ANOTHER WAY TO SEPARATE YOU FROM YOUR MONEY. THE NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE SAYS THERE’S A SCAM GOING AROUND IN WHICH YOU’RE CALLED AND TOLD YOU’VE WON A “MAKE-A-WISH” FOUNDATION SWEEPSTAKES. BUT TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE YOU HAVE TO SEND CASH, UP TO 35-HUNDRED DOLLARS.
A-G SPOKESMAN JAMES HALLINAN SAYS THERE ONE CONFIRMED VICTIM SO FAR. THE A-G’S OFFICE IS WORKING WITH THAT PERSON BUT HALLINAN SAYS THERE’S ALWAYS DIFFICULTY WHEN MONEY GOES OFF-SHORE.
HALLINAN SAYS THE “MAKE A WISH” FOUNDATION DOES NOT HOLD ANY SWEEPSTAKES OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY TELEMARKETING CAMPAIGNS. YOU’RE ASKED TO CALL THE A-G’S OFFICE IF YOU’VE BEEN THE TARGET OF A SCAM.
