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.

I was trying to check my son out of the hospital from having day surgery when I was called saying I had won publishers clearing house. I don't remember how much money and a truck. I did try to call them back and got a New York number and a number from Jamaica. I was still hooked but thought it was really strange that the man kept asking me if I was at home alone or when I would be home alone. But I always have my youngest child with me. Finally the man was asking me to go to Wal-Mart or some place to get a tax exempt money paper because they wanted me to western union them starting out at I want to say like $1000.00 but it went down to I want to say between $75-100.00. So I tried to call Wal-Mart and ask them about the paper I needed. And they didn't know what I was talking about. So I called a casino and asked them how if someone wins a very large sum of money how it was done with taxes. And as soon as I got off the phone with the casino I called the so-called sweepstakes people and told them I knew it was all a scam and if they ever called me or came by my house the County Sheriff would be called and never heard from them again.

I received a phone call from the Fake Publisher Clearing House. The man said his name was "David Harvey" and that i had won millions of dollars, and that all i needed to do was go get a $500 money order and call him after i got it and he would tell me how to send it, and to think about what color Mercedes Benz i want, as i would also get a car tomorrow when he came to give me a check. Something didn't sound right, and i was skeptical so i started to ask questions. The man knew i was disabled and he had some pretty detailed information on me. That's when i figured it was a scam and called the BBB-
