    Yeah, told me that he was from Publishers Clearing House and I won a million dollars. Wanted to know if I wanted it.

    Told him as I heard the motorcycles behind him F@ck Yeah. Send it my way.

    He wanted me to pay fees and taxes of $1200. Told him to take it out of the winnings.

    We lose connection. I call back thinking it will be a disconnected number. I get his voicemail where he says his name. I call back again determined to have loads of fun with this.

    He cannot verify my address or name but says the prize patrol van is enroute.

    I tell him that is great but find someone else to try to scam and many words followed.

    So....who wants his name and number to harass the ever living bajesus out of him?

    Why not just tell him 'sure where do I send the money?' Then report it to the police.

    If he really ticked you off find an internet-based machine to do it for you.

    But personally I would just ignore it. What's the point?

    As mentioned I would just report it to the police and call it a day.

    Contact your local police with his number and they will take care of it.
