Had a call 10 days ago from Andy Goldberg in New York confirming I won $5.5 million plus a new Mercedes Benz car. He said I had to send Pch $1050.00 immediately before they could deliver my check and car within 5 days. I of course refused and never heard from PCH since.
My mother got a similar call from someone claiming to be from PCH. Informing her that she was the grand prize winner of millions of dollars and a new car. And the PCH team was already on their way to her house to award her her prizes. She just needed to pay them $3000 dollars.
My mother is easily fooled and she thought this was genuine. So, with the crook still on the phone, she raced through the house to retrieve her credit cards. My brother and I stopped her and we tried telling her this is a scam. At first she wouldnt believe us (”what if it isnt?”). It actually took a couple of minutes for us to talk mother down and not give her credit card details to whomever was on the phone and hang up the phone.
