Scam Description
We have received numerous calls and emails from someone purporting to be from Publisher’s Clearinghouse. They say we have won the grand prize for $24 million and a red Mercedes Benz. We’ve talked to men and women, at least four people: Debra Holland, Mike Holland. They are asking for a $9,800 processing fee. They told us we could send cash or a cashier’s check made out to C****** M*********, **** ***** Ave, *****, IO *****. She told me I should call her when I pull into the parking lot of my bank. Mike said he was a Christian, and goes to church. They emailed us their pictures with their names under them. They provided the amount of taxes the IRS would take out. They sent a picture of a check with our name on it. They said Terry Bradshaw would be coming to our door to deliver the check. They said the car would be delivered on a flatbed truck tomorrow or Monday, and they would let us know for sure. I am a Christian, and I can’t tell her she’s a scammer.
