I have received three phone calls recently from Publishers Clearing House. Three different voice. Today it was a lady. Last Friday they told me I won $7 million. Today they told me I won $18 million. Send me $5000 a month. They would come to my house from Mansfield OH and deliver the check. He wanted $400. I said I am not giving you $400 or anything else. I should not have to pay for a prize. The call got quiet . I hung up. We did not get to the point how they wanted the money. Today they called from 607-400-487. They also called from 919-404-7285. Last Friday they called from 914-833-6672.

He said his name was Michael Anderson and that he worked for Publisher’s Clearing House. He said we had just won 2.5 Million dollars and a 2023 Mercedes Benz automobile. When I checked your Website I immediately noticed a report of a scam that matched the issue I was calling about, even including almost every detail, even the name of the caller and the scam details.

I was told I won a car & 7,000,000. I didn't believe the caller because he had a foreign accent so strong I barely understood him. I did not give him a chance to ask for anything. I just told him to deliver the car and check ASAP & hung up. I called the number back & no one would answer & I never received the car or the check.

Told me I won $750,000, $7500 a week for life and a new pearl white Chevy Tahoe. Told me to go to Dollar General and put $50 on a MoneyPak card while they stay on the line. Dollar Genral gave me the card and I didn't load any money on it. I gave them the scratch-off number, put on hold. They wanted my street address and I wouldn't give it to them. Started cussing at me. Then a manger called and said he'll be at my house in 30 minutes for my prize. His number (717) 546-4385, Middletown, PA.

I received a call a couple of days ago from Publishers Clearing House. I have called ScamPulse.com before about this. Caller gave me phone number 680-888-6396. The same number was in my caller ID. He said I won $2.5 million and a new Mercedes Benz. He gave a prize number to give when I call. He wanted me to call on August 18th. Prize number 8823132. He gave his name. Mr. Todd Sloane. I did not call him back. I think it's strange when I get a call with a 680 exchange.

Walk-in BBB. Consumer is getting harassing phone calls and text messages from Mr. Rosenburg at "Publisher's Clearing House". The telephone number they were calling from is 981-358-0014. They stated he won 15 million dollars and a new car of choice. Consumer received telephone call from the scammer at the ScamPulse.com office. Consumer showed the ScamPulse.com text messages with images outside his home, a table full of money, and an image of a USPS truck that will be deliver his winning(s). Consumer did not fall prey this time, but unfortunately fell victim earlier this year. At that time, he was contacted by phone stating he won. Consumer was instructed to purchase Net Spend gift cards and read the information to the scammer. Consumer took out a $12,000 loan and paid $8,000 in gift cards to said scammer. Consumer realized it was a scam and reported it to his bank. Consumer learned from previous scam and will be filing a police report after leaving ScamPulse.com office. He was also instructed to report it to the Ohio Attorney General's Office, Federal Trade Commission and to contact his cell phone company to block the multiple text messages and phone calls.

Received a letter in the mail stating that I had won $700,000 from Publisher's Clearing House. I needed to call the phone number: 646-340-8599 and speak with my agent David Sayers in order to claim my prize money. The letter also included a prepayment of $9,350.25 in the form of a check to help pay for "fees". The check was issued from "MBW Technologies, LLC" (which is a legitimate company) and "Univest Bank + Trust" out of Soderton, PA (which is a legitimate bank). The letter is most definitely a scam and I am sure if I deposited the check, it would bounce.

My father received call on his cell from a private number. I was with him when he got the call. My dad hung up. They called back & I answered the call. The man said we had won 9 million dollars and F 150 pickup truck. I was sure this was a scam but he was very convincing and kept me on the phone for several minutes. The 2 names he used was Sam Smith, his and associate Frank Whyte. He said for me not to use the word scam on the recorded line. I did give him my personal email address so letter could be sent. He said if we refuse the prize they would give to someone else. I also gave him my mother's name and my name. He also told me not to share this with anyone besides mom, dad & myself. He said check would have all 3 names on it but never asked for dad's name, address or anything else. He said he came from New York and was in Charleston, WV and would be in a meeting to request the letter and would call back in 30 minutes. I did call a very close friend and she looked up scams and said PCH would not call but show up with the prize patrol. I did receive email and looked at it but wanted to report this because my parents are elderly and this should not happen to anyone. In about 30 minutes they called back but i did not answer the phone. They called several times but did not answer any of them and finally turned the phone off.
