I got about 5 calls from Publisher's Clearinghouse. The caller identified himself as Billy Adams calling from 876-505-1682 and told me that I won $10 million and a new Mercedes. I was told to send a 2,000 check to *** S County in Kokomo, IN 46903. I told him that this all sounded like a scam but he kept saying it wasn't. I called the ScamPulse.com who told me it was!

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

I received a phone call from phone number 876-528-1819. They claimed that I had won $2.7 million and a 2019 Range Rover. They claimed the prize was sponsored by Bank of America. In order to redeem my prize, I needed to go to Walmart and send $695.89 via a Walmart-to-Walmart transfer to Shenika Williams. After I sent the money, I would need to call them back and provide my receipt number in order to set up the instructions to obtain my prize. When I asked why I needed to send the money, they stated that the winner was required to pay .1% of the winnings and that this was the only way to receive the prize. They claimed that they were from Publisher's Clearing House and that I was one of 3 winners they had choose that month. If I did not claim my prize, it would go to the Unclaimed Prize Department.

Last week I received a phone call from a different number claiming that I had won $2.5 million and a 2019 Mercedes Benz. When I asked if the two winnings were affiliated, I was told no.

I spoke with Mr. Donald Johnson and he transferred me to his secretary, Eileen Moskavitch. Eileen claimed to be based in Las Vegas, but I could hear a foreign language in the background. When I asked her why I heard a foreign language, she said that our lines must have gotten crossed. When I told Eileen that I needed to go, she insisted that I send the money as quickly as possible so that I could have access to the money.

I called them back to tell them I had confirmed with the ScamPulse.com that it was a scam. They were insistent that they were legitimate and that I should claim my prize as quickly as possible. After speaking with BBB, I know this is not a legitimate opportunity and I am submitting this report hoping that no one falls victim to their persuasive tactics.

After speaking with BBB, I actually received a follow up phone call from Eileen. She wanted to know if I had a chance to go to Walmart to pay the taxes for the prize money. I told her that I did not want to move forward because when you win something, you should not have pay money for it. I told her that I hoped she realized what she was doing was scamming people and that she got into a more legitimate line of business.

Received a voicemail stating that I had won 7 million dollars and that I would be able to receive 5 thousand dollars a week. They then left their number for me to call back and kept repeating that number.

I was contacted by a man going by the name of John Kerry and his Supervisor/Delivery Manager called Baskin White claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House stating that I was a sweepstakes winner of $18,500,000.00 and a Mercedes C class vehicle, I was the winner of a drawing at a Walmart that I didn't even enter into. Now they are asking that I send them $220 to pay for Registration fees with the IRS for an accessors fee and that it should be paid at Walmart. I have contacted Publisher's Clearing House to report this issue with them. They are claiming to be registered with the ScamPulse.com and the U.S. Department of Treasury and that I would receive a Cashier's Check but I have to have an active checking account in order to receive my prize.

You were through facebook messenger. Supposedly from a friend saying they won money from Publisher's Clearing House for $90,000. But that he had to pay a fee first. The fake friend said that he saw her name on the list and that she just needed to pay a fee of $800.00. Customer talked them down to $100.00. But customer has not gone through with it.

Unfortunately I did not write down the phone number used by this scammer. He was doing his best to hide his foreign accent but called me Mr. Nancy Williams and couldn't pronounce Lincoln. His voicemail message was telling me that I had won some ridiculous amount of money, $14.5 million I think, and a Lincoln Navigator. I laughed. I was to call a number to claim my prize. I did not write that number down. If he should happen to call again, I will note the numbers.

Heavy accent male called my cell phone and said I won the publishers clearing house prize. I continued the conversation and found I would have to send $4,500.00 in order to claim a prize of more than 2 Million dollars. I agreed.

I said I would have to go to the bank and would take me about 30 minutes to get ready. He wanted to keep me on the line that length of time, but I said I could not stay on that long.

He is going to call me back in 30 mins which would be about 1:53 CT. I have since blocked that no. it is 1-876-849-1417.

On Tuesday someone called me saying they were with Publishers Clearinghouse saying I had won 5 million dollars and a 2019 Mercedes Benz. I asked lots of questions so we talked for a long time. At one point they offered to take me to the bank but then later said I could go to the bank myself and that I would need to draw out some money but they didn't really say what for that they would tell me when I had gone to the bank. The man was very convincing and told me yesterday that that was the last night I could claim my funds. I had a relative with me who encouraged me to contact ScamPulse.com which I did and after hearing what had happened tole me it's a scam.

Yesterday I got a text that said I had won $50,000 from Publishers Clearinghouse. The text came from a 302 area and they wanted me to go get 5 $100 gift cards to cover the fees. I wasn't sure it was for real so I called ScamPulse.com and they told me it's a scam.

Elderly widowed mother got repeated calls from fake PCH caller telling her that she didn’t need to enter to win a prize. Scammer referenced $7,000/week prize, 4 million $$ prize, new Mercedes automobile. Ultimately convinced her to transfer $1,500 into his account to cover fees and taxes. Fortunately she used a cashiers check, and we were able to stop the transaction and get her money back. This caller spent a lot of time grooming an elderly woman.
