Scam Description
I received a call from David Sawyer (850-604-0706) who said he was from Publishers Clearing House and was calling from Molino, Florida. He said I won $5.5 Million and a new car. He knew my address, my email address, and my phone #. I said no and hung up. I received a 2nd call from Clarisse Johnson (865-503-9076) who said she was from Bank of America. Clarisse asked for my bank account number so that my winnings could be deposited into my account. She asked for my social security #, my VA information, and my age, too. I accidentally gave her my age. She said she needed by full profile information for delivery and prize package. Clarisse said the money is in Las Vegas. I said if that is the case, that I could go to Las Vegas to collect it by cashier’s check. She said I had until tomorrow to get my winnings. I said that it wasn’t right, that it only one day notice. She backed out and said if I gave my bank account #, that I’d get the money through wire transfer. I refused. I received a 3rd phone call from Jack Peterson (812-633-0788 x12) who said that he was Head Officer Bank of America Card Services who asked for the same information.
All three were very persistent.
