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.

My late husband recieved a check for 9785.00 from publishers clearing house letter scammer, stating this was to cover insurance and attorney fees. The letter states he won 2.5 million and you must call this number before depositing the check. This letter has canada numbers to call, new york address on letterhead and on the check Optum RX on Wells fargo account Really. these people are attempting to scam. I have the letter, check and envelope which all has different addresses and obvious scam

I received a call from Dave Seyers calling from publishers clearing house - letting me know that I won a prize of $7000 a week for life. He instructed me to drive to wal-mart to purchase a gift card. Dave told me to call him back (716-666-1552) once I got to wal-mart and he would let me know which card I needed to purchase. After talking it over with my husband, we decided it was best to call ScamPulse.com to see if this was legit. During the phone call he was asking several questions about our financials - such as do we have a checking or savings account.

Hi I am M***** and I was the victim and I am disabled. I was targeted by two men by telephone. One called his name Bill Foster he was just a worker under another man that called himself David Washington. They both claim to be from publisher clearing house. Bill Foster gave me information like this. I was the winner of a prize of 2.8million dollars. And a 2020 Mercedes Benz. He asked me what color and named the colors off. One was Pearl White. Which is what I chose. He gave me some number. 9092US. Then he gave me what he called a bar code number 706385. He said they were goin to arrive at my home by 3:00pm. I told him I didn’t live at home because I have snow storm damage to my home so I gave him my dad and moms address. He did say I was a second place winner. Then he says I needed to go to a store and purchase a vanilla gift card and put 235.00 on it. He says it’s to the IRS for a 11% claimed card. He ask so asked me if I wanted the prize to be private or like a popular where everyone knows. I said private. They also put raffle in the talk. Also State Department Of Texas in the conversation as well saying they had to get ahold of them to deliver the cash. Then he as well told me that the new vehicle came with free license and registration would be free for 6 years. And had in my car for 6 months. I could not understand the card thing so Bill Foster sent me to David Washington and he tried to explain the card again. I told him and the other guy I don’t have that kind of money. So I do have more photos but it only let me put one that I could see. I sure hope y’all get these cruel men. Thank you

Called and said we won $10K per WEEK plus car. Needed to update info, I said you have it on the form (I had no idea about the reality of that). I asked for his name and number (see below). He couldn't believe I hadn't heard of his name "Dave Sawyer". Said he wanted to be sure no scammers took advantage of us as seniors. At one point he called me "sweetheart" I said he had over stepped and it sounded phony, he backed off.

I said to mail me the form for the info he wanted, so he agreed and said there would be a follow up phone call. I even told him I was going to report him and he didn't hang up. It's still a scam. I looked online and found the same scam listed.

He said they had sent something in the mail declaring us winners. I said "not received", his response was "Oh my" must have gotten lost.

My Mom got a call from this person, Mr Michael Woofe. Stated that he was a prize delegation managet for PCH. When I asked where they were located....Las Vegas, 918 is Tulsa. They wanted my Mom to send x amt of dollars in ebay cards that she could buy from any dollar general or CVS...to send to them for the tax fee and then they would release her $5K /week for life.

The claim id he gave her was 502291/PCH

His accomplice Frank Lucas 409-220-0785....Texas area code.

James Morgan called claiming that that the consumer had won $40,000 to enter into a new bank account and was asked to pay 1%. Plus annual winnings and a new Mercedes. Badge # JM015933

Received letter saying I had won $2.5 million. They enclosed a check to cover insurance & attorney fees- $6,569.25. ???? I was a 2nd place winner in the Publishers Clearinghouse 100 Million Dollars Super Cash Giveaway Promotion. Never mind that I never entered. SCAM!!!!! Said you had to contact your Claims Manager before depositing the check. Also said that according to law you are not allowed to discuss your win with 3rd parties.... WooHoo!!! I'm a WINNER! Seriously- don't waste your time.

PCH cash reward 2nd place winner. New car (Mercedes E class, plus 5 million cash) enticement. Gave out package ID number plus confirmation number. Required purchase of a One Vanilla card for amount of $999.00 in order to "register with IRS". Went to Walmart and then to CVS in attempts to make purchase. Turned away @ Walmart and warned against @ CVS. Told phone contact that situation reminded me of movie Matchstick Men when he wanted me to go to my bank and then to the post office for another purchase angle. Contact was age related in my opinion.

I keep getting calls from a guy who said his name is Mark Johnson that has this foreign accent and says he is with the Publishers Clearing House. I asked about his accent and he said he lives in New York. He told me because I am a senior citizen I won $5million and a car. He wanted me to go to Walmart or CVS or Walgreens and get some gift cards so they could deliver my prizes. I told him I didn't have any money. He changed the amount several times from $500 to $100. I didn't give him any information and called the Better Business Bureau instead. They told me it was a scam and to not answer any calls that I don't know who it is.

Says his name is Dave Sawyer from publisher clearing house. That I won 5.5 million dollars but needs my debit card number to deposit the funds. Which I would not give out
