It sure sounds like a scam to me!  Beware of anyone seeking personal information on you!   :o

I will send you  the winning lottery ticket  but  it  will cost you 25 dollars.  This call  is  a BIG OLD scam.

I definitely wouldn't give them any information not knowing exactly who they are and why they are wanting the information.
Have a wonderful day!

Definitely a scam, don't give out personal information over the phone or anywhere else unless you know exactly who you are dealing with

DELETE   DELETE   DELETE    GOOD IT WAS NOT ON your email, or they would probably have a bug in it, besides getting to your bank accounts etc if you gave them any info at all.  I would take the tape and asked the police if they could do anything with it.  Ans maybe call local news channels so they can alert others that this is going on.

That's an absolute scam and if there is anyway of reporting that call to the authorities, I would strongly suggest trying.  This apparent rip off creep is most likely trying to steal your identity.

Yikes!! Even calling them back is beyond foolish. If there was any merit to the call whatsoever, they would call you back.

I'm 100% sure it's a scam and I personally wouldn't bother to even call back. But I guess if it got the better of you you could call back on the understanding that you don't give any banking or credit card details away and you don't give any personal details away about yourself other than what they already know. I also definitely wouldn't call with any telephone that I pay any bills on! But personally, it's not worth the anguish I don't think.

I got money orders in the mail once, they seemed fake. Ran them right down to the post office and reported it.

It sounds like a scam because if it is real they wouldn't ask all those questions on the voicemail. First they would keep ringing until they reached you and ask if you are the person they are looking for and would proceed to tell you who it is for and you will ask who they are and say that you would call them back and you would then call the business bureau to find out if it is legal and from that point on you would know what to do.

I agree with everyone who has already answered.  This call from Danielle is a SCAM.

Scares me to think that there are people out there making calls to random phone numbers and they might reach my parents or other elderly people who would answer every question without any concerns.

I hope there is a way for you to report that person.
