PCH 3 Minute Scam

Mark Young from Publisher's Clearance House receives a call from Marty Bird, who wants to claim his prize. Marty provides his name, address, and verifies his status as a winner. Mark informs Marty that he has won $5.5 million and asks if Marty received any notification letters, which he did not. Mark explains that Marty needs to claim his prize for it to be delivered and asks if he wants the delivery to be publicized or private. Marty chooses private and confidential. Mark gives Marty a package code number and arranges for an agent to contact him the next day with more details about the prize delivery. They agree on a specific time for the agent to reach out. The call ends. Hello, Publisher's Clearance House. Mark Young speaking. How may I help and assist you? Hey, I was just wondering if I could claim my prize. Is it true that I'm a winner? Okay, what's your name? Marty Bird. Marty Bird? Yeah, M-A-R-T-Y-B-Y-R-D. And your address? It's 269 Chestnut Street, Irondale, Alabama. Okay.
