I received a phone call from Peter Hampton stating I was a winner of 1.5 Million dollars with $1,500 per week for life with winning a new Mercedes however I was later contacted by a Toni Richmond, that verified I was a Winner and stated it was not a fraud but official LOTTERY Winning stating I could be sure I was covered by the Aiding & Bedding of Commission Lottery of Lottery ACT. I was then contacted by Don Bailey at 516-430-7750 who stated I needed to pay a commission fee of $935 via personal check sent overnight through the USP which I did on 5-14-2018 only Sending $300 to Mary Gordon at 1034 Main Street Jeffersonville, IND 47130 OVER NIGHT EXPRESS Confirmation # EL867372972US after returning from the USP I received multiple calls stating the Prize Control were in the local area of New Port Richey and would be arriving shortly with my Prize Moneys. However, No one showed up. Then today the phone calls started in once again from Don Bailey requesting I pay in CASH another $300 or charge it to a credit account which I refused to do, contacting the BBS via phone speaking with Sharon who suggested I come online and fill the scamming form out. After that my daughter assisted me in contacting my bank to place a stop payment on the check sent last night because Delivery was to be made by Noon today, hoping to stop the payment before I was out of the complete $300 partial payment fee. I am also going to contact local authorities to forward the information so that other elderly people will not be miss lead and scammed as I have recently been taken advantage of. so Please be aware of above noted information incase you too start receiving these phone calls.

I was contacted by James McGuire stating that he represented Publishers Clearing House and that I won 1.5 million dollars. All I would have to do to claim the money was to provide 1,200 dollars in postal money orders and deposit in Joshwayne O Sergents Bank of America account. I was given an account number and routing number and only then would I receive my prize money.

Phone call from an "unknown number" on my cell phone. Sounded like a call center in the background. Man said he was calling from the Publishers Clearing House. I interrupted him asking to be taken off the call list. He said I couldn't be taken off the call list without paying a fee to be removed. I said that is not true and asked him for the number he was calling from. He said again I'd need to pay a fee before he would remove me from the call list. I pressed him for a call back number and he gave: 233-4431. I asked for the area code and he said I'd need to pay a fee..I asked where he was calling from and he said "D.C." He said he could not give me the area code. I asked again to be removed from the call list then hung up.

An individual claiming to be John Cooper contacted me via phone call claiming he was from publishers clearing house. He said I had won the million dollar prize and in order to get my prize money I’d have to transfer 580 to a government account. He claimed I would be reimbursed this money. After calling the real publishers clearing house I confirmed this was a scam.

They said they work with the IRS so that if i paid this money first, i would not have to be taxed on my winnings. I hung up after calling them frauds and they tried calling back again on a private number

I received a call from Robin Smith of the Publisher's Clearing House stating that I had won 3rd place prize in the amount of $2,500,000. He said that I would need to pay $7500 for taxes by wiring money. He asked if I had that money at home and could I afford that amount. I told him I not have that amount at home and why don't they just take it out of my winnings. He assured me that this was normal and that I would get it back when they came to my house to present the check. He asked if he could check the department of revenue to see if I was trustworthy. I told him go ahead, but I did not give him any personal information. He came back on and told me, yes, I was an honest person. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours. When I got off I called the BBB to see if this was a scam.
