Scam Description
The man calling had an accent and said hello, do you remember responding to publishers clearing house? Reluctantly I answered yes, my husband did, he proceeded to say you won a prize and will you be home today to receive it, I played along, he said to get a pen and paper and write down these instructions, I then hung up! Figured it was a scammer. He tried calling back, went to my answering service, he hung up, a total of three calls. We have a block on phone for unwanted calls, he somehow got around that! Needs to stop!
