Scam Description
I was told I was the 2nd place winner of the Publisher’s Clearing House Golden Harvest contest in conjunction with Readers Digest and had won 17 million dollars and brand new Mercedes Benz. I was told to call Todd Sloan at (516) 905-9692 (my account rep) with any questions on how how to claim my prize. The money was being held at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City. I did not call. The number came up on my cell phone as potential spam (347) 926-1543 and they left this information as a voice mail.
