Check from Citizens Bank Miami FL for an account The Trustees of Reservations Boston MA for $6,900. My prize would be $2,500,000. Signer of letter Richie Jenkins. Signer of check D Russell. Good luck, these people need to be stopped!! Thank you!

I received a call from James Washington with Publisher's Clearinghouse. He says I won $8 million tax free, $5000 weekly for life and a new Mercedes Benz. He told me they would arrive in an hour to take me to the bank to deposit my winnings. He wanted $1499.21 in cards. He told me to buy the cards at CVS, Walmart or Meijers. He asked for a MoneyPak card. He said they are paper cards, not plastic. His number is 209-266-8796. He gave me a winning number and a claim number. He told me a lady he called had a heart attack she was so excited. He asked if I wanted to keep it private. He asked if I was married or lived alone. He had an accent, like someone who had a trach in his throat, he sounded like a robot, and I could barely understand him. He kept asking how long it would take me to drive to CVS and back, and when I said maybe an hour, he said he couldn't believe I didn't know how far it was.

He said he was David Moore from Publishers Clearing House. and he was alerting me to the fact that the Patrol that usually delivers the prizes would be arriving soon. I had won the BIG prize $4,500,000.00 plus a 2023 Mercedes Sportscar. Also an upgrade up tp $7,000.00 a month as long as I live. Confirmation # is 5856332119 and his badge # was PCH59905US. On several occasions I tried to tell him this was a scam. He assured me that he was on the up and up. At one point he gave me a phone # 646-969-0300 and suggested I call it and ask for him. I said NO that would not work, because anybody could verify that if they were working with him. He said OK then ask for Robert Nelson. Next he wanted me to print out something from my computer. I told him I couldn't do that because my printer was out of ink. He had my E-mail address. He suggested I go to Wal-mart, Staples or several other places. I told him I was miles away from all of them. I told him It would take hours. He needed me to filll out a P 14 form. He asked me some questions. Was I a US citizen, was I Married. What kind of a car did I drive? I've forgotten what my next question was that I ask, but he hung up on me. You have my phone # if you have any more questions.

He, the scammer, called my house phone and said I won second place in the PCH sweepstakes, and the prize patrol was in my state already waiting on me to go to Walmart and purchase a $500 secure spend gift card to cover 1% of the taxes (because they are covering 99% of the taxes). And I'm supposed to acquire this gift card and call them back at 585-628-1456 ext. 5 which is a direct link to the scammer who says his name is Dave Sayer.
