Crusty old curmudgeon
| I got the same call. What amazed me was that it was a real person that called. When I told him that I didn't put my name in to PCH he told me that someone did. I said "cool, so what name do you have?" and he said that is some of the info we need from you to receive the money. Ha, and some people actually fall for that BS!! Jim

Objectively Reasonable
| Ask them to send you $50 bucks, being as you're dead broke and need to Uber yourself to the bank to make the wire arrangements. Oh, it's OK... they can deduct the fifty from your jackpot payout. |

| I got an e-mail a while back saying I had won $12 million in a random internet lottery. All I had to do was send $1250.00 as a processing fee. This was before Christmas last year. I decided to have some fun. I e-mailed back that I had been laid off and my wife has a terminal illness, so it would take some time to raise the money. They e-mailed me back that they would wait. Two days later I e-mailed them back and told them I had returned all of my kids Christmas presents to help raise the money. But I was still short. I asked if they could wait a little longer. They said yes. Next I told them I had sold all of my living room furniture to raise more money and we were sitting on lawn chairs, but I was still short. They said they would wait "a little longer" but I needed to hurry. So I told them I was stopping my wife's pain medication to save money there. They e-mailed me back that "God will provide" and since my wife was terminal, they would wait a little longer. I thanked them and said my wife was in a lot of pain, so when they get the money, please process the check quickly. I next said I was about $50 short. I asked if I could just send $1200.00, and they could deduct the $50 from the 12 million. So they e-mailed me back that since my wife was terminal, they would "make an exception" and I should send the $1200.00. I said I would send a check the next day. So two days later I sent an e-mail saying I must be the luckiest man alive. I said I got another e-mail saying I had won another internet lottery for $20 million. That processing fee was only $500, so I told them I sent the money to them instead. I thanked them for their time and said I didn't need their $12 million. They sent me a three word e-mail, all in CAPS - FUCK YOU ASSHOLE.
I'm retired and have the time, so it was fun to mess with them. |

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

Hop head
| sent a call to voice mail the other day (Was on the line with a customer) said VM told me they (Bank of America) was waiting on me to return the call so I could get my transfer of $89,000 I knew it was a scam but I called anyway, a human answered, 'bank of america' I replied I was returning a phone call that seemed like a scam, and got hung up on, I realized afterwards I had a perfect opportunity to drag them out a bit and wasted it, but I had better things to do
