Publishers Clearinghouse Todd Sloan, John Sebastian/US Post Office Trying to ripoff "hopeful" Publisher Clearing House winners
A man who goes by the name of Todd Sloan, called to let me know I won Publishers Clearing House for 3 1/2 million dollars and an all expense trip for 2 to some islands. He gave me his telephone # as(208)403-0835.
He said being as I am my age (78), I will only have to pay 2% of the winnings, which is $1555.00. when they come to deliver the winnings tomorrow. He said I should pay it in the form of a cashiers check.
He asked if I had any IRS's or savings/checking accounts. I told him I do. He told me "I dont want any of your account information, that that would be fraud. "
He gave me a serial # for the winnings and told me to hide it in a safe place and not tell anyone (not even my immediate family). He said they are listed with the BBB and when they come to the house they will need my drivers license or some form of ID.
I started getting apprehensive and asked him if I could call him back. He called me back in less than 5 minutes. But I didnt answer the phone. Then the phone rang again as a 111 phone number, my daughter answered it and a man named John Sebastian was on the line and that he wanted my serial # and my daughter told him I thought I was talking to Todd SLoan reagardimg this. He apologied and said he was with the US Post Office and my awards ltter would come in the mail tomrrow. And he hung up.
