The
Clarkstown Police Department has issued a new scam alert, and they hate to say it but, no, you didn't win a bunch of
money from Publisher's Clearing House...sorry.
Officials
say someone is calling the elderly and vulnerable, telling them they won a multimillion-dollar
Publisher's Clearing House prize.
Then, the
caller says you only have a few days to claim your winnings and you need to
send cash in the mail to "pay for taxes and processing fees."
Police say
don’t fall for it!
The say
Publisher's Clearing House says it's aware of the scam and wants you to know it
only contacts winners directly and in person.
