Got a call this afternoon from a gentleman claiming to be from Publisher’s Clearing House. I was the weekly winner of 11.5 million and a 2019 C Class Mercedes. Immediately I could hear street noise in the background like he was on a cell phone. He couldn’t believe I wasn’t jumping for joy and didn’t sound excited like I should. I decided to screw with him a little and first asked why didn’t I get a 2021 Mercedes. I think he realized his mistake but recovered saying if I checked the collectors market I would see it was worth more than the new ones. He went on and on about PCH was even going to pay all my taxes! I told him to go ahead and send Steve Harvey on out! He had no clue what I was talking about. When I told him finally I didn’t believe him he said that if I didn’t want to go forward, the money would go to charity. I kept asking what was it going to cost me to get my money Because I knew it was coming. He kept saying nothing. Then after I had drug him around for about 15 minutes I was asked how close was I to a Walgreens. He was going to send me a pre winners package to my local Walgreeno and all I had to do was pick it up by 700 tonight. Then the bomb dropped finally. The normal deposit to claim their prize was $3800 but since I was a double winner, all I had to do was go to Walgreens and buy an EBay gift card for $380. 10%!!!. I told the dumb guy that was no problem and I would head over to Walgreens right then, get the card and call him back the number. Initially he gave me a claim number and had me read it back to him twice. Both times I switched the numbers. Finally got tired of messing with him and told him I had changed my mind, go ahead and give to charity that I had plenty of money. I will listen initially Because in the late 90’s there was a search engine called iwon.com. Every time you used them instead of Google or other places you got entered into a $10k weekly drawing. I did win one of those. Hung up on the lady 4 times before I listened and she was legit. Guy today was a joke. He did sound American, but amazingly his phone was out of order as soon as we hung up.

Maybe retract your "contribution", keep the money and give your guns to the CFF "Charity" Just a thought, but this way we can ALL feel better about your generosity.
