The caller is then requested to send money to claim the prize. Seniors have experienced significant financial losses as a result. The Promise: You have won a fabulous valuable prize or an amount of cash and/or a car, but to claim the prize you must pay taxes, delivery charges, or legal fees.
INFORMATION TO CONSIDER - When you are a winner, you don’t have to pay any money for your prize.
