I'm 80 years old. I got an automated vm from a woman. She said she was happy to tell us we were selected as a winning ticket number 76621 and to call them at 855-262-9723. I called back and spoke to Tom Tucker. He said we had won $5000 a week for life. He asked to speak to my wife as well as it was for both of us. He faxed a winner's affidavit form to the UPS store in Hilliard, OH. We picked them up. We have not called him back. But he has called back twice. We called Publisher's Clearing House who said it was a scam.

I fell victim to the Publisher clearing house scam. I was called and told i won the sweepstakes of 2.5 million. I had to pay fees and taxes and then would receive my money. I sent 2 wire transfers of $3000 each and they would get it and tell me to send more. I never got my money.

Received a call from someone claiming to be with the Publisher's Clearing House. They said I had won 5million and asked if they could bring me the check. I asked questions and they said their boss was in a meeting and everyone else was calling others. They, also, said they were calling from a local office. I called the number back and it was out of service. I don't want any other senior to fall for this.

Received a text from a "friend" saying that they won money and she was also on the list, for Publisher's Clearing House. They eventually asked $1,500 cash to cover shipping and costs via CVS or Wallgreens. Once sent, the money will be there in 4 hours. She knew

A person identifying himself as Mark Merchand called me, and said I had won 2.7 million dollars and a GMC Pick Up Truck. He wanted $450.00 on a loadable credit card. He then put his “Manager”, identifying himself as Mr. Holiday on the phone, and he said in addition to those winnings, I had also won $2,000.00 a week for life. He then sent me via email pictures and information about the prizes. In the information it asked for $20,000.00. He became very pushy and almost angry, that I did not have the money to do this. My wife came home and i put her on the phone, because she said this had to be a scam. “Mr. Holiday was very pushy, and almost angry with her. She told him, I am aware that PCH never calls people, and never asks people for money. The phone number they called me from was 1-876-810-3207. Just wanted to let you know.

I received a call suppose to be PCH. They wanted a $300 dollar one vanilla card. This to win the PCH Sweepstakes. I did not do it, they must be stupid to believe that I would do it. Do not give them anything.

The first time they called I answered and they said they were calling about a package I was supposed to be receiving tomorrow. I said no. And hung up as I am not supposed to be receiving a package tomorrow. They called back immediately and I answered to tell them to stop calling. The guy on the phone yelled at me and told me that if I hung up I would not win the 800,000 from PCH. I hung up the phone.

They had him pay by check through the USPS for some, prepaid cards, and some "Walmart to Walmart", CVS, etc. John Moore called last night and was to call this morning at 10am.

This guy called on my husbands cell and said we had won $250 million a Mercedes, and $7 thousand per week for life. He was very good and spoke English. He did not ask for money up front but said someone would call us at 1:30 today to make arrangements for delivery. I called the number from our home phone and they did answer Publishers Clearing House but I hung up. They did also ask where my husband worked. He told him where he was retired from. No other personal information was given. We knew it was a scam. Then I called the ScamPulse.com here in Amarillo to report and they confirmed. Of course we have never entered these contests either.

This person called her and said that she needed to write them a check for $3000 so she could collect her prize of a Mercedes Benz and a million dollars. She was going to send them check for $1500.The car was going to be driven from Springfield Mo to her house. They did not want her to tell anyone about her business or wanted anyone to be there when they dropped of the car. she was told to get $300 in gift cards and send that money to them. She gave them the credit cards numbers over the phone. She was going to send a check to these people in Ohio which they were not going to cash. She was to send the check by Federal express.
