They said this is a prize for you and your mother. Caller was Mary Roberts. She gave me a badge number 10012. She gave me phone number 860-448-7331. She said I won $3.5 million. Roses and a Kia. Two bottles of champagne. Two gift card for $3000 and two gas cards for $5000 each. Deborah Holland Finance Director was to call me to tell me today to tell me how much I needed to pay. . She was to give me the dollar amount I was to send. They asked if I wanted it private or public. I said nobody is giving this to me. They called this morning but I was not home. I thought this was a scam. Who gives away that many prizes. I have worked hard all my life. The call initially came up as Cleveland OH on my caller ID. That is why I answered. Usually I don't answer. My phone will say spam risk.
