I got a phone call saying I had won a large sum of money and I just needed to pay the taxes on it. Over the last 6 months I have been sending them the tax payments but I have not received any sweepstakes prize yet. I believe it is a scam.

Scammer stated that I had won 4.5 million dollars plus 50,000.00 cash and a brand new white Mercedes. All I would have to do is go to Wal-Mart and purchase a 250.00 money order to pay the taxes on the cash prize. When I told him it sounded like a scam he got angry and told me to get off of his ******* phone. The caller had an African accent stated his name was David Richmond and gave me a number to call him on. The number is 1 (876) 573 - 9464. He was going to send a UPS Driver to meet me at Wal-Mart to accept the 250.00 and claim my prize.

A guy left voicemail stating he was from publisher's clearing house and said I won 8.5 million and a car and other prizes. Needed to call number 843 548 4623 to verify it is me and I need to pay a fee before getting prizes. I don't know how much the fee is because I didn't call the number.

I did a survey and was told I'd have 3 chances to pick the box with the Coleman tent. I did on the second pick and was told congratulations I won! I just had to pay shipping costs, and if I used a Mastercard I'd get an additional $2 off, that didn't happen. I got a "Thank You and Good Luck" with an order #. I called the next day, gave my order # and was told it would be shipped the following week and would be able to get tracking information through USPS. My bank sent me a fraud alert that "Express Garden Green" was trying to take money out of my account. I didn't recognize the name and had it stopped. The following week I called again and was told I'd only paid to enter a sweepstakes. I told her that I'd saved the add and screen shot the order # and nowhere does it state that I was entering a sweepstakes. She just kept going on about the terms and conditions which I kept saying there weren't any on the add.

I received a text message stating the following:

Jenni, we have now tried to contact you several times regarding your TV. Read more here: fxpdqi.link/QUtZwll

I have entered sweepstakes so I thought maybe that was what it was referring to. I clicked the link, and it said that I had won this TV, but had to send $150.00 for processing and shipping. I immediately closed the window, blocked the number, reported as spam and cleared my phone.
