They will call you and ask you if you remember filling out a form a year prior and will tell you that the call is being recorded and monitored by the BBB, Homeland Security, and the IRS. They will say that you won the 2nd place prize (where they do that at?)and you won 6.1 million that will come in a check. $5000 a week for the rest of your life and as a bonus they will bring you a Mercedes Benz when they come to your house but then they ask you your name. They tell you they dont know it because your number is randomly selected.

I got a phone message 4 days ago claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House. I finally returned the call today and was told they have someone coming over to my home today with my winnings. However, they first needed my bank account number and other personal information. I told them I was not comfortable giving that info and they pressed asking "...where is your bank?". I knew it was a scam and told them so. When I told them I would be contacting the ScamPulse.com they hung up the phone.

I received a call from an individual Mark Spencer with a claim number (19935456312USA) and confirmation number (20042021PCH), saying that I had won money but needed $199 for a registration fee in check or credit card form. They asked prying questions like, how old I was, was I on fixed income, and asked for my SSN and bank information. I refused to provide any details and ignored further attempts at contacts.

I got an instant message from my friend, who I haven't talked to in years. She told me to contact Derek Johnson with Publisher's Clearing House. He told me to keep it quiet until you get your money. He told me I won't need an attorney. He wants me to pay $550 to win $50,000. My friend told me to go ahead and pay it. He sent me a copy of her driver's license. I told him that I'm on Disability and I don't have the money. He keeps IM.

We received a call from a guy pretending to be from Publishers clearing house. given the name of james cooper - 877-354-2860 - they answered with PCH and asked me to push 5 and gave me a number number. This guy called again today and gave me his supposed office number to call him back by 3 today - the number there is 360-919-2449. They are telling me that I won something and a bunch of crap. asked me to pick up a vanilla gift card for $599. I knew it was a scam but wanted to pass along the information.

Told me I had won the 2nd prize from Publishers Clearing House ($3.8 million); also would be sent roses, champaign & wine, 2 cards worth $300 each (1 for groceries/1 for gas) besides my lottery win. Knew my name & my husband's name, our address and obviously, the phone number. Told him that I haven't subscribed to anything Publishers Clearing House in many, many years. He said they still had record of me from way back. However, I have moved since "those" days. I told him I thought it was a scam. He told me I was selected from a special senior list. Qualifications: I shopped at the local grocery stores, paid my bills on time, had no criminal record, and 74 yrs/+. He asked if I were writing down the additional items I'd be receiving. When I said no, he said to get a pencil and do it. After renaming part of the winnings, he left the phone. He didn't hang up, and I was still connected until I hung up.

Receiving calls from this number repeatedly multiple times a day.

I'm 82 yrs old. I've been approached a couple of times on FB for a government grant: $80,000 and $100,000. Theywere trying to help old people. On Friday I got a message on Messenger, and I was told that Publisher's Clearing House had chosen my Facebook profile as the best, and I'd won a million dollars, and I just had to fill out an application.

Multiple scam calls from someone claiming to be Publishers Clearing House.

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

I got a call from Susan Miller. She has an accent but she's trying to sound American. She said she's been trying to reach mefor 8 months. She said I had won Publisher's Clearing House, $2.5 million, a 2020 Mercedes Benz. She asked if I was married or lived alone. I said I was married, so then she started talking to both of us. She said God is with you, and God has blessed you. She was trying to keep me calm, pretending to be interested in my health, asking if I had eaten and taken my medicine, and asked how I slept. She told me to call Federal American Bank at 845-512-0205 to verify my winnings. I called and the bank verfied my winnings. She said I would need to get a cashiers check from my bank for $4,900 to pay taxes and insurance. Make it out to Alana Williams F and take it to bank and deposit it into account number BE50-50918 and they would get the money from there. I asked why it couldn't be deducted from my winnings, and she said because the fee had to be taken from another bank account. They told me I had to keep this confidential.

Supposedly, my husband was a 1st place lottery winner. It was very dubious/suspicious because my husband passed (he knew the name of my husband used/not full legal) and said he would send a document to prove it was legitimate.  I told him my background was in the legal field and I would pursue the matter if it is a scam. Hewanted me to print out the email he sent me WHILE he was on the phone - I denied it. I will maybe do it when I get back from work. He wants me to call back when I get home from work - I did NOT actually open the PDF but DID open the email.

Mr. Robert Walker from Publishers Clearing House called and said I had won $1.5 million dollars and a 2021 Mercedes Benz and $5000 a week for life. He gave me many different numbers to write down. He wanted to bring my prizes today. He asked if I was married or retired. I told him yes, and disabled. He asked if I had received a letter, and I said yes. He asked if I had returned it, and I said yes. He told me to go to my bank and get a Cashier's check for $890 to pay a fee. I said I don't have that kind of money in the bank. He transferred me to his boss Mr. Dave Sawyer. He told me to just go to the bank and tell them you need the money. He said they were brining it at 3:30pm, but the call came in after 3:30pm. He said it wasn't going anywhere it would be reimbursed back to me. He told me they work with the BBB. They both had accents.
