On Saturday March 9th they called me and my husband and then got my number and had both phones tied up at one time. He went and got an Amazon gift card for 499.99 and gave them the numbers off the back of the card. Our daughter got involved at that point and goggled the numbers they were calling from and it said Jamaican money scam. Since then they have called his phone almost every day. Today a lady called and said we needed to pay tax on the money and the car we had won and said she was from the US Treasury Dept. We told her we had not won anything and she said she would talk to David and get it straight. He is the guy we gave the gift card number to. He then called and told my husband to get in the car and go to our bank and he said no they had stole the gift card money and he was not going to the bank. The other numbers they called from was 876 958 0181 and the lady today called from 269 651 4115. Thank you

Person is calling saying they are from publishers clearing house . He asked if this was the blank household. I did not give him a chance to ask me anything else I told him and this is a scam right so he hung up the phone on me.

I received a call around 12pm from Dave S*** at ext. 5 who had my address and both of my phone numbers. He stated I would be receiving $3 million from the publishers clearing house. He stated I was not to tell anyone about it. At the end he told me he didnt want any money but that he needed me to go get a federal stamp for $500. He claimed that it wasn't for them and he stated it was for the federal government.

I just got a call from Victor Fernandez saying he was with Publishers Clearinghouse and that I had won 1.9 million dollars and a Mercedes in a blind draw they had. They wanted to deliver the check and car today, but I first had to pay $900 some dollars for fees. I said I would call them back. He gave me a number and then I called the attorney general's office to check it out. While on hold with the attorney general's office, they called again and when I told them who I was on hold with, they hung up on me. I guess I'm no longer a winner.

A heavily accented male with a terrible connection asked a number of questions, provided four names of the "prize awarding committee, and then requested a purchase at either a Walmart or Walgreen, the receipt of which would somehow verify my identity. He wasted a great deal of my time in the process and called me "sweetie" too often.

On Feb 6, 2019 at 8am a phone message was left indicating that we had won 2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes.

The call came from a person who identified himself as Michael W***, no organization mentioned. We return the call to (603) 609-0429 on 2/6 at 1pm. A male answered stating he was Michael W***. He said our name was place into a raffle type drawing because we shopped at Walmart, Pub. Clearing House etc. Our name was submitted by Walmart along with 200,000 other names. He also said "this call is being monitored by the BBB." He said check with the BBB and call him back and then gave us a call back code. We don't know if this is real or a scam of some type. PLEASE HELP. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SCAM.

Man called with a somewhat thick accent. Said he was from Publisher's Clearing House. I told him that I hadn't entered and he said it was because I had paid my bills on time for a long time in Alaska. He insisted that it wasn't a scam and that it really was PCH. He gave a lot of names of people that were going to come by the house and what my winning ticket # was. It took about 15 minutes for him to get to where he said I needed to take 1 percent of the winning amt ($850) to the local post office; then the official papers would be maintained in Anchorage. Then they would send a check for the remaining winning amount. He sounded more and more fishy as time went on. After about 20 minutes on the phone with him I hung up. he did not call back.

His name David Anderson said I won 2.5 million but needed 200.00 to cover taxes and shipping. Very informative and sent me a e-mail with the pch logo with all the break down of my winnings. Gave me my winner number, serial number and government code word. He was real good but I just knew I did not have to paid to win. Told me to tell no one, make it be a surprise was another thing that did not ring true.

Called and said I won 25 million from Publishers Clearing House and a mercedes. They were delivering it from Boise Idaho. All I had to do was pay 1995.00 tax and they would deliver it today. They told me I was ungrateful and needed to be kinder and donate some of this money and insisted it was a donation not paying them. They tried very hard to bully me
