Description

On May 8th I received a phone call from someone whose name was John Davis, claiming to be with the International Lottery Corporation, to advise me that I had won a prize with Readers Digest a long time ago and it had not been claimed. When I would not engage in further conversation he said I could call 1-876-3166947 and speak to Kevin. I of course did not, instead I called BC Lottery Corporation, spoke to Matthew who said he would file my report to the fraud department. He advised me to contact antifraudcentre.ca. I went to the site and Norton advised me that it was a dangerous site and that I could continue if I accepted the risk. So - to the BBB!
