A man named Bobby Foster called and told me I had won PCH. I was told I was a second place winner and taking a Private jet to Columbus OH. Then I needed to take $500 cash to USPS put into Express envelope to send to Donna Manis 836 Center Street Asbula OH 44004 with postage charge of $22.95. This was for a fee and taxes. They have called been calling me more time than 27 times. They now are telling me that their manager stated I needed to send another $500 because it wasn't enough to cover the taxes. I asked why he couldn;t take it out of the $500,000 I had won and he said that our government state they need their taxes first. I got suspicous and then I called the ScamPulse.com and found out I had been scammed and too embarased to tell my family but want other s to know.

The person called and I did notice that it said "No Caller ID", otherwise I would not have answered. They said his name was "Joseph Kennedy", and said they wanted to know if I would be, "home today to receive the $2.5 million from publisher's clearing house".

He very carefully had me write down his name, the company, a "Prize confirmation #" along with the prize they were going to deliver today of, "$2.5 million, and a Perl White Mercedes 2016 E class". and then asked me to repeat everything he had told me to insure I had written it down. He then said he needed to ask me some questions to verify xyz. He asked if I was married or single, I decided that was pretty easy information to obtain, so I told him married. He then asked my age, at which time, I asked why they would need that. He abruptly hung up on me. I was crushed! :-).

Incidentally, within 5 minutes of that call I received a text from [email protected] saying (Wells Fargo: Your Debit Card is restricted. (No:my cell phone number) Visit wellsfargo.com-9.eklnmx.com/ and unlock it now. Of course I have no wells fargo account so it is obviously a scam as well. I suspect the two are connected.

On October 17, 2016 I received a call from Publisher's Clearing House that I won $2.8 million in a sweepstakes drawing and I would need to fill out a form at a CVS. I was supposed to let the caller know which CVS I would be going to. I went to CVS and asked if anyone had been into the CVS looking for me. CVS said no one had been to CVS looking for me. I called the caller back and he said no one had been to CVS as their phones were down. I then received a call from Donald Johnson and I told him I called Publisher's Clearing House and Publisher's Clearing House stated it was a scam. Donald said oh no this is not a scam. He said again to go to CVS and get a form and send $989.50. I said I was calling the BBB. I hung up and have received five additional call from Donald.

I was called by J.M. Davis and told that I had won $250,000 in the PCH. They called 8 times and said that the check would be delivered by UPS. I decided I better check before anything else happened.

This evening (9/23/16) I received a call from Publishers Clearing House in Washington DC saying I had won $2.5 million which would be delivered next week by Bobby Smith ID # 5509, PCH manager Edna Wright ID#3602, FBI agents Dave Brown and David Anderson. All I had to do is send a $299 certified check from Walmart Western Union to Shion Smikle, attorney for PCH in Jamaica, Jamaica. Mark Myers from PCH in Washington DC made the call to me from phone number - 876-359-8017. Needless to say -- I did not run to Walmart. The $299 was suppose to be my portion of the taxes for the IRS ---- PCH would pay the remaining taxes. I told Mr. Myers that I would have to call my attorney and accountant which I couldn't do until Monday, and the ScamPulse.com before I sent money. He told me the ScamPulse.com number to call is: 876-512-1127......I didn't call ---- the whole thing seemed like a scam and I didn't fall for it but felt someone should know calls like this one are being made. PCH should know also.

I was contacted during class. I received the phone call, and it sounded sketchy. Eventually he convinced me to give $500.00 through Western Union. I still have the receipts. He told me because my bank was closed, tomorrow I would have to wait until he delivered the car and 2.5 million dollars. The next morning he told me I had to go to the bank and deposit $3,000. This made me even more skeptical and I began arguing with him. I couldn't believe what was going on. Through a lot of arguing he eventually convinced me with a letter that I though was from the IRS and the ScamPulse.com. This was what won me over. I deposited another $990 through Western Union to Jamaica, Jamaica. Throughout the scam he was constantly telling me he is a good man who only wants to support his family through the job he is working. I truly believed he was a good man.

My elderly mother received a letter in the mail from Publishers Clearing House. The letter told her she was one of two finalists for a prize of 100 million dollars. In the envelope was a check for $50,762.00 that she was to deposit in her bank account and then call 647-219-7498 and give them the security code included in the letter. The check was to pay tax and fees on her prize. The caller said she would be informed when she called where to send the money to pay fees and tax. After they received the money her prize would be sent to her bank, they wanted her account number so it could be directly deposited. The check was drawn on Bank of America under the account of Allstate Insurance and looked very real. I contacted the ScamPulse.com and my suspicion that this was a scam was confirmed.

I was called on Saturday by John Washington (with a foreign accent I could not place) from 876-845-5203 telling me I had won 1.7 million, a new BMW and $7,000.00 for life. He said I could confirm that he was with the sweepstakes by calling 876-485-8901 and asking for him. I did not call to confirm. Today I got another call from the same number and person notifying me that i had won the sames prizes and they wanted my address so the prizes could be delivered. If I had won the sweepstakes they would know my address. I will not call them back, they are scammers.

Reporting a phone scam in Columbus, Ohio--

Yesterday my mom received a strange phone call from an apparent phone scammer. The man on the phone said he was from Publisher’s Clearing House, and my mother was the big winner. Supposedly, the team members were close by and wanted to come right over. FIRST, though, he had some questions for my mom

to answer. At that, luckily, my mom hung up the phone. I checked online about Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes and found that they never notify a winner by phone. This call sounds like a scam to me. I thought this serious enough to contact your office.

Just letting you know that the following is another scam:

Name: Mark Rogers, agent # 877800003, the phone number that calls is 876-892-1511 coming from: Kingston, Surrey County, Jamaica. They say they are a summer promotion affiliated with publishers Clearing House. They say to register for the $320,000 and a car that I need to wire $199.00 dollars. Thought you could put this out so other elderly don't get taken. Fortunately I looked it up before letting any money be sent.

Contacted on June 29, 2016 by text message from Dave @ 6823330377. Text stated I have won one million dollars and was directed to open a checking account and provide the information to caller. Caller texted that $299.00 fee could need to be paid in order to get the money. Texted back that my wife was going on kidney dialysis and that I would call today at 1:00 p.m.

I stated to caller that I was always told if I win something that I would not have to pay a dime. I checked with site of Publisher's Clearing house that they would not be calling by telephone. Caller explained that the information was the only information he had. Caller will be waiting for call back at 1:00 p.m. today, June 30, 2016 with bank account information.

Had a phone call saying they were publishers clearing house and that I won $2.5 million and $150,000 cash. They gave me a tracking # of 85994A38. Said they would be at my house in about an hour with a sheriff and an attorney.

I was to give them the tracking # and another number of #00015389571. Said I needed to go to Walmart and purchase a $385.00 pay pal card. When I get home with the card I needed to call Sharon James at 1-714-610-9724.

And say I was home with the card. I didn't purchase the card but called the number I was supossed to. It was a recording and barely understand the message. Then I called publishers clearing house and ScamPulse.com.
