Today I received the call from Mr Anderson of Publishers Clearing house. I used to receive calls almost every day from Mr Kingston about my winnings. I’m guessing I’m about to get those calls again.
Caller ID said Kingston, Jamaica; caller, who claimed to be "Mr. David Anderson of Publishers Clearing House," had a Jamaican accent. Claimed I had won $5.5 million, and I was to get $500K "tomorrow" along with a 2019 Mercedes ("You must be very excited!"). To satisfy the IRS, I was to purchase a $199.14 card at Walmart or CVS or Walgreen's and read the numbers to him when he called back the next day. I told him he must think I'm an idiot and hung up.
Caller left a message claiming to be from publishers clearing house. Needs you to call them back to claim a prize.
