Just wanted to alert some of you with older family or friends that enter the Publishers clearing House sweepstakes , they are selling private info such as email and phone numbers to known terrorists.
My friend and neighbor asked me to come over to read something joyful she wanted to celebrate , when I saw this I hit the frigging roof, it was a letter from PCH that said she won 1.5 million and a brand new Rolls Royce they even had her pick out the color , only deal was she had to pay the taxes and so forth to get this.
It was about 5 minutes into this conversation that the phone rang as she was to make her final 7500.00 payment and I asked her to let me talk to them , well they had thick middle eastern accents and got really upset as I asked question after question knowing this was a scam of the highest form , praying on the elderly.
I told these folks they would not be getting another cent from my friend and we promptly went to her bank first who then in turn called the FBI and Homeland security, these bastards have cleaned thousands of folks out of their life savings and are using the money to grow their terrorist activities.
So will my friend get her money back , No !!
Please check on you friends if you see large amounts of money going out or they start getting depressed , my friend was almost suicidal as she thinks she may have helped them kill innocent people with her money.
They will ask for you to send the money on green dot cards at 500.00 a pop and or give you the name of a local bank and account to deposit the money in and then call them and guess what the money is gone , it is usually an account that has been hacked according to the FBI.
Thanks for reading and Please Please beware as these scams are running wild in the US !
