I have received 2 calls from Winners International. The first call was from Joe Oxendine who said I was one of three winners in a sweepstakes; that I had won a pearl white 2011 Mercedez Benz and $250,000 cash. Geico is covering the insurance on the car and his company is paying all but 1% of taxes. My car and winnings can not be delivered to me on Monday, January 17 because it is a national holiday (MLK Day). He said they would be back in touch with me on Tuesday. Nevertheless I received a call today (January 17) from Joe who now says his last name is Oxenburg (!). He says that tomorrow I will be receiving a call from a Mr. Duncan regarding delivery. I am sure I will be asked to submit a fee before delivery of my "winnings." I plan to ask them for a tax ID number and call them out as thieves. Is anybody doing anything about this? Fortunately, I am savvy enough not to be taken in. But I am under heavy financial pressure and it is so tempting to hope, to believe. These people should be stopped.
