FRAUD
Holly Corner Road, 2/23, 11:15 a.m. The victim reported he received a call from someone claiming to be with Publishers Clearing House. The caller said he had won a sweepstakes prize and in order to claim the prize he would need to pay a fee. The victim purchased $2,000 worth of Gift cards and sent the card information to the caller. The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office reminds residents that if you are told to pay a fee to claim a sweepstakes or lottery prize it is likely a scam.
