From The Mountaineer:
The scenario goes something like this: Victims are called and told they won money, a new car or another prize through Publisher’s Clearinghouse or similar sweepstakes. The victims are instructed to send either cash or pre-paid debit cards from CVS or WalMart to a specific address, often an address in New York.
