The guy told us that we had won $350,00 and a new Mercedes Benz and that we had to go to the local Western Union to pick up a claims receipt so that when they came to our house to deliver our "prizes" from Publisher's Clearinghouse all we would have to do was turn over said receipt in order to get our winnings. The call was intended for my mother-in-law who would be 76 had she not passed away a few months ago. But, of course, he said that my husband and I could receive her winnings. When I told him it sounded like a scam he abruptly ended the call.
