Someone claimed to represent Publisher's Clearing House, telling me I'd won $500,000 and that a check would be delivered to my home, but they'd require a $2,000 partial tax payment and a signed form.
Demanding Tax Fees? Scam!

Expert Opinion
Beware of unsolicited calls promising huge prizes like $500,000 from supposed sweepstakes. This setup screams scam, where fraudsters demand upfront fees for fake taxes or processing to steal your money. Never share personal details, send payments, or sign anything over the phone—legitimate prizes don't require you to pay first. Hang up immediately and report to the FTC at ftc.gov. Block the number and enable call screening on your device to avoid similar tricks. If you've engaged, monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider a credit freeze for extra protection.
