- Minneapolis, MN, USA

I was messaged by a person Danielle Lamb claiming I won the pch sweepstakes 7k a week for life plus a few million up front she had official information, identifying her as Daniel Lamb at publishers, clearing house, a physical name, bad posting her information as the official representative of publisher clearing all the documentation looked legitimate even personal information about my history with the company was known. I confronted the matter as a scam with her when she asked if I received text messages about my winnings, she insist that it was not a scam. I did file a complaint with the FCC I did contact pch.com about the matter a few times by email but they never respond. I still have images of the parties identification and the awards letter

Scammer stated that I had won 7.5 million and a new car. Needed me to buy a money scratch card for 505.99 to give to the presenter to cover tax and registration for the car. Also asked me to always use passcode God Bless America 911 888 when approached by someone that would call in. Scammer was very persistent in trying to get me to purchase the money card.

- Salt Lake City, UT, USA

My elderly father who's 86 continues to get fake letters and checks from "Publish Clearing House" supposedly he won $600,000, and the check sent to him was for $8,000, to be deposited into his checking account to cover taxes and fees so he can get his winnings of $600,000.00, this is not the first time this so called Michael Brooks claims to be from Publish Clearing House with this phone number, when you call and ask him questions, he hangs up on you, but if it were my 86 old father who still lives and owns his own home, I'm afraid they may get through to him one of these days and get a hold of his bank information! Please STOP this scammer, he has a heavy accent, maybe from Africa?

- Madison, OH, USA

I received a letter that looks very legit and legal in the mail on 6/25 from what is being said as Publishers Clearing House (International Promotions/Prize Award dept) stating I won 750,000.00 and the check for 8,700.35 is to help me pay the tax, processing and handling fees of my winnings. I am to only contact Jerry Price at 718-696-7763 to start process of claiming my winnings. Thank goodness I have a daughter I can rely on to help me with this sort of thing. I am 86 yrs old and this is terrible this is happening to people. What is going to be done about this? Where else can people turn to report this and track down these criminals? I hope there is help out there for everyone who has fallen victim to this.

I was first called over a month ago by representatives claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House, stating that I had won their Platinum Package prize - 5.5 million and 4K a week for life and a Porsche. At first they wanted me to pay $800 for a registration fee, then they lowered it it $500, and now they will accept $200. They want me to get an Amazon card or GreenDot card. They have also called from 413-291-9178 and 470-803-7523. One of the callers said his name is Mike Anderson, the supervisor of the Prize Committee and affiliated with Old National Bank. Another caller is named David Orlanski, who said his badge number is 792. He said 99% of the tax was paid and I would have to pay $200. They claim they are coming to my home with the check and the car and will go to the bank with me. I did not send them any money.

He got back from me and said I could send you anything set fifty and he still leaves me voice messages occasionally

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House. They said I won $6.5 million, they asked me to go to CVS and purchase a gift card for $106 and it sounded like a scam to me. I was told to call them back once I purchase the gift card at CVS.

- Rochester, MN, USA

Consumer received a call telling him he had won the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes. He told the caller he hadn't entered; the caller told him if he had shopped at Walmart and/or CVS in the last 10 years that was how he'd been entered. The consumer told him he was a scam and said he was going to the crime prevention dept at his local PD, the call said go ahead. The caller didn't get as far as saying what was won, or what he had to do to get the prize.

- Avilla, IN, USA

I received a 'taped' phone call telling me that I won $10,000 per wk or month for the rest of my life. To claim my prize, I was to call 661-301-2261. My claim number was 95051 and Gary Barksdale (?) is the president of PCH. I did NOT call the number. I had not 'entered' the sweepstakes and so I believe it to be a scam.
