877-305-6630

A woman by the name of Linda Harmony asked me if I was George Ellwood and said that she was from the Treasury department and inquired if I heard if I won money in a sweepstakes which I replied that every week at least twice in a letter that I won several millions of dollars and all I had to do was to return the bottom portion of the letter with a check for processing fees, which I never do send any money. After telling her about a man calling himself John Adams called numerous times to get me to wire money to an address supposedly in Wisconsin, he gave me his phone number to call back to show his being on the up & up, which I did only to find out by checking the internet that it was a phone located in Kingston, Jamaca. When he called again, I confronted him with it and he never called again. This Linda Harmony said that she would check up on it and get back to me. I am still waiting for her call. When I called that number again, a man answered the phone and stated that he was the Treasury Dept. So is this another scam ?

Woman called from 1877 305 6630 claiming to be from treasury dept and calling for my 85 year old mother. Called 2x today five minutes apart.

A woman named Mary called.She said she was calling about a settlement. I have no idea why she would be calling about a settlement! I have gotten other calls from this same 1-877-305-6630 number, but I will not answer.

Got call from a duty jack saying I was entered in a sweepstake and I won something  and to call national media awards for prize

Things to believe:

• "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."
• If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government    
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• You have not won a contest that you never entered.
• Everything you read on the internet or hear on the phone is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or a different famous software company, or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you Vanilla Card, GreenDot, MoneyGram, Western Union, iTunes or use ANY gift/money/reload  PIN-type card to send money to a scammer, the money is gone.  In fact, as of June, 2016, it is ILLEGAL for telemarketers to ask for payment via these methods.
• You should beware of Geeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites, or a statement that your computer is infected.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!
• The number you see on your Caller ID may not be the number of the person who called you!
• The Do Not Call List works as intended.  It is NOT a call blocker!
• If you fall for a scam, you will be put on a "sucker list", and will get many more scammy calls!
