Got a call from this 2025176589 number claiming to be the Federal Trade Commission saying I was committing fraud by sending money to Nigeria via western union.
Caller stated she was calling from the US Government Accounting Office in Washington DC. She identified herself as Mary Walker. She stated that I my elderly mother won 1.2 million dollars. I told her she was resting. She stated in order for them to send the check to her a check in the amount of $1,250 for delivery, I would have to be sent to them first. I told them that I would get back to them after I spoke to her. That is when she gave me her name and return phone call number which did match my caller ID.
