Received a call from this number this morning. Said I won $750,000.00 however after taxes etc. I would receive $519,315.00. Then said they had sent me two notifications last year in reference to this award. Asked if I remembered receiving? I said no. Because I didn't respond to the notifications. They have to verify I am who they are looking for. Duhhh you have my name, address, phone# what more do u need?? They mentioned Brinks would be delivering my check along with certain documents so I could receive my check. Ok at this point I am waiting for the CATCH!!! And here it is!! I have to provide them with a certified cashiers check of $1,000.00 to receive my winnings. I started laughing and told the rep Jon West do you think you are talking to a stupid broad!!! Why do I have to pay $1000.00 to get my money!!! This is a scam!! Of course Jon got upset because I wasn't buying into his speech. WE had a few choice words to each other. Then he said remember I told you can give up your winnings if you want to. That's right I don't want what isn't there!!! Goodbye!

Just got the exact same call yesterday on my answering machine. Word for word on the call back. Thought it might be a scam when I noticed my last name was misspelled. They are persistent if you tell them maybe. They even sent us an Email with a pic of the check and a letter from the Federal Trade Commission.(FTC does not get involved in unclaimed winnings). Along with a business card from the new contact in Nevada. But the Email address on the card did not work. hmmmm Guess I'll give up my winnings too! Thanks for posting, too many people are losing in these scams.
