED WHAT DAY I WOULD BE CALLING HIM, I TOLD HIM THE 30TH. WHICH I HAD NO PLANS TO DO SO. I WORRY ABOUT OTHERS WHO MIGHT HAVE BELIEVE THAT IT WAS REAL AND LOSE MONEY.
