I was contacted by a friend through Facebook that she had won $80,000 through Publishers Clearinghouse. When they delivered her the money she noticed my name on the list of winners. This friend told me I could win this money if I would “friend” a Carol Mott Fitch on Facebook and then message her.

I did just that. Ms Fitch said she had to check my Facebook account she said everything checked out. She told me that I had to pay her $500 to get my winnings. Then she asked where I lived (my address) my phone number, and my email address. I was told I could go to Winco and get five $100.00 gift cards to pay her.

I was skeptical so I talked to my friend and asked her if this was legitimate. I then asked her to give me a photo of check for $80,000. She sent me a photo of of the cash she got

My wife received a call this morning stating that she was chosen to receive a prize award from Publishers Clearing House in the amount of $5.5 million. She has never entered their contest. The caller (who spoke with an accent) gave us his name and phone number. We were very skeptical, but the caller was very persistent even after we said we would decline to participate in the offer. Then he said we would also receive a bonus of $7,000 per month for the rest of our lives and a Mercedes Benz auto. We again declined the offer and ended the call. Then we received a call from his supervisor asking us to accept the award. After almost an hour we again declined the offer and ended the call. They had our correct name and address, but no other information.

After Thanksgiving 2020, someone named Dean Winter called saying he was calling from Publishers Clearing House. I know they do not call potential winners. He even said something about me shopping at Walmart, which I rarely do, and said something about me writing him a check for about a hundred and twenty something dollars. I missed the other two calls and voicemails. Thank God.

So this guy portraying to be Dave Sayer called stating I won a new car from a Mercedes dealership and 1.2 million from Publishers clearing house. He wanted me to pay $500 in processing fees and he would bring my new car and check to my home. He knew the address. As I gave him the runaround he continue to get aggravated and he offered to meet me at my bank to get the $500 when I told him my bank is not in town he suggested I get a debit card from Walmart. When I refused to do so he became more and more agitated. I confronted him about him being a scam and he got angry and kept calling even though I told him do not call my house again he repeatedly called six or seven times in a row. I’m really worried because he had personal information that no one should’ve had. I called my local sheriffs department and I contacted the dealership. I told him to email me some type of proof that I was a winner and he emailed me a bunch of junk that looked homemade but using someone else’s passport as identification. If you would like to call me I have that saved and I will be glad to help you catch these people. I really do hope that you guys can put a stop to these clowns portraying to be something they’re not. People work hard for their money and it should not be stolen by thieves with broken promises. I’m just thankful they called me instead of some elderly woman that did not know better. ************  if you have any questions

The person had a foreign accent . After I asked how he got my number and threatened to turn him in to the ScamPulse.com he replied with a degrading sexual threat to me so I immediately hung up the phone. These people must be stopped . They are disgusting!

Business called and stated that they were from Publishers Clearing House. They wanted me to go to Wal-Mart and send them $499.00 and once she sent them the money they would send the prize patrol to her house. He even stated that he would stay on the phone with her while she went to Walmart and give her instructions once she got there. They called from 876-476-7773 and stated that his name was Alexander Blown.

The person told me I had won 2nd place in the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, and that I would be receiving $3.5M and a new Mercedes Benz, and i would start receiving payments this Friday of $5000/week until i received the entire amount.

He told me that his name was Micheal Andersos, and that he and Debra Holland would arrive this afternoon with a big Clearinghouse check, and that he would stand on the left and i on the right, and Debra would take a picture for publication. He gave me his badge number of 840321US. He told me they would have a box to give me and that after they presented me with the check they would escort me to the bank.

They proceeded to ask me who i wanted as a beneficiary for the money if anything happened to me, what color car i wanted, whether i was a US citizen, over age 50, marital status.

Then he wanted to let me know the requirements expected for when they arrived. I was to have 2 - $500 VISA gift cards, which would be exchanged hand-to-hand for the package they were bringing. At this point i hung up the phone.

He called back, and i rejected the call.

He called a third time and told me we must have been cut off. I said “No, i hung up on you!”

He said “Aren’t you interested?”

I said “ No, I’m not an [censored]!”

He hung up on me.

Five minutes later i thought to myself that i should have told him I’d have the gift cards and then called the police to apprehend them when they arrived. Hindsight! Could have gotten them off the street.

They called and told me I won 3.5 million dollars and that I would get $7k a week for one year. They told me to go Walmart to get some gift cards, one vanilla debit visa card. Walmart was out. I went to Walgreens for an Amazon gfit card and they said it might be a scam. Then I went to CVS and found the Vanilla card.

Then they wanted me to go send cash via FedEx in a magazine but FedEx said they couldn't send cash when i asked them.

Phone call: won prize worth millions plus expensive car. Cautious but curious of possibility. Led around to request for bank info to deposit checks (got nothing, accounts blocked). Wanted to prepay taxes on winnings. wanted to pay taxes in cash. No way does the IRS want taxes in advance nor do they want cash. Stayed on phone, constantly asking questions and praising winning prizes. The chatter keeps their victim from thinking deeply enough to realize something is wrong. Even wanted to stay on the phone while going to the bank as well as while in the bank. After blocking bank accounts, hung up. Kept calling over 12 times. Left voice mail - they were so close to making it.
