Scam Description
I received a call that said I had won the publisher clearing house sweepstakes, but when I called the number back they said I had won the Mega Millions. They wanted me to go buy a gift card to pay them the processing fees, I knew that request did not sound right so I did not buy a gift card. They then mailed me a check to cover the fees. I called the police and had them listen to the messages left on my phone.
