Today 8/9/19, caller john jones), said my mom won $500,000 2nd prize, which would be delivered by courier on monday, 8/12/19 between 9 a.M. And 11 a.M. This person with an british accent, at times) said he would transfer me to an attorney, mel banks, after we answered a few questions about finances: income, investments, credit cards. Since i told them her income averaged $1000 a month, with no investments and no credit cards, we immediately got disconnected. Lol! didn't get to speak to attorney at all. I guess we didn't fit into their targeted income range. Scam, scam, scam! if you're a winner, why do they need any of this info? I'm glad i didn't give them real info.
My husband received a call early this morning stating that he had won second prize in the Consumer Clearingghouse Sweepstakes in the amount of $500,000. The young lady insisted that he wale me up to share in the call. He refused so she called back later. She asked about our ages, how long we were married and if we had stocks, bonds or IRA's. Then she put us on hold to talk to the attorney handling the case.
Holden Stern, a tax attorney, came on the phone and expressed his happiness that we had won the prize. He stated that he had been hired by Consumers Clearinghouse to handle the prize money that would be delivered to us in two days by International Courier. He stated that he was instucted to handle the taxes on the prize money. The money was coming from out of the country so the taxes would be $216,000 but he could do it as corporate taxes for only $65,000 which would be paid in advance by HSBC International Finance. At this point, our connection was lost. When he didn't call back, my suspicion that this was a scam was pretty much confirmed. Then I searched it on the internet and see that this scam has been going around since 2014. Thank goodness no money exchanged hands.
