Received a call from Jamaica saying they were with Publishers Clearing House and I had won $2.5million dollars and a pearl white Mercedes Benz. I was told I needed to pay 1% registration fee of $499.00 to have check registered in my name. I was reassured this was no scam. I was given a confirmation number and told to go to Walmart to use my debit card to send the money. I hung up at this point.

Dave Anderson, PCH, called from 876-796-5963, he said I won PCH 6.5 mil. He asked for a check for $485 to cover the insurance. He asked if I had an email address. He said he would need two IDs. He asked if I was working.

Person with Russian accent called to let me know I have won $2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes. I work for the government and specialize in fraud and this guy was good. Said things like he swore on his grandchildren's lives...hope to God that I don't think this is a scam. He had me write down his name, badge number, an attorney's name, a claim number, etc.....

He wanted me to READ BACK the information he gave me....I asked him to read it again...said I had to read it for the recording. BINGO. They are recording your voice saying certain things...even just numbers. They will manipulate the recording and use your voice to authorize things. Please don't fall for this and tell all of your friends to be careful.

We received a letter from Peter Brown, CFO of Publishers Clearing House saying that we won $500,000, second place winner. There was a check enclosed for $6,498 to cover insurance and attorney fees. The letter was postmarked out of Nashville, TN, but the numbers were out of Canada. We were unable to get through by phone so we are not out any money.

- Meridian, ID, USA

I received a phone call on my landline this morning.

A man identified himself as a representative of Publishers Clearing house and I was the winnere of 2.50 million dollars plus a new car and other assorted prizes. He was very convincing and a fast talker. He then had his supervisor call me and she also went thru the whole line and was very

eager for me to have this amazing prize. But I had to go to Walmart and send 260.00 to a woman named Rackel Doman with the address Jamaica. She would not give up on me, talking until I told her to stop. The money was to be from my debit card. I finally realized that it was a scam and hung up but she sent me 6 more calls that I didn't answer. She finally gave up. I wanted this to be known to keep others from being tricked by these terrible people. Fortunately I did not send the money.

I received 4 phone calls,startin on Saturday June23,2018, identifying the caller from Publishers Clearing House trying to arrange a meeting at Walgreens to receive winnings after I paid them $285., with the intention of bringing winnings to my home. Identifying codes ,.etc were provided, but no phone number was provided.Promised to provide $2.5 million in an uncertified check in bank account, etc., $10,000 certified check, etc....The first number that this party called from today , was able to be recovered from cell, and the number is 876-890-6398.

Said that we won a Mercedes car and 5.1 million dollars. Wanted us to wire money to be officially registered with us treasury. Very threatening language used by the caller when the sweepstakes winnings were met with skepticism.

- Olney, TX, USA

They called and said I won 6.5 million and a 2018 Mercedes Convertible. They text me a pic of car.

Said I owed 6% of taxes and that Oprah had paid most of it.

I told him I didn't have it but he worked his way down to $200. I went to the post office and sent the cash in an envelope to Maria San Juanita Gonzalez, Hot Springs California.

I called ScamPulse.com and they told me it was a scam. At their direction, I went back to Post office and was able to stop the overnight package and got my money back.

I received a call from Robert Nelfon and said she won the PCH, but could not give her the amount or come to my house due to her age. They gave a confirmation number of: 74135550192319. I was suppose to receive a letter in the mail. He kept asking me to repeat the confirmation number and his name. He wanted to know about banks in the area. Today I received a call from a female stating I had won 1.2 Million and then the guy that I spoke to last night got on the phone and asked how it felt. I told him "I am so excited, I am recording this call for my family" and they abruptly hung up.

PCH stated I owed them $80 for a $1000 prize.

PCH called saying we won money, but then they said we had to pay to receive it.

For weeks, my 95 yr old client has received endless calls from "Robert" and "John" all hours of the day in regards to winning the sweepstakes if he sends an amount of money to them, and the prize will be delivered in cash. I have told them to cease and decist, and it is endless. They want his Son's number, my number, and other personal info. All calls, of which there are at least 14 numbers, come from Jamaica. OR they block the number.

John Peterson called and said I won $2.5 million. He said that they would pay 99% of the taxes and that I only had to pay 1%. He gave me his phone number to call him back on once I had gone and gotten a money order. He mentioned they were in the Cayman Islands. That I know is a scam and I did not call him back.

- Washington, DC, USA

On or about April 25, 2018, I received a check for $7,695 with an unaddressed “letter” flyer notifying me that I was a 2nd place prize winner of $500,000, purportedly from Publishers Clearing House (w/logo). I have not negotiated the check. A person called on or about 5/2/18 asking about the check (from 919.964.3670). I acknowledged receipt; thought it was a fraud as it directed me that the check was for “insurance and attorney fees,” neither of which I needed or engaged; that if it was a legitimate prize, then just send me the money. I got testy, he got testy and said he was coming to my home. I said I would call the police if he showed up. He directed me to cash the check and he was coming to get the money at which point I hung up the phone. I received at least 3 other calls from the same number, neither of which I responded to.

I reported this scheme to the FTC. I have the check (now "voided") and the letter (haven't figured out how to attach) but will not deposit. These 2 numbers,437-488-8398 and 647-407-0363, were in the flyer instructing me to contact them before I deposited the check. The flyer also instructed me to keep this information confidential “as required by Federal and State laws.”
