I received a phone call telling me that I had won $3,500,000 and a Mercedes car on the PCH sweepstakes.He gave me the name of Robert Jones and told me I needed to pay $1300.00 for insurance in order for them to deliver the money and a further Transfer fee of $800.00 which was to be a money order with the payee left blank and sent to David Scott at the above address. Before I realized that this was a scam I had provided the name of my bank, my age, my email account, my address and private cell phone number.

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!!

I got a call from Andrew Goldberg with Publisher's Clearing House. I was told to call: 800-421-7597. I called, and a man, David Sawyer, with an accent said I had won Publisher's Clearing House said I had won $2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. 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.

A man by the name of David Carter called today stating that i won three million dollars and 2 brand new cars. But I would need to pay a processing fee to receive the money. I called my cell provider and let them know that i was scammed because the call came from a Jamaica number

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

The only catch was that she needed to get a prepaid card with 492.93 and the money would be wired to her. I mentioned that I would be calling ScamPulse.com and to just hold on the line while I spoke to someone they immediately hung up

I received a phone call from UNKNOWN this afternoon. The man indicated he was in Bloomington, IL and wanted to know how far away I lived from there. He gave his name as Frank Willis and said he was an agent for Publishers Clearinghouse. He said his ID was FW4001PCH. (He had asked me write down all of this information including today's date and time of phone call). He said I'd won 2 place in PCH contest and the check would be delivered to me by UPS. Their attorney is Mary Walker. She would be handing me the check and the keys to a new Mercedes. The check # is 00719676000; the package # 5523655236; the confirmation # 9162370204. He said his company is approved by BBB, Homeland Security, and Chambers of Commerce. He said there would be a Delivery's Invitation that required an ID from me such as a driver's license and I would also need to write a check and photograph this check which was to be in the amount of $199.99. At this point I disconnected.

I will say that for an American-sounding name, Frank Willis had a peculiar accent. Not an accent I could recognize.

If this call was a hoax as I believe it was, I wanted you to know. Thank you.

I am 74 years old. I live alone. On 4.28.20, I got a call from Jim Kingston, saying I had won Publishers Clearing House, I had won 12.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz, and $5000 a month for life. He said do not let anybody know what's going on. I began mailing certified checks overnight express thrugh the US Post office and FedEx to Kenneth Williams, 79 Radar Circle Rd, Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870. I sent $36,131. He said Mr. Williams was associated with the Certified Merchant Bank. He was collecing the money and would release the prize for delivery. He said the fees were to cover the costs of storing and delivering the car as well as its' title, and auto insurance for a year. I told him if it were a scam, I would file a complaint with the government. He said I couldn't do that as he has taken all legal steps. Originally, he said I would only have to pay $2,500 to get it. I paid, On May 26th he said he would $11,000 for fees to get the money. He was calling 3x a day. On June 4th, I paid $9500. He asked me for my Walmart credit card to buy three Android Galaxy phones, when I received the phones I mailed the phones onto NC. Then he ordered 9 more, which Walmart canceled. After paying them the $36,000, on June 18th he said he needed an additional $25,000.00. I said no. He said he'd been doing this for 15 years. I gave him my bank routing number and bank account number. I also gave him my Discover Card number because he said he would pay off that credit card, instead he took out a large advance. On June 19th, he called 17x. I have filed a police report, and reports with fraud department at Key Bank, my CPA, the FBI, Inspector General, OAG, LIfelock, US Senate Committee on aging, and FTC. The Columbus Police said they would subpeona the bank for the checks and the camera recordings. I took out cash advances against my credit cards to get teh money to pay the "fees".

He wanted me to drive to KC to collect the prizes and then go to our bank with the PCH people to deposit the check. He said their lawyer was Mary Lee and she would also be there. When I asked how soon is he going to ask me for a check to cover taxes, he said, have you been called before. He then said he needed to get a call that was coming in from UPS.I hunged up,cheked the internet to see he is a scam that's when he called me back. I told him I was wise to his scam and thanked him for wasting my time and hunged up
