Publishers Clearing House Imposter - Prize Winner Scam Reports & Reviews – Page 10 (215)

Report

The scammer has the latest phone number of (402) 257-5410. He states he is with PCH and he will help her get back the $50,000 she has lost. She has given $10,000 to this person. My sister is very gullible, She believes and TRUST anyone who states they will help her. We have filed many police reports and have received no help. I believe it is the same person scamming her. Otherwise, how would they know she had already been scammed out of $50,000? This person originally claimed my sister had won $18,000,000 and a Mercedes from PHC. Now he is stating he will help get back her $50,000.

someone called claiming that I was a winner from the Publisher's Clearing House. Left a message on my answering machine claiming that I had won something big and I should call back for further info to claim my prize. I called back and person just said...hello. Did not identify organization etc. I hung up and checked the Publisher's Clearing House website where they said they would never reach out by phone and to make sure not to give any personal info.

Dave Sawyer who said he was from publishers clearing House called me when I was in the hospital and said that I want 18.1 billion and a brand new 2022 Mercedes. That because of taxes they would pay 99% and I would have to pay remaining 1% which you said was $299. He told me not to tell any family members that he was going to be working up to paperwork and will call me when it was ready.Then he started calling me babe and when I asked to speak with the supervisor the supervisor told me this is real then he called me honey both terms which incredibly unprofessional. I checked my email which was the information I give in publishers clearing House when I put my name in for the contest and there was nothing there. I was in the hospital at the time and you called me three times that day leaving a message saying ******** call me call me. I never called him back because I realized it was nothing about a scam and all he wanted from me was a $299. I said we could meet at my bank ask what bank that was and I refuse to tell him that we will discuss that later. He is called me everyday since then at least twice sometimes three times a day with back-to-back calls leaving less than a minute between calls. This is definitely not a little sweepstakes win put through and I would like to see *** *** *** ******* *** ******* Along with his supervisor whoever that might have been. I got the feeling during our entire conversation that this was all fake and he was praying on elderly people like many do and all he want to do is get my $299 they pay able to them. I believe the first call I got from him was June 26 and have gotten a call from him every day since then of I have answered none. Something needs to be done immediately before he does this to someone else. I would appreciate you contacting me at email address **************************** and let me know what else I can do and to prevent this from happening to someone who doesn't recognize that it's a scam. Please help

They claim on one of publishers clearing house of 5 million and $500,000 but in order for me to receive that I would have to pay the IRS $2500 before they would mail me my check I kind of figured that it was a scam at that time because in order to win money you don’t have to pay any money and they were insistent that I had to pay a sold car registration fee of $2500

The caller asked if was at home or not because they were on their way with 2023 Mercedes and 7.8 million dollar check. I was asked to write down registration numbers and IRS number and repeat it back to him. When I declined, he got upset and I questioned why is there a rooster crowing in background and he disconnected the call. They started calling from number in New York and somewhere else. They asked if I was close to Walmart. I hope they do not have my address. He stated someone was on the way to deliver prices at the start of the call. I ended the call by saying I'm calling the police to report them. These are their numbers

(876)801-0506, (929)280-2808,(876)213-2334.

Left phone message on wife's phone. I returned the call and left a message for return call. Was called 3/9am to hear it was PCH and he was David Fischer. He informed me I had won 5.5 mil, $7000 a week for life, and a new Mercedes. "He" had his "secretary" send an email with details. $500 processing fee, and $10,000 IRS "Tax verification" FEE. I told the gentleman I wanted to look it over good. Went to my lawyers to have him look at it and he sent me to the BBB. I will have a nominal charge for counsel, and it wasted 4 hours of my time.
