In the phone call I was told to send $3000.00 to PCHOFFICIALSERVICE @mail.com. in order to verify postal service protection for the coming check to prove who I was. I refused to provide that type of identity. He asked if my bank was close to my home. I said yes. This made me think he could check with the bank somehow and still access my account at bank, thinking he could locate local banks in my area, use my name and begin a fraud. I called bank, and they said he could not get that information. Still suspicious, I decided to report it to you...as a fraud..... what do YOU think?

Company claimed I won a sweepstakes and wanted me to mail money to receive payment from them. They managed to obtain my mailing address from both of my properties and attempted to persuade me by sending gifts and telling me to be home for their arrival. They have sent me two checks wanting me to add them to my banking account. I contacted publishers clearing house and they had no recollection of me winning anything.

Told my 86 year old mom that he was from Publisher's Clearinghouse and went into details about her "winnings". After 3 phone conversations with that man, then a lady called and pretended to be from my mothers bank fraud department and had her open her bank account online. Then she tried to trick my mom again by having my mom try to speak her info to a recording device on the scammers side of the phone call. Two weeks later the same guy calls back to try again. Then three weeks later a completely different man called with the same Publisher's Clearinghouse scam.

I was left a vm from someone claiming to be PCH claiming I had won 25 million dollars from playing the power ball lottery.

I spoke to a man who gave a name and a claim number.

I was told that I would need to pay a registration fee, as well as a fee for a gold eagle stamp for the check to be processed through my bank account.

I asked for documentation to be sent to me and it was.

It appeared very realistic!

I couldn’t pay the money but got more calls until I explained I had no means to comply.
