Report

My mother received a call from someone claiming to be Publishers Clearing House. They told her she won $2.5 million plus $7000 a week for life. They said she had to pay $4722.18 in taxes to receive my money. They said they paid 99% of the taxes for her because she is a senior citizen. I called them back and they gave me confirmation codes and verification codes as well as a code they claimed was for their information with BBB. They gave me bank info to call and verify the funds were in the bank, they gave a Chase bank account and it said there was $4 million in the account. It wasn't in a Publishers Clearing House account it's in a Treasury Department account as unclaimed funds.

I received a call from someone claiming to be with Publisher's Clearing House. They had me write down a bunch of information: Michael Blue, badge #070, prize #235373 and that I was the US certified winner. They were going to give me a cashier's check from Bank of America for $2,580,000 and a 2024 navy blue Ford Explorer black interior with blue stitching. He gave me a private/confidential number 015682WD1X but didn't say what it was for. He also gave me names of the "Prize Patrol Team": Andy Goldberg, Deborah Allen, Dave Sayers. He said that the Prize Patrol Team would visit me with a sheriff's deputy to deliver the prize. Then he asked if I could come up with the first payment of $850 to receive my prize, and I figured it was a scam.

Contacted by phone that I was the 2nd place winner of $4.5 Million and a Mercedes SUV. Gave me contact number, a code word, and after several calls forwarded information to me with a form to fill out which included asking for my SSN#. Multiple calls. when I said I would to have my attorney and my accountant look at the paper work, he immediately said "Oh no, we must keep this confidential. I needed to talk to a manager. Interestingly, the title for the gentleman I was talking to had a title of Vice President but I need to talk to a manager. Two other red flags were (1) his use of terms that are common to foreigners such as calling me Miss ***** and other idiom type words and (2) some odd wording in the documents they sent.

I was contacted saying I had won 3.5 million and a new Mercedes car. Asked if I had received a claim letter in the mail. I replied no. Caller was Greg Grey 516-919-6667 and badge # B009.

Greg asked that I look in the mailbox today and then reach back out to him.

I did not volunteer any information to him. I never even registered to win anything. For sure a scam
