They called me saying I had won 1.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. The person said their name was Jimmy Kingston, and they said to claim it, I needed to go to Wal-Mart at 3:00PM and pay them 499 dollars.

- Oldsmar, FL, USA

I was called by Publishers Clearing House claiming that I won 1.2 million dollars and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. When I called Publishers Clearing House because it was Saturday I got voicemail that stated if I was called regarding anything about winning money it was a scam. When I was called again regarding my winnings I let them know what I heard in the voicemail and they said they were affiliated with the business, and not actually the business. They wanted me to pay $400 and to send them a money order to them from Walmart. When I said I couldn't afford that they said they would take $200 now and $200 a week later so that I could get my winnings. When I refused they hung up on me.

Publisher's Clearinghouse - they told me I won 1 Million dollars. They said they have been trying to call, but have been unable to reach me. They also sent a check for 7,000 written on a Canadian Credit Union Check. They said international fees may apply, so this why they sent the $7,000

Male person called claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House stating that I had won 2.5 million dollars in a drawing. I pretended that the connection was bad and hung up. He called back immediately and asked me why did you hang up? You won a prize. I said I do not understand what you are trying to tell me. He said again that I had won this money in a drawing. I replied by saying that I had not entered into any drawings. He said that they select it from phone numbers.....I told him that this phone call seems suspicious to me and he began getting a little belligerent insisting that I confirm that I would like to have this money. I said I don't like this, it sounds like a scam and I will report this phone number. His response..."I will report your mama" and then he hung up!
