2nd place PowerBall promo .

I recieved a call from a hidden nunber. I've been on the phone all afternoon, the caller had a northern accent. Introduced himself as James Miller from Publishers Clearing House, said I was the 2nd place winner of a Powerball promotional drawing of some sort. Along side of a Whire 2023 GMC Sierra . All the questions , were mostly about the delivery preferences of the money. 3.5 million dollars. But then. I needed to go to the nearest store and purchase a 500$ Vanilla gift card a visa .. to send the money for handling and registering.. then. Ups and their prize patrol team was supposed to be in route.to arrive in 45 min. Until there was a hold up. By the FTC. (FEDERAL TAX COMMISION). They need 2000 more. To deliver. They said they took into consideration that the inconvenience was not my fault to have to pay. So. They would meet me half way on it and pay 1000$. And requested i pay the remaining 1000$. Other wise they can't deliver the prize, supposed to keep it a secret so everyone around me will be surprised. But. I had to be honest and tell my son In law. .because I had to borrow the money from him. And now I'm the dummy that's responsible to pay that money back! I'm on disability. And about to end up homeless. Living at the mercy of my daughter's husbands money. Jeez! I'm so mad. What can I do now

I received an e-mail in June of 2021 telling me I had won a large sum of money there was still 9,000 due to claim it so I did not respond. Then I started receiving phone calls from My Miller telling me I had won 7.5 million and a Mercedes Then the need for so many dollars was needed to pay taxes etc. I started borrowing sums of money and buying gift cards or sending large amounts of money to a Kenneth Langsford in PA I have did this for over a year . He would call me every day sometimes several times and in the evening and it ws like we became friends. When I could not pay he would say it would need to be sent to a charity. and I would borrow again. I have borrowed over 20,000 which was totally trupid on me. My family found out and are totally upset with me. I have finally told him to give it to a charity and now am left paying ff loans. I wonder who many people were or are doing the same thing I did.

Type of a scam: Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

on 7/27/17, Mr. James Miller representing himself as a New York employee of Publisher's Clearing House, Badge # 1122 called from 867 783 4602; informing of a sweepstakes prize won on ticket # 608US8, Claim # 542 364; Policy 1628; Individual was instructed to send $500 to start claim procedure to Shanee McPherson in New York; Phone # 800 926 9400 via MoneyGram from Walmart in Bonham tx. Ref. # 631 727 46; Mr. Miller called numerous times to see if funds were sent, and when individual told him he didn't have a credit card, he was instructed to call Capital One at 888 201 4523 or Discovery 800 374 2683 and get a credit card so he could send an additional $1100 to "pay the taxes" on his prize money. Individual told him he couldn't get approved for a card, so Mr. Miller claimed as a favor to him, he would "loan" him the money by wire through Western Union in Bonham if he would immediately turn around and send those funds back to him so he could begin the processing of his claim. Instructions as to where to return the $1100 would be provided along with the "loaned" funds. Individual was also told that Nancy Wilson, an attorney from Dallas would be in contact with him with regard to the prize to be awarded to him ($10,000 per month for the rest of his life).

Ms. Wilson has not been in contact, and the phone number given by Mr. Miller 867 783 4692, has a Jamaica area code, not New York as the Individual was told, and Mr. James Miller has not sent him the $1100 "loan" money.

876 is the area code not 867
