I was messaged, by name, about a property I haven't owned in over 10 years. It was a very vague message that would make most people contact them for clarification.

SCAM
It was from a restricted phone number. I normally do not answer calls from a restricted number but I have a close friend who has a restricted number and I had seen him the day before.
When I answered the phone I thought it was a joke my friend was playing on me.
The call: The man said his name was David W*** and he was with Walmart and I had won 2.35 million dollars from a contest or online survey I had entered. David W*** had a Jamaican accent. He gave me his ID number as 112233 and asked me to write down some information. Tracking number 843518596437325, Bank number DD104702.
He wanted to know which bank they could sent the messenger too. He gave me two choices, one of them was my bank.
Then he wanted to know if I wanted to meet at the bank or at my house. I said, the bank.
He then told me, I had won a bonus. Which Mercedes color would I like. Then, which insurance company I would like the paid insurance from. My choice were Geico or Allstate. I went with Allstate. He then gave me the phone number of the Insurance agency. 2085841122.
He went on to ask me how soon I could make it to Boise to receive my prize. I told him I was at work and could not leave. He said, "Tell your boss you have a family emergency and need to leave work".
He was very adamant about me needing to leave and go meet them.
They need to know how far I was from Burley, Twin Falls and Idaho Falls. Something about needing to meet them by 2 o'clock. When, I told him, that i could not leave he became more forceful with me. I hung up on him. He called me back 7 times.
To sum it up he gave me 2 choices for banks, 2 choices for insurance and how long I had been working for my current job.
Hopefully, this will help others
The letter stated I needed to do the following within the next 3 days (arrived on Saturday)
Buy an item (under $50 at my local Walmart) and report on cleanliness, professionalism, and speed of transaction. Noting name of cashier and if they welcomed me.

I was to take note of the customer service in that transaction as well, and once complete I was to email to the email provided.
The letter also noted I was not to make anyone aware of what I was doing, I was to execute the entire assignment within 3 days of receiving the letter and check.
