I was deceived into believing I had won $12 million.
Did the Federal Reserve Really Call You?
Summary — +12028495101
Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a call that you’ve won twelve million dollars and the only catch is an urgent payment. That script is a classic high‑stakes scam, and the repeated references to the Federal Reserve are a red flag—no government agency hands out prizes that way. If you receive such a call, hang up, block the number, and never share personal or financial details. Report the incident to the FTC and your phone carrier. Keep a log of call times and any voicemail, then delete any follow‑up emails without opening attachments. Staying skeptical and verifying through official channels can save you from costly fraud.
