Phone rang and I answered caller ID said Jamaica, this man said hello and said his name was John(can't remember his last name). Then he said he was calling from Publishing Clearinghouse, spoke for a minute and then he asked if I had ever got a call from PCH, I said yes and it was a scam, he got angry when I said that you shouldn't have to pay for something that PCH has said that you won, like the lottery you pay the taxes after you win and they take it out of the check. Then John got really angry and started using very ugly CURSE WORDS and they were some of the worse CURSE WORDS I have ever heard. I want to know why someone can't stop these people from harassing good citizens, I don't have a phone just so some bad people can call my phone and talk like that to me.

I received a call from Andrew Anderson badge number 422 with an Indian accent called and said I won $2.7 million with the Publishers Clearing House and I should have gotten a golden ticket in the mail.; and I needed to go to the post office and get a money order for $500 and send it to Kathy Carpenter in trackable mail to 550 Huion Rd New Topal 36352 and put reference number 9090244449. He said he was going to call me back so I could give him the tracking number. When he told me to send him money I knew it was a scam. When he called me back I told him I couldn't find the tracking number it must have flew out the window. He called me back a couple more times and was angry with me because I didn't have the tracking number. I haven't played Publishers Clearing House in years.

Called saying won publishers clearing house to purchase 2

visa gift cards 1 for $199.00 2 for $100.00 and said to pay 1% of taxes. The total was $1450.00 we were to direct deposit into bank of America. After talking to bank and police we figured out it was a scam. They started spending the money on visas but we quickly recovered them.

His name-FRANK MARTIN-ID#707.his manger JOHN TAYLOR, the lawyer MARY SMITH, amt. won 3.5 MILLION ,2020 E CLASS MERCEDES. Also gave a package # and tag # for car. Ask if wanted presentation public or private. Then came the pitch about the IRS want their share and PCH paying $5000. of taxes and me paying only 1% which came to only $300. I was to get a card (could not get a clear understanding about this as to type, how to get ,etc.), but when I gave them the card for the taxes the lawyer was to give me $300. He also wanted me to stay on the phone until they got to my house. He said IRS & ScamPulse.com was aware & tracking.Did a check on the # he called me from (228-200-1206), it is a Ms. # ,& listed as "a scam or unsafe #"

Said his name was Paul W******** Second phone # read JM Kingston I had won the P.C. H. sweepstake's. But he needed $999.99 to cover the Government Stamp that needs to go on the check for the Bank's to accept the P.C.H. check.

He ask for my husband. But talked to me. Than ask if we had entered the P.C.H. sweepstakes.

1St off The P.C.H. sweepstakes entered are in my name, not my husbands. and why would he ask if we had entered? gave me a second # to call 876-340-9953. Ask me to call him back today the 6th about the $999.99 and what time I would be Home.

So is this a scam or is it reel?

I received a call from someone who said they were from the PCH and that I had won a large prize. But in order to claim the prize I need to go to the post office and purchase a money order for $650 and overnight it to them to an address they would provide once I had the money order.

I called PCH and they said that they would never call me or ask me to send money.

A man calling himself George Williams is blowing up my husband and my phone. He says he is with Publisher's Clearing House and my husband and I won $2.5 million and a 2020 Ford F150. The scammer says we will get $7k a week for the rest of our lives. He told us to go to post office with cash and mail it to Dorothy Weeks in Hillside, New Jersey. I am outside the post office now and called the ScamPulse.com for help.

The phone number is popping up as in Jamaica . I live in Junction City, Arkansas.

I received a Facebook message from a friend regarding a PCH grant he received that I might also be interested in receiving. He gave me the link which I texted and was connected to another person thru FB messenger. Realizing it was a scam I exited FB messenger. They then texted me on my cellphone which I didn't respond to. The scam texted was sent from 281-325-0585. I did call my friend back who said he was hacked and that the hacker got his FB messenger list and that was not him that messaged me but was the hacker using his identity.

My parents are 95 and 93 and they are receiving phone calls from Eric Johnson at the Better Business Bureau. He can be reached at 623-246-8385, x. 101. He says they are making sure the winning presentation for my father is on the up and up. He wants me to call Wells Fargo at 323-499-3093 and choose option two to direct me to the appropriate department for the winnings. Then I'm to call him back about the presentation, and how they want to receive the winnings.
