He claimed at one point to be from PrUblishers Clearing House and when asked about later denied it and gave a flimsy explaination about being one of the off shoot sweepstakes from PCH. Scam? I thinks so! I wasn't going to risk $599.00 and then get stuck with 2.5 million that wasn't really there.

(b) Kickbacks;
(c) Backdating of executive stock options;
(d) Misuse of corporate property for personal gain; and,
(e) Individual tax violations related to self-dealing.
(3) Obstruction of justice designed to conceal any of the above-noted types of criminal conduct, particularly when the obstruction impedes the inquiries of the SEC, other regulatory agencies, and/or law enforcement agencies.
