Description
A phone number has called my parents home phone twice in the last week. Once at 1:30 am and 1:30 pm and left a message that they were from Readers Digest and that the residence of the household had won 4 million dollars in their sweepstakes. They wanted someone from the household to call them back at the phone number they left on the answering machine to collect the sweepstakes winnings. My parents knew it was a scam and did not call them back and erased the message from the answering machine. They asked me to report this scam for them.
