Type of a scam: Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

I keep receiving calls from Publishers Clearing House. The number in my caller ID is 770-966-6321. He asked if I was ready to claim my prize. Tell me I won $250,000 and a Mercedes. He asks if I live near a Wal Mart or Walgreens Greens. He wanted me to buy a card for the taxes. I don't remember the name of the card. They normally tell me $500. Buy two cards and put $250 on each, I could provide the balance when I I receive my prize and Mercedes. I knew it was a scam and did not buy any cards. A man and woman have called. I could hear children in the background when the lady called. I have called before and reported this. I just hung up. I did not want to have a conversation.

Type of a scam: Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

I received a call on 12/14/2022 from a man claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House, telling me I had won $9.5 million, $5000 a week for life, and a 2023 S class Mercedes Benz. He said his name is Andrew Goldberg. He asked for $499 up front for insurance on the Mercedes so they could deliver it. He instructed me to go to the Post Office and get a money order and have it sent overnight to Robert Shoup, 730 W. 7 St, Shosone ID 83352. He also told me not to tell anyone. He told me to hang up and call him back so I would know it was legit. When I called the number back he answered it as Publishers Clearing House. I recognized his voice. He told me I would need to speak to a manager. The manager was not a different person. It was the same man named Andrew. He told me to send the money quickly so they could deliver the car. When I told him I wasn't going to send any money because I knew it was a scam and that I was just playing with him, he got mad and told me I could kiss his *** and hung up on me.

This man with a Southern accent called me and told me that I had won the big prize

from Publishers Clearing House. I was supposed to take a blank piece of paper to Dollar General store in my hometown and call him back for further instructions. Since I had received a similar scam a couple of months ago, I immediately knew that this was just another scam.

Publishers Clearing House winner Scam

My aunt received a call this am (that I answered) and they addressed me as "Mr" and her last name. They told me that I was a Publishers Clearing House winner and that I had won 23 Million dollars and a brand new 2022 Mecedes. It wasn't even my number they called and they didn't even know my name. So, when I questioned him on how I could be the winner when they didn't even know my name and my aunt hadn't entered any contest. They said it could have been that she entered 20-30 years ago. They knew the address associated with the number and gave me instructions on how I was to confirm the winnings. The caller had an Indian accent and gave me his name as "Bobby Anderson" (how American does that sound!) He also told me his "Badge number" was "368US" and his phone number was: 912-290-9648. The instructions were that I was to call Bank of America and verify the amount that was in the account waiting for me to claim it. They also wanted to know what color Mersedes I wanted and listed the choice of colors. They also asked if I could still drive. . . so, I'm thinking they know these calls are going to older people. So, I was supposed to call: 1- 209-270-5154 (which turned out to supposedly be "Wells Fargo") and to verify the amount in the account and then call him back to make arrangements for the delivery of the money and the Mercedes. He also mentioned that there may be a possibility that we would have to pay taxes on the winnings. I'm sure this was the prelude to them asking for that up front. When I told him this doesn't sound legit, Bobby told me to "put my shoes on and stand like a man" I told him he needed to - to prove himself to me. Since I was able to find the number on Scampluse.com I knew he was full of BS. So, when he called me back, I told him that he just needs to stop and that I knew he was a scam. I also told him to take our number off his list and that I was reporting him. He said "he wasn't doing anything wrong". So, please, warn the older people to be aware!

We spoke for about twenty minutes. He had me going. He said God bless you. God has rewarded you. He seemed so sincere. He had me going. He asked how old my husband was. He demanded to speak with my husband. My husband got on the phone. He kept throwing blessing us. Asked if we want it private or national. Hey asked if we had any other members in our family. We said two children. He told us not to tell our children until we come to your door. He asked for money. He asked if we had a savings account or investments. My husband did tell him we have a bank account. We have to pay the government $35,000. Since we are seniors over 65 we pay one percent. $300 within 24 hours. That is when we knew it was a scam. I'm glad my husband was home. We told him to take the fee out of our winnings. My husband said forget it. The caller got very angry. He said someone else will get the prize. We knew it was a scam when they asked for money. The call made me cry. I was upset. He really had me going.
