Expert Opinion
Winning an $18 million prize sounds exciting, but the call quickly asks for money. The pattern matches a classic prize‑scam where the caller claims you’ve earned a windfall and then demands a payment to release it. Never provide personal or financial details, and avoid sending funds for “processing” fees. Verify the source independently—legitimate lotteries never ask winners to pay upfront. If the call feels pushy or threatens loss of the prize, hang up and block the number. Report the incident to the FTC and your phone carrier to help stop future scams.
