My mother received a call today. Told she won $225, 000 from a Megabox Sweepstakes. The name of the caller was "John Rogers" who claimed to be a Pastor in Pennsylvania. He was very convincing and even though she knew from the start that this was a Scam, she was still interested enough that she wanted me to call to check it out. He told her something about eventually doing something at Western Union, but I am not sure of the details he gave. He gave her the return phone number of [protected]. This area code appears to be from Jamaica. I did a Google search on the number and "Megabox"... I have found nothing. But it is obvious from the circumstances that this is not legitimate. I hope this posting helps someone else not fall for this scam.
most definitely a scam, I received multiple calls from a Kingston Jamaica #, with callers stating that I had won $1.5 million up to $3.5 million but to claim my prize I would need to buy a Vanilla Visa gift card for either $535 at first and when I questioned I could get a card for $232. Please don't fall for this scam. Why pay for a prize that you have won.
