My mother is 80 years old. She received a call from John Kingston (876)3986005 -who told her she was a contest winner and took her credit card information over the phone. John Kingston also reached us from telephone number (929)8004078.

I was suspicious and cancelled the transaction with the credit card company. I then spoke to Mr. Kingston, who transferred the call to a man with somewhat of a Jamaican accent - David Sawyer (760)6007915 ( I am aware that there is an actual rep named David Sawyer at the official PCH, he is the gentleman who hands out the sweepstakes checks) the impostors also mentioned that they are affiliated with BBB.

Once I told the scammers I was going to report them , the rep "Mr. Sawyer" began to curse me out, and it was then VERY clear that he did have a Jamaican accent .

The male identified himself as being with Publishers Clearing House. He went on to say I had won over a million dollars, and a Mercedes. He asked if anyone would be at home, and also said paperwork would be available at 'Walmart' to fill out. Of course I knew it was a scam, I said I would look over any official mail I received, and continued to be uncooperative.... he quickly hung up ... just as I had expected. Be aware.

He called by name.  They work with Publishers Clearing House.  We have to go over to the bank, Wells Fargo.  These two men will go with me to the bank and they needed $1,000.00.  I was also going to get a new car and thousands and thousands of dollars with a mega million power ball.  He sounded like an American.  I asked I for the phone number and he gave it to me.  229-329-6406.   He said he has been doing this for years.  I told him know but he didn't want to take no for answer.

Call comes in as Jamaica Call 1-876-488-2723 - they call very often and have done so for several months. 1st time they called they said they were co-workers long lost relative and to send them money. They called again and tried to say that they received a letter from her about a subscription she requested. Another call they claimed that she had won a prize. Another time when we told them to stop calling because we know they are scammers the person got mad and told us, to put it simply as it was very descriptive, to perform oral on him (this has happened on more than one occasion when we call them out).

Person claimed to be General Manager of Publisher's Clearing House and talking about something. I couldn't understand them and I hung up. They called back and instead of hello I said an annoyed Yes, then realized what I just did and was kicking myself. They started to scold me for hanging up and I asked how they got my number. I told them I'm on the do not call list and they should not be soliciting me. More claims to be GM of PCH, yadda, yadda, yadda. I hung up again and saw the number from Jamaica.

They called claiming I had won money from Publishers Clearing House, also claiming that the FBI was on the line, recording and listening in to the call. They said they would arrive at my door in 45 minutes to give me the check of $8.5 million, a 2017 black GMC Denali, and that I could claim $5,000 at a local Walmart. Eventually they said that I must first pay $450 to the IRS before I could claim anything. When I asked for them to confirm their legitimacy they put their "manager" on the phone, who proceeded to yell at me asking if I really wanted to claim the prize or not. Any mention of what PCH uses to confirm legitimacy of the contact, was further met by aggression.

Caller stated that I won the Publishers Clearing House prize of 950 thousand dollars, trying to find out the best time that I would be home to claim my prize. My husband had also got a call earlier stating the same thing except they told him he had to pay 398 dollars up front for 1 percent of taxes and that they pick up the other 99 percent of the taxes

Person called and said that I had won $5000.00 a week for life. Said the "team" would be at my house in 30 to 45 minutes to present me with my first check for $5000.00. Asked if I had shopped at any of the list of stores he had mentioned within the last week, because that's how my name got in the system for the chance to win. Before I could get the check, I would have to register my "name" for $450.00. I said not interested and person then hung up.

Company called saying they were sending me a free watch for my recent subscription. They said I was a finalist to win $25,000. They also wanted to send me three other free subscriptions for a year. They asked if I was familiar with these magazines, I said yes, which sounded like they recorded it. I then said I didn't want anything from them and hung up. They knew my name when they called but I didn't provide any address or personal information.

Caller advises you won $5.5 million dollars but needs $750.00 processing fee to release funds. Wants money order sent to Merchant Bank, Kathy Jones, 7200 North 7th 2t, Phoenix Ar. 85220. We noticed caller used 970-323-4929 as his phone but on two calls 876-583-6280 (Jamaica Area Code) and 401-351-4056 Rhode Island area code while claiming 970-323-4929 was his actual phone Colorado Area Code. We didn't fall for it but just wanted to report activity
