The first attachment I received from Micheal Taylor. He said I won $20 million in June of 2020 but because of Covid I never received it. If you call his number he has the PCH jingle. He said he was going to pay my rent and a loan I had. The checks bounced. The second attachment was his boss David Martin 313-395-6056 he called because Micheal wrote the bounced checks and he was investigating it. The got me for $500. 3 bounced checks $50. each and a late payment of $100 for my apartment. 2 bounced checks at one main financial and tried to get a loan in my name. I’m not sure how they knew about one main financial the said they paid it when they called me first.My name is Deborah Jewell

I get several calls during the weeks informing me that I have won the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes. Including the one today ( 6/15/22) of $130,000. And to call back to claim my winnings. And then they ask for a shipping & handling fee to process it.

Received a call frrom a # that said no Caller ID. He said his name was David Brooks and he was with Publishers Clearing House. I had won $7,000 a week for life and a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. I could not talk with him at the time because I was not home and had no pen and paper to write with. He offered to call me back, but instead I asked if I could call him instead. He gave me his name and telephone # and said it was a government issued phone. Well we talked on Sunday afternoon (I was at the beach) and he gave me some specifics and said that he would call me back on Monday to set up arrangements for my delivery. He calls me back and tells me I need to go to Walgreens, CVS, etc. to get a scratch off money card of some sort. So I keep him on the phone as I drive to Walgreens and when I get there I proceed to tell him I am there and he stated that I needed to go inside and put $325 on this card so they can register the vehicle. I told him I did not have $325 to put on the card(I wasn't feeling to hopeful at the time). He proceeded to say that maybe I could borrow the money from a friend and so forth. I told him that I was going to visit the local sheriffs office and talk with them about this (but instead I went into Walgreens and asked them about this card) He was still on the line with his manager (he said) and I loudly asked the girl standing behind the counter about this so called card and she said that this was a scam! I knew, but I wanted to see how far he was going with this. Just wanted to make other people aware that these type of calls are going around. So much for my feelings and winnings!!!

I got a phone call saying I won publishers clearing house sweepstakes prize of $2,500.000 and a new ford 4x4 pickup truck. Then I was asked to go get a pre paid card at Walmart for $587 dollars for prize insurance a secure spend card? And to insure this amount for $3500? I told him I was quadriplegic and, had now way to get to any Walmart or pretty much any store and, I did not understand why if I won this prize I needed to give money in order to get money that I had supposedly won?

There was a phone message for my wife that she needed to call agent Jose Garcia to claim the winnings from the PCH sweepstakes. He claimed he was a federal agent working with them to ensure safety of the winners. We called the number and they said my wife had won 17 million but that we needed to pay the 1% processing fee to retain the money. The more we explained we did not have that kind of money the lower the fee became. We agreed to pay $9000 and followed the instructions he gave us. As soon as we sent the money they asked for more, and that is when it became very clear to me it was not legit. We are desperately working with our bank to try and get back the money we wired.

Received a call from Shirley West at Publishers Clearing House telling me I've won 23million dollars and all I had to do was go buy a vanilla Visa card for $299.00 and then call him back with the numbers on the back of the gift card. He called at 9:30pm and then again at 6:30am. He did want an address and it was given. So the scammer has a name and address.

Mr. James Kingston calls from PCH and tells me I won 1 million plus 5,000 a week for life. He provided me with numbers to give to the prize patrol and said I have to get an Apple gift card of 500.00 (FDIC) to insure the million gets to my bank. I did not provide any information to this man.

I received a letter from Publisher's Clearing House with a check for $8758.42 I called the number on the letter to see what this was for and the man I spoke with said that I had won $750,000.00 and that this check was for the Canadian taxes that I would need to pay from the winnings. This man instructed me to go ahead and deposit the check. I was skeptical and wanted to check with the local BBB. I have uploaded the letter as well as a copy of the check.

These people are using my brother, saying he won $100,000 from Agent David Larry Young from PCH, publishers clearing house. It asks for name, mothers name, address, & phone#, age. They said I won $100.000, but I need to send them $500.00 for fees first.

My mom is currently being scared by a number from Jamaica initially along with a John Cooper. That she has won money and has been waiting on delivery

She has sent checks to a William Gross about 6 all for about 100 to 200 dollars at an address in Texas. This address is a residential address owned by a widow.

This group has 3 different people involved

The person receiving the checks who's is "high up a publisher clearing house" and female 'lawyer" trying to get her SSN to "file taxes." And Mr Cooper who is going to drop it off and clearly hated Google earth to know landmarks clear to her house

They also appear to have a number w a Colorado area code

my mother has recieved more than 6 phone calls, daily for a week, from a person claiming that she has won money and a car. He said he was from PCH. I called the number he gave her and spoke to this person claiming he was Curt Walton, nephew to Sam Walton, owner of Walmart. I asked him to give me his business license number and he said he could not do that. He then said that i could go online to www.megamillion.com . i did not. He claimed to be a part of 2 companys, lottery /sweepstakes. After the call i made to him, within 10 minutes he called back and told her that her daughter had called my mother. I did not give him my name or hers. Prior to this call i made , He was insistant that she open an a bank account at Chase or Wells Fargo bank to recieve her winnings, he also told her that she needed to pay fees to recieve that money. The scammers have an answer for every question. My mom contacted PCH, they said they were going to look into it. We are going to report it to the police dept also.

This is the second time in 2 days this scammer has called us. but telling us to reply by a different phone number both having the same prefix of 917. They stated that we had won $5 million and to call them back each time giving the same message but different return call numbers. Relating the win to a subscription to a magazine we do not have. This is what alerted us that it was a fraud. We deleted the phone message without replying.
