Received video call on wife's phone asking for me. Told me I was going to receive $850k from Publishers Clearing House. Gave me confirmation code and tax code. Wanted me to read back tax code numbers- trn062414wa5021ej. I got thru some of them, then realized this was a scam to get my face and voice. Disconnected the call. What should I do now?

Publishers clearing house called and left a message "Bruce Roberts" won 2nd place in the monthly sweepstakes in the clearinghouse and to call back as soon as possible. Had a little bit of a different accent and it was quiet in the background. He let know that you won $18,000,000 and there was more money for doing other tasks. Gave a set of numbers to obtain the money and that Bruce would get in contact with FBI and IRS to obtain money and to deal with fraud.

Individual called and said he was from Publishers Clearing House and that I have won 7.5 million. He then asked several questions about how I felt about winning this prize. He also said I’d won a 2025 Mercedes Benz 460. All I had to do is provide 3 means of ID and buy a “money pal” card from Walmart, CVS, or Walgreens for $500.00. The PCH team would then pick me up and take me to my bank to deposit the check at which time I would give them the “Money Pak” card. Knowing you don’t have to pay money to get a prize, I told the caller I was going to check out the “money pak” card to see what it involved and I’d call them back. The caller said I needed to call him back within 20 minutes. I hung up and started checking, including my local BBB, which referred me to BBB.org.

Publishers Clearing House check was sent by mail from Canada and I was to call Richie Morgan chief financial officer. At 1-902314-3978. And again after depositing. We checked on the fake check with ***** ***** we went to see if it was legit. It was not. I am not sure what this person would have done had we called him back to tell him we deposited it in my acct. We will call him.

I received a letter in the mail 5/2/2026 stating I had won $750,000 from Publishers Clearing House. The letter also included a check for $8702.68. The letter says the check is to help toward paying taxes and processing fees. The letter tells me to keep this strictly confidential until the award has been deposited in my account. It also instructs me to deposit the check in my bank account and then immediately contact claims agent Paul Smurl at 718-239-2239. They state their office number is 518-239-2239

Letter in the mail to elderly person saying he won a no-entry required sweepstakes of $750,000. Recipient was told to contact his claims agent, "Paul Smurl," for method of payment. They said they gave him a check to "assist you with out-of-pocket expenses to enable your payment" (payment towards taxes and processing fees). It says the check can be deposited through ATM or inside a bank branch. The recipient is supposed to contact the agent immediately to start processing the remaining funds. (I read online that if you call, they will ask you to remit the funds from the check and then eventually, the check will be reported as fraud and taken back, so you've paid the money to the scammer and are out the money.) The letter also says to keep the award letter "strictly confidential until your cash prize winnings have been processed and remitted to your designated account." It further threatens that if you don't keep it confidential, you could face "double or false claims, identity theft and impersonation."

He wanted my information for Publishers Clearing House. I didn't give him any. I instead turned it around on him and told him I was with a company that was going to give him money. He willingly gave info I didn't write down. I then told him to not give out personal info on the phone and to stop trying to scam people. He got angry and threatened me. I told him to f off and hung up. He then called back and threatened more.

Scammer said I had won $2,000,000.00 from Publishers Clearing House of Charleston, WV. Said he was GM David Sawyer and he confirmed my address with the one he had. He asked my age, the name of my bank, insisted on the balance on my statement (I refused). He confirmed my name and address with the ones he had. He requested the spelling of my name, and said that I must send $9,800.00+ to the IRS in Larion, VA before I could receive the $2,000,000. I responded that I was not sending any money to anyone. He hung up.

I keep receiving calls from a foreign guy with Publishers Clearing House. He says I've won $500 million. He asked if I was married or lived alone. He said he was going to deliver the money, but ran out of time. He is supposed to call again today.

Contacted by Publishers Clearing House stating I had won when I had not received a letter. Would not agree to mail me a letter. Then the IRS called stating that I owed money against my assets because of the money I had won. I have no check or documentation of this.
