Scam Description
On Nov. 2 at 8:30 PM EST I received a call (did not speak with her- let it go to voicemail because the call was from a Private Caller) from a person posing as Deborah Holland from Publishers Clearinghouse stating I won $7,000/wk for life. She told me to call 929-526-5320 to claim my prize with a claim number 85031. On Nov. 3 at 8:30 a.m. EST, I called the number (out of curiosity), and it went to voicemail so I hung up- didn’t state any name. Once I made that call, I then received 3 calls from James Brown from 973-888-3789 of which I let go to voicemail. No message left.
