Got a call 9/27/18 12:30pm from David Baker asking if I will be home in the next 45 minutes to receive certified mail. Also I was told to write down a phone number and name of the manager who will be verifying my win from PCH (Mark Anderson (876) 860-3651. After hanging up I tried to look up the information but kept getting calls from the unknown number, when I picked up on the third call he asked me if I had called Mark already. I told him no, I wanted to verify that this was legitimate and not a scam. That's when he hung up. I guess I wont be receiving my giant check.

This company called and said I had won the Publishers Clearing House, and informed me I had won $500,000.00 and that a certified check would be sent this Thursday and once I deposited the money into my account I would need to send them $65,000.00 for the taxes. I did not agree to anything nor did I share any personal information with them, this is a scam.

A man named John Martez called and told me I won 2.5 Million dollars and a 2018 Mercedes Benz, He said he was with PCH he gave me his badge # 087825 and my claim number. He said the PCH patrol was in Dayton Ohio and would be at my home within 2 hours, but first I had to go to Walmart to register that I was a winner before they could give me my prize and that would cost me $780. I told him I wasn't going to pay any money for something that I have won and he said everyone who won a large amount of money had to register. I told him I would check into that information and he gave me a number to call him back, 716-300-1554, when I called back he wasn't available. I knew it was a scam as soon as he said I had to pay money, *** ***

received a call from the above #, telling me that I was a winner of PCH contest, which I did enter& she did ask if I had entered other times or how manytimes, I told I had maybe many years ago& hadent untilthis time telling me to sit down as she said the amount of the chech that I would be receiving was $5000,000. I don't know what their end-game was, we talked a bit.she was very sincere, no questions for any numbers of any accounts or SS #., she qualified that by saying, nothing will be asked for personal type of info., I think to sound more legit & put me at ease, talked a bit I was elated to say the least, in that bit I did mentioned how ever how this was amazing how it would help, as I was on a fixed income & this was truly needed, When she mentioned she was going to transfer me to a finance lawyer & again " no questons for banking account numbers for savings & checking, I said ok, "no savings only checking". I just remembered she did ask if I owned my home , I do, or was it in trust for my sons, "no". Also a special Courier would be bringing the check on Monday between 8 & 11 in the am, " would I be home? & i repled Yes, no propblem. I think I did mention I live inan Audlt Community I was tranferred to another female(lawyer) we did speak briefly ,hello - intros, don't recall any names. Next thing we got disconnected, I was upset, because wanted to continue & hear what she was going to say about financial matters, taxes, trust so on. Well that was it , I did call my son & he said " don't believe it!" Well I 1 was ELATED TO THINK I WON THIS MUCH MONEY, Then I was so dejected & down it was like I LOST IT( MONEY) I WAS RICH & NOW I'm back to being not so rich, & then I was ANGRY that they play with me like a trick ! Later I called the phone # from the caller I D, "number not a working number" some time. I did call Publishing Clearing House, & they told me they DO NOT notify winners by phone. Also called the phone company, they couldn't confirm that a number with the last four digits being zeros is a true nnumber, maybe a robo calling system.

Well bottom line, I don't know what their purpose was, then I was concerned tha they new I would be home alone on Monday, but I do live in a gated community,theywouldn't be allowed in without seucrity calling me first.

PS - NO ONE CALLED ME BACK THAT DAY OR ANY OTHER & NO ONE CAME ON MONDAY AT THE HOURS THEY SAID EITHER,SO THAT'S THAT. Maybe it was their sick prank. So I was rich for a short while I only lost some time. But.I do think it's important for others to be aware of these things that some people do Just so you know, I couldn't select the age 18-24,since I'm 79 yrs. one other foot-note--I was contacted on an UNLISTED PHONE,strange!!!

I was called and informed I won the Publishers Clearing House. They requested I send them 299.00 via money gram from Walmart and insisted I stayed on the phone with them so they could send the prize patrol to my house to meet me when I return from Walmart. I was in route when it hit me that this was a scam. I told them I would not do this and they kept insisting I stay on the line so they could convince me it was a real prize.
