I got a call from a +55 number claiming I won a prize. Is this a scam?

The +55 country code is Brazil, but caller ID can be spoofed, so it does not establish where the caller actually is.

Legitimate prizes should not require advance payments for “taxes” processing, shipping, or customs, nor bank/card details to claim them. The FTC specifically identifies these requests as signs of prize scams.

Hang up, do not call back or share personal information, and independently verify any named company through its official website. If you already paid or disclosed financial details, contact your bank immediately.
