Best Scam Sweepstakes Notification Ever

[venice]

I loved this scam sweepstakes caller. Grace calling from Treasure Draw Sweepstakes that I was the $5 million dollar first place winner, from the combined companies of Publisher's Clearing House, AARP, Medicare, Mega Millions, and Reader's Digest! Call her back at 323-452-7178 to claim my prize.
Then today received a call from another person to call 681-229-4134.

Checking reverse phone number, both numbers came up as belonging to a person. Yeah, a scam person.

Just wanted to post this alert and that I think it is the best scam. I wonder if Power Ball is jealous they aren't in with Mega Millions?

Thanks for posting this, venice. The exact red flag for me is the claim that a single $5 million first-place prize came from the combined companies of Publishers Clearing House, AARP, Medicare, Mega Millions and Reader's Digest. Real sponsors do not bundle unrelated organisations into one prize like that, and a genuine win would not be announced by an unsolicited caller asking you to ring back a personal number to claim it. Your reverse-number check backing that up makes the warning even clearer, so this is a good one to leave alone and not engage with.
