Did a $8 Million Prize Call Scam You?

Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in grandma’s clothing, that midnight call tries to dress up a scam as a dream prize. The language—exact payout amount, urgent delivery time, and a request to verify via email—matches classic advance‑fee schemes. Even though the caller used a known brand name, legitimate winners are never asked to forward money or personal info before receiving a check. Hang up, block the number, and report the incident to the FTC and your state attorney general. Never share banking details, and verify any prize by contacting the official organization through their verified website or phone line.
