I received a call from John Michaels of PCH saying that I won $2.5 Million and a new Mercedes & I would need to send $655 for taxes. I was sent 2 checks, from private banking accounts, not certified, totally $4000 to cover this. I then was called by Mark Nelson of Shell Oil saying I had won $750,000 and the check would be delivered the next day. I received yet another call, this time from Lopez on the US Customs saying I would need to pay $800 in insurance as the money was coming from overseas and I would be refunded after sending them the money.

this person said his name was mark anderson said that my mom had won the 2nd place prize which was 2 million and $7,000 at the first of every month, there would be a flatbed pickup will pull up to deliver a new car right behind that would be the claims rep by the name of Betty Morgan to present the 2 mil certified check and that also with her would be the attorney James Hall and would escort us to the financial institution but before the arrived we would need to stay on the line and go to walmart and get a moneygram in the amount of $1,350.32 for presentation fee that would be reimbursed at a later date and once we got the money gram he was going to help us fill out the form once we gave him the claim receipt number and he would have people start arriving at the house

I received a call that I had won a prize from Publishers Clearing House. I was told I would they were going to deliver a new car to my home along with a cashiers check. I was told I had to contact the General Manager of Publishers Clearing House and give them a code. When I called the man's voice was the same. He said I had won $139,000 and a new 2018 Mercedes Benz. He wanted to know if I would accept delivery today. I asked him if there was another person I could contact at Publisher Clearing House to make sure this was for real. He said yes, he would give me that information after he got some information from me. I hung up and called the ScamPulse.com. The sign for me was his broken sentences and speaking slow and it was the same voice when I called the other number. They tried to call me back twice but I did not answer.

Hi,how are you doing today.....Are you aware that you're a lucky winner of PCH??? contact [email protected]

for more information on how to proceed with claims

this is the text message that I had received I did not reply I called the number to see if it was even a real number and I got a voicemail after getting the voicemail I had notified that if this were scammed it would be reported well I search online and did some digging this is a scam. the numbers are originating from somewhere in New York and they have been calling or texting trying to scam people who are affected by Hurricane Harvey. Don't fall for it report these numbers immediately if you get a call or a text from a number that begins with 516 - 596 do not reply do not fall for it

- Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

I've been receiving phone calls for over 2 weeks from Jay King who claims to be from Publishers Clearing House. He says I won $450,000. In order to collect it I must pay $250 to the BBB, then I can get the $450,000. Jay King has asked for my personal information, my SS#, Address, Date of Birth, my Mothers name, my Email address, none of these have I given him. He seems to know I am collecting SS Disability & when my check comes in. He also asks for my Credit Card info, number, security code, etc. I feel certain this is a scam.

- Greenville, SC, USA

Called and said I won 9,850.00. Claim number is AVS01004489USA. The call came from Jamaica. Person called was Victor Coleman. Told me I had to talk to an attorney named Linda Allex to claim the money, but they would not give me the attorney's phone number. I need to pay $195.00 to the government to get the winnings. He also told me that at the end of the year I would have to pay 1 percent of the taxes. Did not do this.

I told them that I did not apply then they said that I was still a winner of 20 million and that I could claim my money if if I pay the release fee that had to be paid upfront of $2000.00. I did not send the $2000.00 and contacted my local ScamPulse.com who then confirmed that this was a scam.

When I said no they asked what I could pay and I told them $100. I was told that the lowest they could accept was $500 and that I needed to give them my banking information. I said no and hung up.
