The public is being advised to hang up on these calls and remember to never give authorization of your private information to unknown sources.

If is sounds too good to be true, then it is.  Also apply these tips –  Never send money to someone who calls you; Enter your number on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY; Tell the caller you will be reporting their number to the Federal Trade Commission; Ask the caller how you could’ve won something when you’ve never entered an international lottery.
