calling saying that we won $800,000. Asking personnel information

Female advised me she was calling from a named law firm and that I had won 2nd prize in Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes.  Took several seconds for her to come on the phone and I could hear other operators in the background, like a call center.  Breathlessly asked me "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HAVE WON"  I replied flatly "no, I don't".. She then hung up.

Phillipino lady called( I can distunguish Asian accents) and said won 800,000. second prize and attorney will be on line after asking me question for winner's application. She asked what name to put check under, age, if I own my home(which I countered with what has to do w/ u giving me money?), I told her my brother is an attorney so give me your attorney's name( Falco but she spelled it totally differently which is not even close) and when I asked that she hung up right away. So cat wanting to play w/its mouse, I redialed her number but disconnected! Can't figure out how they are able to dial on disconnected numbers?!

Hung up after I answered.

Have called two days in a row, on no call list which is useless. Don't answer numbers I don't know, no messages left

I have continued over the past two weeks to get calls from this number with no message. My debit card has recently been compromised and took place around the time these calls started coming in. I do not know if there is any relationship but seems odd to me of the timing of things.

Just got a call from this number....stated she was with (blah, blah and blah) law firm.   Asked if this was "my real name".  I answered this is the correct residence" why are you calling.   Then she asked again if this was "my real name" again.  I said you have reached the correct residence.  Why are you calling. Then she hung up when she was not getting yes for an answer.

got same spill and hung up and disconnected number when tried to call back

same-won $800,000 as 2nd prize in publisher's clearing house, asked me how it felt and the line went dead

It's a SCUMBAG from Yonkers NY named DIRTY JOHN DALY

Just received a call, said I won 800k in consumer clearing house sweeps, also was plugged in to attorney wm.falco, wanted 1,500$ up front and given # to federal gaming and trade commission  (202-379-1884 and a claim #, was told to call back @ 512-696-1418 to speak with falco after calling trade commission. BEWARE!

Received a phone call on my landline. The caller ID was from Texas, female voice said I won second place cash prize from a major clearing house. "Do you want to know how much you won?" I said, yes. She said $800,000. She asked me how I felt. I said, "unbelievable, I don't believe it"  she hung up.

Same call. Female voice. Called March 15, 2017 at 10 AM

Obviously a scam of some sort.    Lady identified herself as from "XYZ Law firm" ...caller ID said from Austin Texas....she asked if I had "already been notified of the money I had won."  I have learned to not respond ....I told her before she continued with her script  "No, you are a scammer"   ... she immediately hung up.  Obviously I identified her correctly.  The number on the caller ID did not represent the real number she was calling from ..."not a working number" ....apparently not a difficult process to arrange for these scammers......

On Mon 3-13-17, I received a phone call(from above number) from a female all excited and told me that I  had won $800,000.  She then proceeded to tell me that I had won the SECOND prize in the Publishers Clearing House drawing, and that amount was $800,000.  She asked me numerous times if I was excited, and would I be home Wed between 10am and 2pm for a courier (from Global Security Express) to come to my home and drop off a certified check.  She was specific that I needed positive identification to show the courier   After a short amount of small talk, she stated that she was going to transfer me to Attorney Falco.
A short time passed and a male voice came on the line and stated that he was Attorney Falco and was an International Attorney. He was with the Law Firm of FALCO, Berkowitz, and Associates in Austin, Texas.  He  further explained that the certified check drawn from a bank in Europe and would take three days to clear after I deposited it.  In the meantime, Federal Taxes would need to be paid.  The current Income tax rate was 43%  and the Federal Income Tax would be $344,000 that I would be responsible for.  He could help me with $10,500.  However, he had connections with the Union Bank International in Manila, Philippines Islands that would cover 90% of the tax, leaving me to have to come up with $1500.00.   He then asked me if I could come up with this amount of money.  Of course I said that would be no problem. I then said that I didn't fully understand and proceeded to ask him numerous questions about who he was, what were the company names, etc, etc. However, when I asked him for his (Lawyer's) Bar Association number and License he refused to give them to me stating they were confidential.  I told him they were public knowledge that I could get from the Bar Association.  He became frustrated with me and finally I told him he was a SCAMMER and I hung up.
PS. On Wednesday no courier came with the check :)

Good for you. Unfortunately there are many folks who would be scrambling to round up that money, only to loose it as it's a scam.

Recv'd call from this # at 8:30 am.  I did not answer since I did not recognize this #.  No msg was left.  I get 4-6 calls like this each wk.  Annoying!

just got a call from someone representing "Falco, Berkowitz and Associates, asking if I got the letter regarding a check.  I asked for their info and phone # so that I could check if I did receive the letter and I would call them back.  told them I got no letter, but to send it again and then I would call them to discuss.  I also said  not to bother me again if this is a scam, which it is.  you hear other callers in the background.
