Received a call from "attorneys" Lewis & Klein in Albany New York, telling me I've won a $500,000 Sweepstakes Prize!! One small catch, however. I'll have to pay soooooo much of it to the IRS that I'll receive only pennies. But wait -- they can save the day! If I'll simply wire $10,000 to their Tel Aviv office, they can do an end-run around the IRS for me and I'll get my $500,000 in cash the very next day!!! They even gave me a physical street address -- 115 54th St., Albany, New York! Their phone number is 866-591-2798! Well guess what? There IS NO 54th Street in Albany (or at least Mapquest can't find it)! The fella with the British accent who answers the phone tells me he's a lawyer licensed to practice in the State of New York, but refuses to give me his bar card numnber!! Would love to shut these guys down if I can find out how to track down this "866" number they're using. Any help would be appreciated!

Susan, I live in Albany, New York and you are right there is no 54th street. The number you have on your report is not in service it was a big scam, hope you didnt fall for it!

If memory serves correctly, the FBI and the Secret Service both have departments that investigate this type of crime. I'd start by contacting your local office of either of these agencies. Also, you should be able to log onto the web site of the New York State Bar and be able to verify if contact is truly an attorney. I'm sure that this type of solicitation would violate professional ethics rules in New York.
