Caller Claimed Powerball Win, Wanted $710 Green Dot MoneyPak

Mr. Phillip Bailey called my cell to tell me I had won a "Powerball raffle" I had entered at a local grocery store (which, by the way, he could not name). Then he asked me to go to Walmart or Walgreens to purchase a Green Dot MoneyPak for $710.00. He stressed "Green Dot MoneyPak, not card." He said it was against the law for people to travel from state to state with more than 10 thousand dollars, so this money would register it with the state and it would then be legal. Then I was to call him at 202-241-4408 with the number on the back of the MoneyPak, and the money would be at my house within 45 minutes, because they could use GPS to get it there so quickly.

Knowing that this had to be a scam, I got online to post the claim. This man had a strange accent, and English is not his first language. He also gave me a prize number and a code number. Then he said not to talk to anyone who did not know these codes. I told him that since he knew I was getting this money, he could just take it out of my winnings. Of course, he "could not do that!" He has since called me back twice within the last 30 minutes, encouraging me to do what he requested. Not!
