On Saturday, August 29th from a Robert Scott indicating that he was a representative of Publishers Clearing House and that I was a winner of brand new Chevrolet and 2.5 million dollars. He indicated that in order for me to claim my prize I would have to go to the bank and withdraw 1,400.00 and go to the Post Office to get a money order and send it to Norma Vawghn - 406 Dartmouth Dr., Haines City, FL 33894 and notate a prize code of 4332490USA on the money order, initially he indicated that he could come pick me up with the new car & go with me to the bank & Post Office. I asked him where he was and he indicated he was in a local motel & that the car was currently sitting on a flat bed truck waiting to be delivered and then change his story saying that he would not be able to come pick me up. He also provided another phone number of 850-359-4190 but I can't remember what that number was for. When I indicated that it was a Saturday & the bank was closed he became agitated. He called back this morning to find out if I had sent the money and when I indicated that I had not he became mad & cussed me out. When looking at the caller id on my phone this morning it indicated Kingston J.

That I had won 5 million dollars from publisher clearing house. Wanted me to get $17,000 to pay the taxes on the money. Asked for all my personal information. Then told me they turned around due to I couldn’t meet tax liability. When I said I would contact BBB, they hung up.

I would like to report a scam. It is Publishers Clearing House. I answered a call on my cell phone. A man said he had a prize box to deliver. He was an hour away. The phone number they have you call is 931-292-4851 Extension 9. Albert Johnson. I called the number. Wanted me to pay $950 for taxes. Told me to go to Walmart or Walgreens and wire the money. That's when I knew it was a scam. He asked how much money I had. I hung up. I did not send any money.

I received a call on August 11, 2020, 3:48pm from Publishers Clearing House saying I had won mercedes benz and over $50,058.00, plus I would receive $50,000.00 in cash and $5,000.00 a week for the rest of my life. His name was Bobby Six prize director. His badge # BS-0195 They were going to be coming with the prize. He asked for my name. He gave me my winning ticket # as 44945162. He said he IRS would be asking for 99%. He was saying when they come to my house I had to give them a claimers receipt of $487.00. This is where I stopped them. It sounded too much like a scam and I wasn't giving up any money. I am 80 yrs old but not stupid.

Constant calls, telling them about you can win their sweepstakes, you...send this or tell them that. Called PCH (The real company) and was told that was not their number. And beware of their tactics. 1-800-542-9453 is not a official PCH number!

Scammer stated that his name was Jeffrey Douglas and he was with PCH badge #3019 in Westport, AL. He wanted to know if I had received a package thru ups with information about my winning the PCH contest and that they would be arriving within an hour and half at my home to deliver my winnings. I knew it was a scam but I played along to see what the punchline was. I had won 3.5 million dollars, but because I was over 50 the company would pay 98% of the taxes, I would only be responsible for the other 2%. So I would need to go to Walmart and that is when I was going to stop him to let him know that I was onto him, but before I could get the words out of my mouth he hung up. Now, the phone number and name he gave me. The number came up as “No caller ID” on my phone. He gave me all that info when I ask him that if he was with PCH why it came up with no phone number. Please let everyone know.

These people are promising that we won $ 3,000,000. However, they are first asking we pay them $ 899.00 before we receive our winnings. Not clear why we have to pay to receive our winnings.

The caller stated she had won 3.2 million dollars and a new car. All she had to do was go to Walgreens and buy a $400 EB (?) card. Call the number back and let them know she had the $400 card. Once she tells them she has the $400 card they will come to the house and pick up the card. They would then notify Publishers Clearing House and they would come with the prizes. This is crazy having to give someone a $400 card before receiving the cards. Scamming a 97 year old woman is disgraceful!!!! Fortunately she calls me when this happens so I can report it for her or let her know if it is legit. I called the number and they told me the same thing to go get the $400 card and call us! I told her NO it's another scam on the elderly!!

He wanted my SS number, and my bank routing number. When I wouldn't give it to hm, he asked which charity I wanted the money donated to, when I wouldn't answer that either, he hung up.

Received a call from 876-298-1959 from a supposed Mr. David Johnson with Publisher Clearing House saying I had won 2.5million

dollars and a mercedes. It was believable because I enter Publisher's Clearing House prize entries. He was very professional, going

through what I had won, how I wish to receive the prize from their departure prize patrol. He asked a lot of personal questions but he

said I could pass on anything I did not care to answer. I passed on bank questions, owning home, annuities, etc.

He is very believable and leaves no stone unturned. Then the final statement is: You will need to purchase a $200 gold stamp

to prove that you are who you say you are and want to win. He goes through a very step by step process before the final "pay this amount".

He wanted to know if I am retired or still pay taxes. I did answer the last question for which I'm sorry. I suppose he can trace my social security number for which I am fearful. This is a very professional scam and believable. Please check out the number I gave you on my caller I.D. Thank you.

I received a call from Publishers Clearing House saying we had won $15 million. They would be here in 45 minutes with a new Mercedes Benz. Only thing I had to do is pay $8,000 before they came. They said they would show up in a UPS truck with our money and after we paid $8,000, when we said we didn't have that much money, they said they could take $4,000 but we would get that back. He asked which bank we used, if we kept any money in the house and how much, if we had a computer, if we had any other phones in the house. They kept me on the phone for 90 minutes. This is a scam
