Second try - first time hit one of Earthlink's modems that's on the PDML blacklist.
I got a call today to tell me I won $2.8 million in the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes (which I haven't even received junk mail from for years & years, much less entered). I only need to pay $950 for "registration & insurance" in order to collect my prize. Only problem is that when I told him I'd have to go to the bank to see if I have the $950 for "registration & insurance" in my account the call mysteriously "dropped". He called back once, but didn't get further than "I'm sorry, the call ..." before it "dropped" again. Do you think this might be a SCAM? That's a rhetorical question BTW. If he thinks I'm going to give him money or banking information, he's stupider than he obviously thinks I am. But it was entertaining for a few minutes. UPDATE: These guys got pretty frantic trying to get back in touch with me. I let them accumulate about a dozen "missed calls" before picking up again. I told them I was having problems with my cell phone and suggested they call me back on my "land line". Gave them the telephone number for the Charlotte, NC FBI office. They even called me back once again to verify they had copied the number for my land line correctly. Gave them the FBI's number again and made sure I enunciated clearly. 8D -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
