scam alertThis particular Lakewood resident was well aware of the scam as soon as he picked up the phone, and decided to play along. But unfortunately many have fallen prey and have even wired money to scammers – money they obviously never saw again.

  1. Never donate anything to anybody over the phone because you never know we sitting in the other line they can say anything they want and you don’t have to prove over the phone
    Save yourself the trouble and don’t donate to nobody over the phone.

  2. On any winnings you are responsible for paying tax. Not the people you win money from. Certainly you are not supposed to go to walmart to send money. If in doubt just call the company back (not with the numberr they give you).
    The accent and the focus on the money being asked for should give you the first red flag.

  3. People might go for the scam but the scammers don’t think ahead because people are very smart to question why they would go to a specific location to the make the payment or other related questions.
    I was so happy for this guy saying that he won’t pay unless if someone shows up at his house. And the last voice on the recording sounded fake.

  4. was called for famous charity and send nice check and was deposit in some private account few days received another call and advised them that i send already check , was very surprised to hear that i was fooled
    but was lucky and got my money back unfortunately have to be very careful and double check before you send check
    the same with people have you sign up for utility because the will save you money i know many people where fooled and pay more money if the would have the account by the regular company like JCPL
    would urge that the lakewood scoop should make this public very important , more important then what supermarket is coming to LAKEWOOD
