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.
