so I recieve a call from the lottery Euro Millones (euromillions, an european lottery) saying that my phone was randomly selected to participate in a contest to get some free tickets if i rpelied correctly to a question.
I know they don't do that. You can't win a lottery without buying a ticket or without participating in a contest, but i decide to see where it goes
the girl, very nicely and with some background noise (sounded like a bunch of people talking, like an office or something like that), asks me if i know about the lottery, then asks me what the slogan is, giving me two options. I answer the wrong one, and she goes
"ok, one moment *pause* yes, congratulations, it's correct and you just won -I think she said 99 tickets-. I'll exlain how this works. May I have your name?"
I hanged up inmediately. I honestly could have tried to play along and troll them a bit, but i didn't feel like it at the moment. I googled a bit after that and saw that this scam's been going on for a few years.

I get that alot when people claimed to be either Time Warner, (but they didnt know that Time Warner turned into Spectrum) and Microsoft and they want me to check my computer...i was like why scammers want me to check my computer if they are from Microsoft...so i just hanged up on them. also i can hear people in the background as well. plus the voice is sound middle east accents.
