I recived a phone call at 6:45 am 12/19/08. It was Kevin Miller from the federal Trades Comision. He informed me that I had won 2nd place in the Dream Foundation Sweepstakes, [Through Publishers Clearinghouse] which was 3.5 million. He gave me a claim# and a phone#702-505-9831, To a Mr. Cooper at the Dream Foundation. When I called Mr Cooper to claim my prize, He told me I needed to Insure my prize delivery through Loids of London. The insured curry service would cost 4,500. So I called the number, Mr. Cooper gave me for Loids of London 718-285-8990. I then spoke with a Charles Snider, Who told me I could either send the 4,500 or pay in person at one of the 3 California offices.in Saratoga, Bakerfield or Manhatten. All of which are over a 6 hour drive from where I live. I told Mr. Snider I did not belive it and I wanted Proof. He said he would fax me a letter from the FTC and the Dream Foundation, stating my winnings. I tried 4 different fax numbers and the letters never came through. Finally Mr. Snider told me that their fax machines where down and that he would call me when they where working again. No one has called me back and I cant get a hold of any one. I didnt get scamed because I took my time and Demaded proof. If I would have gotten the letters I would taken them to a Paralegal for examining.
