Entered by BBB Staff SE 6-26-2019

Consumer received an "Executive Memorandum" from "Executive Vice President Deborah Holland" with the subject line reading "Incomplete Compliance for your $25,000 A Month for Life Prize Number". It appears there was a handwritten note on the top of the letter stating "Mr._______ This was sent after you've ignored prior notices! Don't you want to win?". In the letter there were instructions of what the consumer would be receiving in the next day and they provided a prize number to use when calling them.

Called and was told I won over 2 million dollars, the caller identified himself as "William Kennedy" but sounded foreign. Asked him if he goes by "Bill" and the caller sounded confused. He mentioned his CEO " John Peterson with a code 995-20 would contact me with further information on how to get my 2 Million. Lots of red flags.

 Consumer received a numerous calls from someone claiming to be from Publisher's Clearinghouse. They asked for banking numbers as well as her social security number. Caller said that consumer would be sent a certified check. Consumer asked the caller if she could record the call and they hung up. There is a male in the background telling the female what to say over the phone to the consumer.

A lady call me stating I won $1 Million Dollars and they want to come to my house but, when they come it't going to be a suprise. So, she said, I'm not telling you when we coming. We know you are going to be so happy to receive your check. By the way, we are going to need you to give us your driver license number. My excitement die down and I figure this is a scam.
