Some guy named David Summers called from a "no caller id"number telling me I won 2.5M. That the certified check would be delivered this afternoon by UPS. I only had to send a Walmart to Walmart Payment in the amount of $255.00 (registration fee) to Paul Koeuth in Dallas, TX 75243. The receipt provided by Walmart is the "claim receipt" required for UPS to deliver the check. When I requested proof, he simply noted that he need to prepare all the documentation to "email" it to me. The caller never addressed me by name, requested address or email address.

They called today informing my mother that she had won 1.5 million and 5,000 a month for life.It was a Megamillions lottery ticket that was unclaimed.They then requested we go to Kroger to send them 199.00 dollars for a claim ticket.They claim they were recoreded by the Federal trad commision. I am under the impression that a lottery will not ask for money.They claimed we would get said money back.They also claimed they could send someone to our home after we give them money.They claim they have someone that will go with you to the bank.

David Moore called me saying I had won 5.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes. I told him I would not pay any up front money to collect the prize. He called back and said he found a sponsor who would provide 418,000.00 for the registration fee. He asked me to open a new savings account so they could transfer the $18,000.00 to my new account. I also told him that I had not bought a Megamillions lottery ticket. He said the was bought for me by Walmart pharmacy as part of a promotion. For some reason the registration is necessary before they can deliver the prize in person somewhat like Publishers Clearing House does. He also mentioned the IRS needing the registration to ensure that taxes would be paid.
