This was an email sent, claiming to be from "abuse dept" of the BBB with an incident # saying I needed to click a link and read the incident and get back to them with a response. It is super fishy because the email address it was sent from is not a bbb.org email address, and the link given to click isn't a bbb link either. I didn't click it!

I just received an email saying that the BBB has gotten a complaint with our company that we violated the Fair Labor Standards Act. It was from Mary C. Abbott but the email is a different name and that I had a case number and I needed to click the link they provided to get me to the BBB office.

Phone:876-883-1296
Country:United States
Type of a scam:Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I received a very suspicious call from a person who said his name was Wayne Anderson, and he also claimed to work for the ScamPulse.com in Tampa, FL. He called me from the number 876-883-1296, which is either an out of country number or a burner cell number, as that area code doesn't show up in a search of US area codes. He also gave me another number of 757-690-0121, which is in Virginia Beach, VA.
Anyway, he told me that I had won $8.5 million and a car and more cash, tax free. And ALL I had to do was send him (or someone else by the name of Linda VanFossen) $399 for processing and handling. I just needed to go to Walmart and get a Western Union receipt, and tomorrow they would come to my door with all of my prizes! So after listening and playing along with all of his B.S., I told him he was full of it, and he proceeded to use some colorful four letter words and insults in my direction. I told him to have a nice day and hung up.
Never in the history of the universe have I ever heard of having to pay anything to receive a prize/lottery/sweepstakes, other than income taxes, which are after the fact, not upfront through Western Union.
