We received a call that my husband has won a Publishers Clearing House lottery prize of $3,500,000, plus $7500/month for life and a new Mercedes Benz car. My husband is an avid player of PCH contests so we actually answered the call,. After being told to press "1" for connection to a representative, there was a phone ring but no answer. We hung up, and quickly received a call back from a Mr. John Kelly, Sr. Vice Pres. of PCH. After a long conversation he sent an email with a large attachment. It was 10 pages of "documents" explaining that the ScamPulse.com highly endorsed our award, and congratulated us. It also informed us of fees that would be due to the IRS and the FDIC. In total about $20,000 would be due upon acceptance of the prize. The caller had a strange accent, possibly Middle Eastern. The errors in the alleged documents were what made me suspicious. There were numerous typos and grammatical errors, especially in the supposed letters from the IRS and BBB.

I received a friend request on FaceBook from an old friend and accepted the request. Then, a day after accepting the request, i got a private Facebook message from the same friend, telling me that she won $400,000 from a Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes, and my name was also on the page. She gave me a number and said to text it, and inquire. My curiosity got the best of me, I called the number but hung up. Then I was texted from that number and was given a webpage to go to. I clicked on it, and indeed my name was on it. But instead of going further, I called that friend, who confirmed that she was hacked on Facebook, and she had not sent me the messages.

I received a phone call from a gentleman claiming to be David Scott with publishers clearinghouse, he told me I had won the 2nd place of PCH, and my prize was 35 cashiers checks totaling 3.5 million dollars. He (David Scott)told me his supervisor Todd, would call me right back with some questions, which were how do I feel?, Am I happy about winning?, Do I want to receive the money publicly or private? Then he (Todd) told me if I told anyone about this phone call I would forfeit my winnings. David Scott called me 7 times from another phone number 876-774-9884, when I did not answer, he called from a restricted phone and left me a message to please answer the phone this is David Scott.I feel everyone should know about this scam, attempting to ruin I perfectly good business by trying to pretend to be PCH.Thank you, respectfully Janice Stokes

An individual called and said he was from the publishers clearing house, and we had won 1/2 million dollars, then he asked all kinds of questions about all our bills and credit cards, how we have done our shopping, did we own our house, our banking company and other questions. Then he told us to not tell anyone about this because they would take advantage of us. He said his name was Michacle Perkins, and they would deliver it on Thursday, July.

A man called my elderly mother twice, claiming to be the President of Publishers Clearing House. He had the President's name correct. He told my mother that she had won $5000.00 a week for life. He then told my mother that she needed to supply her bank information and social security number, and to pay a fee of $380.00

A phone call came to my parents house in **, - claiming they were Publishers Clearing House and that my elderly parents had won $3.5 million dollars. They left a voice message and gave their phone number as ** and said to ask for James at ext 1 and my parent's claim number for their money was **.

We called them back but they didn't answer. We called them because we knew it was a SCAM but wanted to see what type of game they were playing. The scammers called my parent's house back within 5 minutes.

It was a man saying he was from Publishers Clearing House and wanted to know if we wanted to collect our prize money of $3.5 million. He needed a 1099 form (taxes) and needed to know my parent's BANK. When I gave him a BS answer - he hung up on me. We recorded the phone conversation and we also have a recording of the phone scam voicemail.

*****my parents did NOT fall for this SCAM - however, there will be someone who does.

*****IMPORTANT - Do NOT ever give anyone your bank account number or any tax information. These scammers are TARGETING elderly people and wanting their bank account information.

I received a message on my cell phone from Publishers Clearing House. I won about $5.7 million. I called the phone number back. 917-999-5692. They wanted $3000 upfront before the money could be released and for taxes. He asked where I banked. I gave the name of my bank but not my account number. I also gave my email address. They also sent me an email. I realize it was a scam scam at first.. I did not send any money. I should not have to send any money if I won a prize.
