Scam Description
The text message used the similar Manuel Franco. He identified himself as Johnnie Taylor Megaball $476 mil winner and randomly selected 500 phone numbers. Phone number text received from 559 203-4506 to claim $110,000.00. I should text a Mr. Ben Lucas by texting the number 3122 to phone number
949 243-8332 so he can arrange payment of the $110,000.00.
I attempted to do a look up of the numbers and both identified as being in or around the Mesa California area.
