PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The FBI is warning about a new scam that says the receiver has won $75,000 for shopping at certain stores.
Marry Pegg found a letter in her Brighton Heights mailbox that said she won the “North American Consumer Promotion Draw” worth $75,000.
The letter said the prize was backed by Walmart, Sears, Home Depot and other stores.
She thought it was a scam, and Bob Jones — an FBI special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh office — said Pegg’s skepticism was well-founded.
