I just received a telephone call informing me that I won 3.5 Million dollars and a new mercedes. The person said that his name was Jeff White from Las Vegas and he is doing this on behalf of Donald Trump. He gave me a number of 702-516-1175.
He then told me in order for me to get my money, I needed to go immediately to western union and wire $4,500 to Bobbie Hale Huntington Texas. Then they would come to my house and bring me the 3.5 million dollars. This is not a joke and I am concerned that maybe RI is targeted. Given that I am in my late 50's they may be targeting the older population. Also, they have my home address and quoted it to me and said that they got it from a list and I was randomly selected.
I decided to call the number back and found that it was a magic jack telephone number so the call could have been made from any computer in the world. When I called and got a magic Jack voice mail. I hung up and someone called me back and asked how can I help you Ms Shepard. I told them that they called me and I needed to know why they called. The person said that they needed to look into why they called me and hung up.
My concern is that an elderly person may be taken in by this and send their savings. I would appreciate it if someone can look into it.
Thanks
