this person said he was from the Publisher's Clearing House and my phone number was selected in a random drawing. Told me I won $2.5 million dollars and a GMC truck. Then said I would need to get a One Vanilla Visa Card and put $500.00 on it or a green dot money back scratch card at a local store. I kept saying I think is a scam. He kept telling me it's not. Well, I didn't have 500 dollars to get that card and you can't buy a Visa card with a credit card. So, I ended up having to buy (5) $100 Amazon cards with a credit card.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House. They told me I won $10.5 million and a new Mercedes Benz. They sent me a picture of the money in a suit case and a picture of the car. They told me I would need to pay $500 in advance. I told him I wouldn't have any money until the 1st and he told me to call back.

My wife was contacted by a "Mr. John Winters" who stated that she had won money and prizes from Publishers Clearing House from a February 25th 2024 drawing. She probably hadn't entered any drawings for at least six months or more. After talking to her, providing justification for his call including federal references and stating that they would take care of taxes. In the email we were advised that, in underlined text, and I quote, "Due to a mix-up of some numbers and names, you are advised to keep your winning details strictly to yourself and not share them with any individual or firm until your claim has been processed and your money remitted to you.". He followed up with an email that looked authentic; giving a "Winning Notification" letterhead, a lot of numbers, some "confirmation numbers" and a phone number to call (585-568-4552) which googled back to a property management company in Rochester, NY. The email was "signed" by William Sanderson, Director, Publishers Clearing House with a picture. When we returned the call the person who answered was evasive about who he was and who he represented wanting us to fill in the blanks. He seemed to have a subtle eastern European, possibly Russian accent. When we provided the initial contact information and I (skeptical husband) confronted him he asked to speak to my wife and inferred that my skeptic attitude was "disrespectable toward her" and drive a wedge between us. He then started "talking in circles" trying to justify his evasiveness. As much as she was excited about the "win" she eventually came to the same conclusion I had initially... scam. She told him "that money was the root of all evil and we declined". He hung up when she confronted him with this..

I got a call from Robert Morgan in the unclaimed department of American Cash Awards PCH. He said I won $5.5 million dollars, $7000 for life. He said I had also won $125,000 voucher for the vehicle of my choice. He said I could pick it up, and a TV crew would be here. His phone numbers are 409-210-5396 and 754-900-6180. He asked if I lived alone or was married. He asked what I would do with the money. He had an accent. He said I would have to go to Walmart and buy a $250 Amazon card to pay the document fee. I could hear a dog barking in the background. He called me about 6 months ago too.

I received a call from Jack Rosenberg who told me I had won $2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz, color of my choice. If I didn't want the car, I could get a separate check for $130,000. I've been talking to him for over a month. This morning he called from 775-546-2087. He says he's in Cleveland and will deliver the cash to me in a couple of hours if I pay him $1100 for the IRS to release the package. He says he doesn't have a credit card because PCH is paying for his room in Cleveland. He's asking for a check written out to Sean Phillips, then take a picture and send it to his phone. He says he is trusting in the Lord that I will do this. He says he lives on 8100 Military Rd, Amelia, VA. He has an accent, but I can't identify it, not American. He told me I could call the Better Business Bureau in Washington DC at 202-900-9274 to ask if he is good.

Caller stated I had won $2,800,000 and $7,000 weekly and a Mercedes Benz automobile. The paperwork they sent me had some glaring errors on it. It had a copy of a check from Bank of America with routing and account numbers on it. It also asked for me to advance $20,000 to circumvent the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. Along with that there were other obvious typographical errors in the paperwork they sent. One was using a % instead of a $ sign. Calling 10,000,000,000 as ten million.

Received a call from Jordan Fisher who said he was with Publishers Clearing House on 2/6/2024. He called from 1-516-914-1047. He asked if I had read my notification letters from Publishers Clearing House recently. I told him I had not. He kept telling me that this call was not for solicitation purposes. He stated that I had won an award from the Publisher’s Clearing House and proceeded to tell me what I had won: a blue certified check made payable to me in the amount of $958,000, $5,000 a week until I died from the Visa Department and a 2024 Cherry Red Ford Bronco with black interior. (There were 3 choices of exterior and interior colors to choose from: exterior was Cherry Red, Midnight Blue or Black. Interior was Tan, Beige or Black). He gave me his ID number (5602JF); the JF is for Jordan Fisher. He spelled his last name for me. He asked me to write down all the information he was giving me. He told me that a team from Point Pleasant WV would be bringing my winnings. He asked me to write down the address for Publishers Clearing House in New York. The address he gave me was: 101 Winner Circle, Jericho, NY 11752. He asked if anyone was home to share the surprise with; I told him my husband was almost home. He asked me to not say anything to my husband until the team showed up. He also asked me my age. He called me by my previous last name. I told him that I had remarried but he did not ask what my new name was. He said they understood that that happens. He did give my mailing address to me. Then he asked how I would respond to this prize when the team showed up. I told him I was excited and wanted to jump up and down screaming and happy. He then asked if I thought this was a joke and I told him no I did not. He said I’m canceling this because you are not taking it seriously. I told him I was. He said will you go meet the delivery team. I told him that he did not give me directions on where to do that. He disconnected the call. I tried calling the number back. That same voice answered via an answering machine. It stated good day Stanley Jones. If you’re calling leave a message.

I received a voice mail last week stating they were the Publishers Clearing House and I won $7,000 a week. When I returned the phone call asking for the claim department, they transferred me to another gentleman that I couldn't understand and they wanted me to open up a new bank account at my current bank so they could transfer the money to the account. The also wanted me to go to Dollar General and purchase 2 green cards at $800 a piece. He hung because I told him I didn't have that kind of money.

Scammer wrote me a a signed letter by Deborah Holland, Executive Vice President of Publisher's Clearing House:. That letter stated that I won $750,000.. The scammers also included a check issued to me for $7,900.25 to (cover the taxes, handling and processing fees of the amount won. The letter explained that this was confidential and that I needed to cal lMr. Jerry Price for the method of payment at one of these numbers: 1-718-696-7762 or 1-516-600-0056. The letter stated that because this was from an Internatonal Prmotions/Prize Award Dept., I would need to pay my international Sweepstakes by law: taxes, handling and processing fees.

When I called the real Publishers Clearing House, they replied that the check that I received and the information was a scam.
