They left a voicemail. I assume my phone didn’t ring because it was a robocall (usually it will say missed call), not this time. It just didn’t ring. The voicemail mail said (I copied and pasted the voicemail), “Million dollars and a brand new Mercedes-Benz hello the publishers clearing house is pleased to officially announce you as the first place winner in the $100 million golden harvest sweepstakes giveaway sponsored by publishers clearing house readers digest in the multi state lottery association as the second place winner you will be awarded with a total cash prize of $17 million and a brand new Mercedes-Benz congratulations to mega millions have made all the necessary arrangements in order for you to receive your prize your funds are currently being held at a federal reserve Bank of New York please note US federal law are required that your prize information is kept strictly confidential from third parties this is to prevent an authorized access to your funds and for the abuse of our system all questions should be directed to your account manager please write down your confirmation number, (I left the confirmation number out so no one will call and give that number to anyone!) you may reach your assisting agent at 516-440-6160 please ask for Todd Sloan thank you…” As I stated above, I took out the confirmation number but still have it! I don’t want anyone being taken advantage of.
