I received a phone call from John McCarty with Publishers Clearing House. He had a very heavy foreign accent and told me I had won a new car and some money but needed to send $305 by Western Union to Chicago in order to collect my prize.

said that he was PCH and that my mom was in a 10,000 entry and won the grand prize of 5million and a mercedez benz but after 1 hour on the phone he prceeds to try to get 299.00 then I hung up on him then he keep on calling to proceeded to ask how much can I give at give I keep telling him we broke.. then he proceeds to say he feels for us and would like to help by my mom only paying 150.00 so he keeps on calling....his name is john Benjamin and his badge#is fbfb113366....also the conformation check#is 232373 was suppose to be on the check my mom was supposed to get...he said they were out of new Orleans...my mom cell number is ***...her cell phone is under her daughter in law *** ***.......my moms home #is ***.....I didn't get far enough I guess for them to ask her ss# are bank account #......

I received a text message from PCH saying that I was a grand prize winner of $3 million dollars. I asked where my balloons and bubbles and big check. He said it is 100% legit. I knew it was a scam.

The lady said her name was Mary Jones and I had won the Mega Millions Sweepstakes and a Mercedes. She told me the ScamPulse.com and the government gave her my information and phone number. They wanted me to go to Walmart and CVS and pay the taxes so they could deliver my car and money.

A person calling himself Donald Taylor called on a business phone line. He said that he was calling from PCH and that I had won 2.5 million and a new Mercedes! He gave me his phone number. He also gave me a prize number (EK69491582300US) and a winner's package number(PC18669975997) and had me repeat these numbers to him. He also gave me the name of a UPS driver (James Washington) whom he would connect me with later in the conversation. He asked me if I wanted confidential delivery or non confidential delivery of the prize. The he said he had some questions to ask me, the first of which was "Are you a U.S. citizen". I was interrupted (as this is a business) and he eventually hung up. So, I never heard what I had to do to claim these fabulous prizes. I called the number and it rolled over to voice message, but was for the person who had called. He seemed to speak with an accent, but I couldn't make out exactly where from. He sounded very legit if it hadn't been to good to be true.

I got a call from Publishers Clearing House saying I had won 1.5 million dollars and I needed to go to Western Union and wire $585 to Lowell, Ma. I told the man I was going to pass on the win and he got really irritated and said that I could just wire $200 then. I said no thank you and called the BBB.

I got a call on Saturday at 1:00 saying I had won 6.5 million and a 2016 Mercedes and they gave me a package number and ticket number and told me I need to go to United and they would give me instructions on how to send them $485. He said he was a deacon at his church and his name was John Peters. I hung up and called the BBB.
