$$500 Green Cared to get $2.5 million from Publishers Clearing House

Daniel Lam 561-298-0688

• Jul 31, 2025

Just got a phishing text from this number saying, "Could you kindly remind me who this is?" I don't know this person of course. Probably just fishing for information to connect the dots. I see a lot of people on here saying that it's a publishers clearing house scam. I do wonder if they got a text prior to receiving the secondary scam where the sender of the text obtained their first and last names and possibly more information from sending that initial text message.

Susan Williamson left a message. Said she was from PCH and I was selected for the monthly trivia and had an unclaimed package, gave me the number of the package and said to call her if I hadn’t received it. I did not receive any package. I did not call her back. Figured it was a scam.

I received a call yesterday stating I won $6.5m. They wanted me to go to Dollar General, Walmart or CVS and get a gift card for $500 for state registration fee. Code # BLA250. The person who contacted me was David Anderson. He said they would deliver the car tomorrow morning. I told him I was going to call the ScamPulse.com and he said go ahead. I hung up.

Two people called, stating I was the big winner. I had to pay taxes on the winnings and I had won 34.5 million, a Mercedes and it went from $8,000.00 to $10,000.00 dollars weekly till my end of life. I told them I didn’t have that kind of money. They were very adamant that I told no one. Of course I told my brother & called my tax person. As what I thought, they were scammers, but now they want to pay off my credit card and pay with that. I am really lost! I told them no! So hopefully they/he don’t call back!

I receivd a voicemail at 2:30am from Publishers Clearing House. A guy with a foreign accent

- Cleveland, OH, USA • Apr 27, 2025

On the Initial Call:

The caller identified himself a "George ********* with PCH (initially) stating I had won the 3rd place prize of $9.3 million dollars, I would receive $300,000 dollars in cash, and a 2025 GMC Sierra. "George", then sent 7 stock showroom photos of a truck and scheduled a delivery date and time in about 4 days from the date of the call and provided a an 11-character Prize Claim Number. George told me I need to provide a state Driver's License, Birth Certificate, and a "Claimer's Card obtained from *******" to receive the prizes when they were delivered. "Geroge" also provided a 10-digit "security code" to unlock the briefcase that would contain the $300,000 dollars.

"George" call three more times:

Each time "George" attempted to be "more friendly" to "establish trust" and collect more personal information like my age, do I own or rent, am I married, how many children do I have, etc. "Geroge" then claimed the prizes were now from winning "Powerball International", the "Claimer's Card" became a "Claimer's Stamp from the BBB". The Claimer's stamp was to be obtained by sending money to the ScamPulse.com office in Jamaca Queen, NY to the attention of "Patrick *****" via a *******-to-******* ******* ***** money transfer. The "Claimer's Stamp" was now for the IRS Agents that would be present to stamp the $9.3 million dollar check so that it would be accepted by my bank as legal.

I received a phone call that stated we were being recorded and that I had won 2.5 million dollars to be given to me in $7000 weekly payments. I had to verify my address and age then was told that I had to purchase a registration card. I said I did not understand what that was. The man called himself Joe Goodman, and said I had to go to Walgreens and purchase a $200 dollar Amazon gift card. When I fought with him about that, he said "You have a good day ma'am" then hung up.

- Bellevue, NE, USA • Mar 13, 2025

I think this is a scam. Because they want money up front before giving me the 35 million he said i had won from publishers clearing house.

- Lakemore, OH, USA • Mar 06, 2025

I received a call from someone named Andrew, he said he was from Publishers Clearing House and I was a winner. He told me I won $5.9 million and a brand new truck. They told me I would need to purchase a $500 gift card.

- Meridian, ID, USA • Feb 28, 2025

He said his name was Bill Clark. He used a badge # 4215PA. He said I had won 3.5 million dollars from PCH but that I had to pay a small fee to get it. He used reference # 99955401PA. He tossed out some names to send the money to: Michael Anderson & Daniel Lamb. He didn't have a foreign accent just sounded like a regular guy. I wanted to see just how far he would go to try and scam me so I played along to get him to give me more details. I knew it was a scam from the beginning but someone desperate for the money may have fallen for his lies.

- Mc Cook, NE, USA • Feb 24, 2025

Said he was Dave Sayer from Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. I did not enter.

- Lawrence, KS, USA • Feb 15, 2025

This Tony Edwards claimed to be from Publisher’s Clearing House. He was in the area from Las Vegas to deliver the prize to me personally. Also gave an employee ID #. He said I had won $950,000 plus $50,000 cash plus $5,000 a month for life, plus a new Chevy Silverado Truck. I had to hav 2 forms of ID plus a receipt with the date on it fro a grocery stor, etc. I think they wanted me to get $300 as proof then I’d get to keep that as soon as they verified my identity. Sounded pretty fishy to me, so I contacted Publishers Clearing House, and it was not them.

- Mooresville, NC, USA • Feb 10, 2025

Gave a claims # 25467. Knew my name. Claimed to be Dave Sayre from Publisher's Clearing House. Had an American accent. Said I had won 8.5 million $. Claimed to be legit. Needed 3,500.00$ for government registration. Would I be able to come up with the money. I said it depends, after I check out to make sure if this is a legit call. Then he hung up after he said he would need to check with his manager.
