My folks live on Cape Cod and about a month ago my Dad got a phone call like this saying he had won a lottery and needed to send them money so he could get his winnings. He said it was amazing how much info they had about him even noting he had a son living in TV. He rather impolitely told them to get lost and called the local police. The police told him that a few seniors in town had also recently gotten this type of call and they believed it was coming out of Jamaica.
