Scam Description

We received a call from Publishers Clearing House. Phone number in caller ID was 979-493-0506. Callers name was Michael Anderson. Said we won $2.5 million and a 2023 Mercedes Benz. He is located in Columbus OH. Requested $3000 for FDIC insurance. He also said we can work it out. I had a feeling it was a scam. He also wanted bank account numbers. Why should we have to pay to get a prize. He also emailed documentation. We did not pay any money. We wanted to report the call. Their email is pchcom96@gmail.com.
