Warning: New scam circulating

Facebook Friend Shirley Thagard of Hayden Lake warns of the latest scam going around:

"New Scam going around. Helped my friend who was a target. You get a call from Publishers Clearing house from someone with a Middle Eastern accent. Tell you you re the winner of $3M and a 2016 Mercedes plus $5000 a week for 5 years. Tells you you won last year and you didn't respond so it is turned over to the FBI the US Treasury. They can deliver right away but because you ignored the previous notices, there were costs incurred. Be careful!"
