Received phone call from Kimberly who claimed she was a representative of Bank of America Reward Center representing Publisher Clearing House. She stated I won 4.5 million dollars. Had to retrieve an e-mail from IRS to obtain the confirmation number. Email address: [email protected].

The letter was on IRS letterhead and IRS phone number 1-888-503-6225. Phone number was valid. The letter confirms my winning of 4.5 million dollars. The monies will be deposited to a Bank of America account and would be available pending check verification letter which is signed and authorized by the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Trade Commission. The letter also states documents that needed to be completed before the deposit is available to cash. These documents are:

1. IRS waver (IRS/FTC) $89,456.98 (paid)

2. Check verification letter (IRS) $89,356.75 (pending);

3. Wire transfer processing fee $36573.11 (pending)

4. Insurance (F.D.I.C.) $17,800 (Pending)

5. Government Approval Stamp $98,000 (paid)

6. Federal Tax $13,000 (paid)

7. State Tax $47,519 (pending)

I was then instructed to create an account on the IRS.gov web site using the confirmation code. Then i was to complete a wire transfer of $17,800 from my bank. I was to call Kimberly before I left the house to obtain additional information regarding the wire transfer. Since this was a confidential transaction, I could not release any information (including my children until the monies were successfully transferred.

I knew that this was a scam when Kimberly asked for money for F.D.I.C. insurance.

A friend of mine asked me if I had applied for a PCH grant. She sent me a link to a FB page and a link to "apply" for the grant. I believe this is most likely a scam.

They called me and I missed the initial call, but called the number back in case it was work related. A guy stating that his name was John Jefferson (spoke really bad English) told me I won 3.5 million dollars and a Mercedes. He did not ask my name, or phone number or anything that would identify me. When asked how I won, he stated that I had won from mailing I had filled out, then changed it to the surveys on the back of Wal-Mart receipts. I asked to talk to a supervisor as I could not understand him. Then the supervisor said it was because I paid my taxes on time and it was a prize from the BBB. They asked that I send them a wire transfer of 5181$ to cover the processing fee.

Stated they were located in Charleston, WV then changed it to Clarksburg, WV. However the number was from Virginia. said they could not give an email address, mailing address, or website due to regulations against that.

They would not give me a web-site, address, phone number (other than the one I called). Became very irritated when I kept asking for a website, or address. He kept asking if I had the money to cover the cost of processing fee and asking how I planed to transfer the funds.
