Hingham Police report a local resident was convinced by a caller that he'd just won the sweepstakes and all he had to do was provide his Social Security number, his date of birth and his Mass. driver's-license number. Police say he did not win the sweepstakes, but he now has to watch out for identity fraud.

Oh yes he did!

Wrong-uh
Ed McMahon represented American Family Sweepstakes, not PCH.
When the phone call starts with
"Hi, I'm Ed McMahon", that should be a HUGE clue it's phony.
High-yo!!
Heinous
People who attempt to take advantage of seniors like this are despicable. Heinous. How do they get this way?
