Additional information about this scam:

“Adam West” / “David Sayer” Confirmation Number: 4711

Winner of a 2023 S Class Mercedes Benz, $5,000 weekly for rest of life and $18,500,000 broken down in a Cashiers Check. From a list of 250,000 senior citizens, 3 winners. Claims you are 2nd place.

PART 1) “Adam” will claim you may have received a missed call from a “Debra Allen” apparently who is a BANK OF AMERICA Rep. Just say you don’t fully remember but possibly. He will ask if you are an american citizen by birth, what your martial status is, how many are in your household, who you want as beneficiary to carry out the claim and whether you want a PUBLIC Delivery (1 month on the news, radio station and TV) and your whole state knows or PRIVATE Delivery (Debra Allen, 2 US Marshalls, “Adam West” and “David Sayer” to your home address). He will also tell you the 3 car colours you can pick from are either BLUE, PEARL WHITE or YELLOW. He’ll also claim homeland security is recording the call. He’ll then ask you to hold as he “sends” those details to the IRS. He’ll tell you the delivery date is set for the following day and he will transfer your call to the “PCH - Delivery Department”, he will want to confirm your FULL home address (House Number, Street, City, State, ZIP CODE). Neither will double check the address/calling area code. He’ll tell you the delivery day is set for the following day.


PART 2) You’ll be transferred to “Manager David Sayer” of the “PCH Delivery Department”. He’ll tell you that you ALSO won 6 months of free ‘gas’ from ANY ‘gas station’ and 1 year insurance from allstate. He’ll tell you your fees are 5% = $2590.05 as the other 95% shipping/federal charges and fees have already been taken care of. He’ll also tell you this is just for security to confirm to the government you are supposedly alive and well. He’ll claim you’ll get the money back in-person on day of delivery. He’ll want you to repeat FULL NAME and spell it all out, wants your zip code repeated to double check, house number of address repeated and your car colour preference repeated. He’ll then ask if you about your employment status and what your last job was if applicable. I claimed retired, he asked me if I had a "GO-(FEEL?) Government Stamp, where apparently they’ll further reduce the fee by 20%, I said NO. He told me my confirmation number was 4711 and he’ll tell you the ways you can pay are by either CASHIER CHECK, WIRE TRANSFER (8-9 alleged days processing time), GIFTCARDS or DIRECT DEPOSIT. He’ll tell you that the CASHIER CHECK + WIRE TRANSFERS are for 1st place winners only and claim he read out the options wrong.

GIFTCARD OPTION: Vanilla or American Express - x5 $500 each + x1 $95

DIRECT DEPOSIT: Will ask you what your chosen bank is and will “check” if they support it. DOESN’T support ‘chase’ that’s for sure, supports bank of america 100% OR MNT and two other banks. They’ll claim that BOA is a bit “active” so they will ask if you can do the other banks, just pretend you can’t/never heard of the banks they say. He’ll suddenly tell you the FBI is ALSO recording the call for safety.

Unfortunately there’s anyone’s guess how many numbers they have active daily
I would guess it is between 100 - 200 at any given time
they’re very annoying and because they predominantly use TextNow numbers, they’re hard to knock them down.
On the plus side, solo act TextNow low lives are the only scammers whose time can be wasted, which cannot be said for any call centre.
Anyone who believes wasting the time of a call centre saves victims has absolutely no perception of reality and probably believe their own lies as well.
I’ve monitored hundreds of call centre phone systems and have yet to see every scammer on a call every second of every day. Only then, can wasting their time have the potential of preventing someone being scammed.
There would need to be ten thousand times the amount of us calling to even put a slight dent into them.
There are tens of thousands of call centres in operation and the number is growing by the day.

We all do what we can though :+1:
every bit helps
