claimed to be from Publishers clearing house...we won a prize but had to go purchase a government relief card at dollar general in order to receive the money.  was very difficult to understand....asked them to resend the paperwork and they refused stating they had already sent it.  upon still having trouble understanding the person with their accent asked to speak to someone different..  given a  phone number to call back with a ext.  upon calling that number the person would not transfer that call to that ext and then proceeded to be very ignorant about things....saying  I sounded poor...do not call his company back....stupid of him since he does not know who he called....

I just received the same call, something needs to be done about all these calls.

This is just a forum site.   You have to protect yourself.  Your best bet would be to invest in a call blocker and not pick up on phone calls you do not recognize.
