Fake PCH called from 876-554-5951  trying to ask me for 1000 dollars to be sent 300,000 dollars of winnings.

Received a call from David Anderson who indicated that I won $5 million from PCH and he and the lawyer, Jay Covey, will be delivering the prize in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Davis then proceeded to say that his company does not like it that IRS is taking money out of the winning, and made a deal with IRS so that the winner has to pay only 1% or $400 for the winning. I was told I have to pre-pay that money. I asked for a contact number to get back to them so that I can check it out before proceeding. The number provided was 876-504-2710 ext 5.
