Description

I received a phone call today from David Snow from Publishers Clearing House saying I had won 2nd place, $1.5 million, $5000 a week for life and a cherry red mercedes Benz. He said someting about Allstate Insurance. He asked if I was married or lived alone, and my age. He asked if I wanted it private or publicized. He said private, nobody will know, but if it's public it wll be on Facebook and they would come with all the bells and whistles. He gave me a certified check number.  He asked if I was a Christian. he wanted me to meet them at my bank to personally hadn me the check and get it deposited into my bank. I told her my car was broken down and I couldn't meet him. He said: "Well, that's God, you can get a new card." He asked me to stay on the line until I get my check. He asked if I could get an Uber. I said no I don't have any money. He asked if I could get a friend, and I told him he would have to give me an hour.
