Got phonecall at work. Said due to my shopping at various stores I won a prize that included $1000.00 shopping spree, and later added a vacation for family, named vacation choices quickly to include Cancun, Hawaii, etc.
Man who said his name was Berk Lee with Unified Services said I would receive a package with prizes via UPS. Prize was free but I was to make out check for $1.95 for UPS delivery charge. Asked me to get checkbook so he could instruct me how to write check. I told him I was not going to give check account or bank routing numbers over the phone to someone I did not know. He repeated the offer as if I would be foolish to pass it up, and said I would not give the info to him but to the verification department, but that he had to have me fill out the check before he could transfer me.
I said to go ahead and transfer me to the verification department, but he repeated everything.I began asking for his phone number and to speak to his supervisor, but he hung up.
I am eager to do what I can to help apprehend/punish these criminals.
