Telephone Scam Alert

FM92 was contacted by listener who received a telephone scam.  The call indicated the listener had won 2.5 million dollars in Mega Millions and all she needed to do was to purchase a Wal Mart Gift Card in the amount of $350.  The gift card was to supposedly pay IRS taxes.  The caller further stated they would stop by the listener’s home and pick her up and take her to the bank of her choice at 5:30pm and would bring a cashier’s check with them.

This is a scam.  If you receive one of these telephone calls, disregard it. More than one person in our area has received one of these telephone calls.
