I received a call from someone claiming to be with Publisher's Clearing House. They had me write down a bunch of information: Michael Blue, badge #070, prize #235373 and that I was the US certified winner. They were going to give me a cashier's check from Bank of America for $2,580,000 and a 2024 navy blue Ford Explorer black interior with blue stitching. He gave me a private/confidential number 015682WD1X but didn't say what it was for. He also gave me names of the "Prize Patrol Team": Andy Goldberg, Deborah Allen, Dave Sayers. He said that the Prize Patrol Team would visit me with a sheriff's deputy to deliver the prize. Then he asked if I could come up with the first payment of $850 to receive my prize, and I figured it was a scam.

Contacted by phone that I was the 2nd place winner of $4.5 Million and a Mercedes SUV. Gave me contact number, a code word, and after several calls forwarded information to me with a form to fill out which included asking for my SSN#. Multiple calls. when I said I would to have my attorney and my accountant look at the paper work, he immediately said "Oh no, we must keep this confidential. I needed to talk to a manager. Interestingly, the title for the gentleman I was talking to had a title of Vice President but I need to talk to a manager. Two other red flags were (1) his use of terms that are common to foreigners such as calling me Miss ***** and other idiom type words and (2) some odd wording in the documents they sent.
