The person called my phone twice. I hung up the first time they called back, said that I had won money for entering into a sweepstakes. Said that I won 2.5 million and 7000 a week for life. Told me all the information including important number that I would need for the briefcase. He asked me if I would know Steve Harvey if I seen him. Seemed pretty legit until that. He then stated that I would have to go to walmart or somewhere where I could get a preloaded card to load 1010.00 on it in order to receive the check. He kept saying they were on their way and that they had to fly in and they were so many miles out. Until I told him that I could r load the card, he started pushing me to load it by stating it would be my money and I could easily double it once they came with the check. He kept saying that I could pass up this money and it would go to the next person in line. He was very nice and patient at first, spoke about religion a lot. I eventually hung up

My dad was contacted by a David ***** and was told won millions of dollars but needed to pay money on pre paid gift cards to cover expenses. He purchased pre paid gift cards twice on his credit cards twice totaling around 15000. Scott kept calling and said he would bring the money to his house but kept having trouble getting there-had a wreck etc. My family has tried to get him to realize what has happened:

Pop up on FB, spin and win a prize. states I won a free cold tumbler, just pay $.95 cents for shipping. Item never arrived. On my CC I was charged $9.95 and $49.95. I called the number listed and I was told I had signed up for sweepstakes entry. I have no idea what these other charges are, as I have not received anything. Total mistake. The person I spoke with stated they would refund $49.95 to my CC, but I haven't seen it yet. The name of the Company, Hardware M is false. This company is also putting one on hold, "if you owe back taxes"...blah blah blah. I don't know how many scam umbrellas they have going on, but do not buy into it.
