He was claiming that consumer had won a 1.5 million dollar check that consumer never responded back to. He also said that consumer won a car and that they were on their way from Springfield Ohio to deliver the prize to her. He knew her address. The caller ID on consumer's phone said "unavailable". Dave asked her if she was sure she didn't receive any mail about the check. Consumer answered "yes", and then Dave said that someone must be watching her house and stealing her mail.

I got a Facebook IM from my classmate, saying I was eligible for a grant and to call a number. I called. She said she was a Born again Christian, Child of God, Angel of God, and she'd been sent to bring me a good gift. She wanted me to answer a list of 12 questions: monthly income, mother's maiden name, marital status, etc. She said she's really legitimate, sent me pictures of PCH prize winners. She said $150,000 was to be delivered to my house in a box from Publisher's Clearinghouse. I was told not to tell anybody about it. I was told to go out and buy a $500 Google Play card. Then she asked "Do you understand?", I said no. When I asked questions, she didn't answer. When I messaged my friend, she said it was safe, trust them. She said we're waiting for you to buy Google cards. I told them I would report them to the police. Everything was done through Facebook, and the grammar was awkward.
