I received a telephone message that I am a second-place winner of the PCH sweepstakes. Please call 845 405 8271 and use code # 9475 for further information. I called the number and spoke to (foreign-sounding) Dave Sawers, who said my prize is $950, 000.00...$5,000.00 weekly, and a 2020 white Mercedes Benz. I should go to a Walmart, Walgreens, and named other outlets, to buy a $500.00 VANILLA ICE card TODAY. Then call back today and someone will meet me and exchange the card for the $950,000.00 check and the new car.

Mr. Joe Riley called and said I was the #2 prize winner from PCH. He asked if I was home and said someone would bring my prize at 3pm. First, I needed to put $375 in an envelope (and get a government receipt from Walmart) addressed to: Shemar Amory Rattray in Miami Gardens FL 33056. He told me not to tell anyone.

They promised us 2.5 million + 25k p/week if we'd register for the proper presentation by sending them cash vs a money order of 1.5k+ inside of a magazine, couched between 2 additional magazines.

I received a phone call stating I won $11M & $5k a week fo 5 months. I just needed to go to Walgreens or Dollar General to purchase a gift card for $385.25 to pay the taxes, then someone come to my house because they had someone in the area & I would then be able to claim my prize. They wanted me to get in my car right then & stay on the phone with them thru the whole transaction. I told them I couldn't leave the house right then & I would call them back in 30 minutes. This allowed me time to do some research. The phone number I was given to call back was 915-671-8227 ext 5 - Jerry Morgan.

Ovella Post consumer called to say that the callers are harassing her, tell her they know where she lives, know what her car is and what her house looks like and what flowers are on her yard. They tell her not to open door because may want ot rob her of the $200,000. Daughter says all info is correct.

Got to bank and open account to deposit winnings. She needs to put $250 in that account. They will supposedly put her winnings of $200,000. in that account. She also won a Mercedes Benz.

James Anderson called saying he is a sales agent for Publisher's Clearing House and that consumer was in second place to win a prize. Asked consumer to confirm name and age. The prize is 2.5 mil with a Mercedes. James said consumer needs a stamp to confirm she is a winner, and the stamp costs 750 dollars. The money can be made out on a check to James Vurrell (of the IRS) and mailed to Oklahoma.
