Scam Description
My mother received a call stating she won 1.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. They called her back several times before telling her that they would be out the next day to provide her with her money and car. All she needed to do is get two $500 American Express gift cards from Walgreens. This was to pay the Federal Government. They still continue to call. My mother is in her late 80’s and forgets she is not to talk to them or provide them with any information.
