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.

Got a call from PCH saying I won the lottery from visiting one of the major merchandise stores such as Walmart or Walgreens. They told me that I won $25 million dollars payout and $3,000 weekly every Friday. I said that is a lot of money and I'm not that lucky, so I don't believe this is legitimate. They told me to call the number back and ask for extension 101 for "Sandra Davis" for the claims department. They provided a winning package number #EK5457895651000. They said to call the number and notify them that the delivery driver "Van Walis" is enroute on their way to deliver the check. They also said you got sent a letter notifying you of this win and mentioned a city nearby, but I have never lived there. So my scam radar went up again and decided to search the number after i hung up the phone and found it associated to this site.

My grandpa received a call saying he won $2.5 million and a new car. They would be at his address in 40 minutes. He was to go to Dollar General to purchase a prepaid gift card for $180. The person got very agitated when she was questioned by myself as to how legitimate this was and why she expected an 89 year old to pay that fee in order to "win" something.

Got a call from a number I didn't recognize and ignored it. The number called back, so I answered. He said I won a sweepstakes through a Walmart receipt, that was gonna get a giant check for the money, that I won a Mercedes Benz. I never gave my name and he never used it. When I said I didn't know what he was talking about and that he must have the wrong number, he just asked if I was the owner of this phone number. Said i needed a code and my claimer card to use my earnings. Started to give me a code but I hung up and blocked the number.
