The person name was supposedly,. Billy Ranking. Badge #BR07076. Claims I won $42 million, all I have to do is call the 1st bank of America at 1.480.336.8337 opt 2. You get a recording saying that there is a wire transfer but it has a hold on it. They give you a temp account #. 2960059 and a 3 digit PIN. The recording says that you have to pay 1% about $5500 or a minimum of $1000 to complete the process. I hung up. The 1st person, Billy calls back, asked if I completed the call. They could have my prize delivered to my front door in a brown and white van within 1 1/2 hour.but I have to pay the registration fee first. Told him if it was on the up and up I would give him my lawyers # and he would handle everything for me. I expected him to hang up, but he did not. Still tried to get any kind of money, told him when the certified cashier's check cleared thentheycouldhave their money. Wellyouhave to payfirst. Told him didn't have any . Told him I was going to report him. Didn't seemed phased by it. So I called you guys. The call back #he gave me for him was 1.876.451.4972. he gave a claim# and everything. I should have hung up in the beginning but was bored so I thought I'd play.

The only thing that worries me is I heard what sounded like he dialed 3numbers while talking. Should I be worried.

the person left me a voicemail saying that I won, it was either $20 million or $200 million. they, themselves were not publishers clearing house directly, but maybe a law firm? or something. the message was a little distorted. and, lol, the caller yawned, yes, yawned, while talking!! I'm not sure if this is on the up and up as I contacted you, the BBB, before calling them

My mother is 87 years old and has been scammed more times than I care to remember, she is a sweet lady who talks to people and thinks she is being told the truth. She gets calls this couple of weeks from David Greene, Publishers Clearing House says she has won 2 prize but she needs to send $1.99 to get the prize mailed to her. She told them she does not drive and cannot get to bank and they offered to send a cab to pick her up. When I heard her telling someone about her bank I wanted to speak to them. They hang up. I have taken my mothers phone this morning and gotten several calls from them trying to speak to my mother. They then say she won a car, I told them she can't drive and does not need a car. She she won something just mail it as they already know her address. They tell me they are unable to mail it without paying for postage which is why they want $1.99. I have told them repeatedly that if she needs to pay a penny, then we are not interested. I control her accounts for this reason. They want my mother to tell them again to not call her back. I am livid and want something done!. I have blocked every number they have used and most recently they used a local area code but when I answered call was transferred to a number I had already blocked.

I was contacted by a man who said he was representing Publishers Clearing House and I had won 2nd place in their sweepstakes. Since I had entered the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes, I thought it was a possibility that I had won. He said they would be coming to my house today to bring a cashiers check for 1.5 million dollars and a 2020 Mercedes. Sounded good to me until he said I needed to have a claimer card in my possession. I would need to go to Walgreen's and buy a Ebay gift card. That is when I knew something was not right! I asked how much and he said $350.00. I told him I would not do that so he gave me a phone number to call to verify that this was legitimate. That is when I looked up the publishers house website and it said they would never ask for money or a gift card. When they called back, I told them I knew it was a scam. He still insisted it was not but I hung up. Phone numbers used 916-237-0204 and 876-544-2545 Kingston, Surrey county, Jamaica
