Someone claiming to be from PCH said I won a prize but needed to pay fees.

Said I won PCH 2nd prize 950000 but I would have to get a Money starch Card from Walgreens to give to them when they presented the check for monthly payment because the IRS reguired registration fees for anyone who won over 10000 They paid 90% of fees

Type of a scam: Phishing

Sent me a text to my cellphone

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.

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!

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.
