Scam Description

The scammer had many of his bases covered when he called. First of all, I could hardly understand him because of his accent. But he just kept talking. He said his name was John Cooper and he was with PCH, Publishers Clearing House, and I had won the grand prize of $700 Million and a car. He was quick to give me the Confirmation Prize #39313007W2J2445 and his badge #US445.
He then said he was going to have his supervisor confirm everything and I would be talking to them. I heard noise in the background and then the “supervisor”, got on the phone. He said, in a foreign voice, “Hello, is this Ms. James”? I said no. He seemed shocked but then said, “Ok, now Ms. James”…………., that is when I hung up. I had enough, I tried to wait it out, but it was just too ridiculous.
