Cold call by Mr. Washington, with an accent. Stating I had von the amount of $2,500, 000.00 and ready for delivery by next day by UPS. The phone number used 876-297-8197. Concerned I checked reverse listings - non existing number, reverse ATT no number listed. This person called three times during the day. When I asked how they had my information Mr. Washington reported I had completed a coupon in 2010 at a grocery store. I asked which store - at which time he needed to get with his manager for that information. Mr. Washington assured me they were in good standing with BBB and that they worked closely with the IRS; so at the time of delivery an IRS agent would be present. Again he stated that had a briefcase already prepared and just needed to deliver it. Did I want the TV to film the delivery? Was I single? Was I retired? Were key question they asked. We already have your address they reported.By now I had found this site and confirmed the scam - though it was entertaining to explore the way they do business and what they are looking for.
I did call and notified the local police - but this was not of interest since no criminal act had taken place - unbelievable! As the police had the chance to explore this fraud in progress. Needles to say, I did not provide true information and blocked the caller number.
