do not give these dirty people any money it is a scam.

We also received several calls yesterday from this number.  They said it was the IRS--but if it truly was we would have received a letter from them first.I am going to call the IRS on Monday and report them.  I think everyone else should do the same.

I tried to call the IRS about this this morning, but the automated system wouldn't get me anywhere.  if you find a way to reach them about this, pass it on please!

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!

Received a call and voicemail.  Thank heavens for the updated transcript on the phone.  It was "Mark Everett with the consumer protection bureau in Washington DC. We need to speak with you on an urgent matter.  Our direct line is 202-558-4543."  There was a pause between giving the area code and the rest of the number.  Almost like he didn't know what number to give.

I received a call today supposedly from the Consumer Protection Bureau. Said it was urgent to call them today or within next 24 hours

They called and left a message claiming to be from the Consumer Protection Bureau. First a man called. Then a lady called from a different number 415 735 3248. She also claimed to be from the Consumer Protection Bureau. Both of these must be free Google internet phone numbers. Both people had foreign accents.
