I was contacted via telephone that I had won Publishers Clearinghouse. They needed my bank account information so that they could deposit the money into my account. They claimed they could not send a check to me via mail because their postal service was not operating.

I got a call today from Jonathan White with Publishers Clearing House. He said I won $2 million, $5000 a week and a new car. He said the delivery is going to be today. He said they would ask me to sign a P14 form for the winnings. He gave me different numers to keep to show. He said I could also call 916-237-0204 if I had questions. He asked me to call back 620-263-0874. I've entered the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes.

I was called about 4:20 PM on 4/1/2020 by "Dave Sayer, Claims Department Manager" for Publishers Clearing House saying that I have won 3/5 million dollars and a bonus prize of a Mersades Bens C Class car. I was asked if I drove and if I had a drivers licence and if I owned a car. I was asked if I lived in a house or an apartment. I was asked if I was single, married or widowed (widowed). I was asked if I handled my own finances (yes I do) or if anyone else helped me with them (no they do not). I was told that I would receive my winnings on the coming Friday. I was given my choice of what kind of delivery of the prize I wanted. I said public. Conversation about the safety regarding the coronavirus COVID-19, etc. I asked what form the money would be in and was told by "cashiers check". I asked what time of day? Then requested that it be in the evening so that I could have my son present. I was asked if my son lived with me (no but lives near by). After 6 pm was agreed upon. I asked how I was to obtain the car and was told that it would be delivered at the same time as the prize money. I was also asked what kind of bank I used and if I had any investments with that bank. I was asked what kind of mail service I would use to send the car registration fee. I was given a call-back number if I had any questions (888-440-7380, ext.1). I was gold that "Dave" would be calling me back after he had confirmation that the prize money was in the Federal Reserve and available to be distributed to me. I asked for the phone number the "Dave" would be calling from (917-266-8569)

Received a call from recording stating I had won 2.5 million dollars in a powerball sweepstakes from publishers clearing house and a Mercedes Benz from a sweepstakes that started in 2002. they stated a phone number to call to claim my prize which would be delivered the next day. I called and a Abriam Johnson 702-746-3223 out of Vegas, Nevada he answered and congratulated me on winning the 2002 sweepstakes and told me that i had it pay the tax for the prize $3,000 with dollar store. he asked me if i could afford the tax, i played along and said certainly isn't it better a cashiers check but he was adamant that it had to be a 1 vanilla prepaid visa cards 6 in total each $500 and dont tell anyone because someone might follow me home from the store an rob me.

i would have to go to several dollar stores to purchase them. the store only allows 2/ $500.00 cards for purchase. I was to call him back after i purchased them at the number i had called. he asked how long it would take me i stalled and said my husband wasn't home from work yet.

so it would be at least an hour til i could use his car but as soon as i purchased them i would call him back. he said i needed to do it fast because they would deliver car and money to me tomorrow at my home and i was to turn over the cards to the driver , i said yea sure i'll call as soon as I'm done. i asked how i was to receive my winnings and he said cash, so i said you better get a real big suitcase . so within my hour stall i typed up this scam for all to see an i have no intention of answering my phone. i didn't give my address and he sure had a heavy African accent. i hope the poor fool doesn't wait too long for my call back lol.

My wife received a letter and a check from Publisher's Clearing House. Neither of us have ever entered a PCH sweepstakes or the check is from Bank of America and Colonial Life. It looks amazingly real. The check $5640 is to cover insurance and attorney fees. It also says not to share it with a third party. Letter mailed from Baltimore, MD with no return address. The security code I'm to use when I call the claims manager is TPCH457812.

Received a call from 876-843-2539, Robert Wilson, Publishers Clearing House. He said I had won PCH Sweepstakes. He shared his badge number 5011rw. He said I needed to make arrangements for a visit tomorrow. He asked if I wanted this to be public. I was to call Beverly Scott to register. I called, the message was that I did not have enough money on my account to make the call. I was supposed to add money to the account if I wanted the call to go through.

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.

Caller called himself Dave Sader. He said I won $1.5 million + a new cherry red Mercedes; but, first, I need to purchase a $350 ebay card. He said he'd pick me up in DeLeon and take me to get the card and then to the bank to give me my winnings.
