Who doesn’t like winning money? Of course, if you were to get a random call informing you that you’ve won $50,000, you’re probably going to stop and think “Wait, What?” The OP got this exact call from a scammer who also told them that in order to get the money, they will need to send $1,000 first.
Obviously, the OP got suspicious and came up with a brilliant response. They told the scammer that they could just take the $1,000 from the wins and send the remaining $49,000. Needless to say, the line suddenly went dead. That’s how you play the game.
