I was contacted to hear that I had won 2nd place in a Consumers' Clearing House Sweepstakes, that I did not remember entering. The prize was a $500K check to be delivered within 48 hours directly to me. The caller represented the law firm Silverman Goodwin & Associates in Houston, TX (I looked them up...no such firm). When confirming my delivery address, I confirmed it was my work address; they asked me for my home address, instead.
When I declined to give/confirm my work address, they disconnected the call. A return call to the number they gave in Houston (713.357.6090) did not ring through. This was the 2nd time in 3 days that I got similar calls from callers speaking from the very same script, to no avail....no check!! I called my neighbors to alert them it may be a neighborhood scam, as well.

There have been fraud reports against "Silverman Goodwin & Associates." Silverman Goodwin, LLP has NO associations with this phony company.
