Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I initially received a text message September 1st stating I won $1000000 and to click link to claim winnings.
It’s an email link.
I asked "what’s this nonsense all about".
Today I received an email explaining in detail how to claim winnings. The email contains a direct line but no toll free number which is strange for an international lottery.
I called the New York number which is actually New Jersey.
The man sounds like a senior citizen claiming he has been doing this for 27 years. Myself and 7 others have won $1000000.
I asked many questions and concluded our conversation stating I will be checking to see if this is a legitimate registered business and I will get back to you.
A few minutes later I receive a phone call from a woman whom sounds very old. Claims she is Amanda Jones. This name is also in the email.
Each time I said I am going to investigate for legitimacy, both the man and the woman during both conversations asked me to direct any questions through email. I asked them how does that make you legitimate by stating you are legitimate? I then said I will be in touch after my investigation.
I am attaching all photos involving this scam.
Thank You!!..
I’m not sure why I can only send one photo so I will send you the email with phone number.
Please contact me for all photos to send.
