He said I won the Publisher Clearing House prize of 18.5 million dollars. He said to set this up I would have to call Bank of America at number 8772969834 to get the account number for the 18.5 million dollars. He also said a team of Clearing House people are coming by the house to congratulate my family and I and would be giving us some roses.

I know it’s a scam, because about a year ago I fell for it, up to a point. They conned me out of 2 $100 Visa cards. I don’t remember why they needed them. I had also won the PCH sweepstakes at that time. Even when I quit responding, She kept calling and emailing and her name was Deborah Holland. The same name on the letter I received today!

This time they sent a check for $7,800.45 to assist me with out of pocket expenses. Call my claims agent Jerry Price, for method of payment. Of course, I’m not supposed to discuss this with anyone and keep the letter confidential.

The first time it happened to me, she called me and said I had won a new car plus the PCH sweepstakes. She called so many times, I will never forget the sound of her voice.

John Sloane was the name given. Said I'd won 4.8 million plus other prizes.wants me to get a money order for 650.00 to send to an address in New York, BEFORE the prize patrol can deliver my prizes to me. I guess he wants the number on the money order receipt to get the cash. He's spent a lot of time with me, and he wants me to call him back when I get the money order receipt. Scam much???

I received 2 calls claiming that they were from Publisher's Clearing House and that I had to submit money to Better Business Bureau in order to receive my prize winnings. They told be to submit to ScamPulse.com because ScamPulse.com supposedly required verification to ensure cartels and fraud were not involved. The scammers told me I had to send $2,500 to a New York address but I figured it was a scam so I called the ScamPulse.com and they verified they are not affiliated with prize winnings for any sweepstakes and do not require/process payment for consumers to receive prize winnings for sweepstakes.
