A friend was told she received $100,000 free from Publisher Clearing House. She stated that she didn't even have to pay it back. Said she saw my name on the list of recipients when her check was delivered to her. She gave me the number to call and told me to text them. Said they would get back to me immediately. Well, they did and were very pushy about me giving them my information. After checking with the ScamPulse.com I politely declined their offer. They were even more insistent that they were legitimate. See photos of their texts for details.

I told him I never heard of winning a prize like that and being asked to go to Wal Mart to pay $210.00 to get my registered receipt that had not showed up in the mail on Friday. I used my house phone to call my daughter and then my son and he heard the conversation and hung up on me. The Police Department gave me this web site to let others know. The only info I gave him was my address and my name. Hopefully that wasn't too much. My credit is bad so I hope they get nothing out of that info. They also told me they sent me a notification letter I should of received on Friday..

Someone saying they were with Publishers Clearinghouse called my cell phone saying I had won 3 1/2 million dollars and a 2019 Mercedes Benz convertible. They were very convincing. They told me all I had to do was pay $650 for a one time fee and they would actually come and pick up the fee to be paid in cash. I asked them if they could take the fee from my winnings and they said they could not do that. I then asked them for some paperwork to show all the details and they said they would email me information. In the meantime I called the ScamPulse.com who told it as a scam. While I was on the phone with the ScamPulse.com they called again and I when I told them I was on the phone with the ScamPulse.com they hung up on me.

I got a call a couple of days ago letting me know I had won Publisher's Clearing House. They gave me a number to call back. I called Dave Williams who told me to buy gift card for $500 from CVS. He said they were an hour out from my house. I went in to CVS and the manager said he wasn't sure if it was a scam. I said I don't have that kind of money. He said "You're not giving us any cash or anything". I hung up.

I got a call from Daniel he said he was with Publisher's Clearinghouse. He said I won $1.7 million. He wanted my bank card, so he could send the money ot the bank. I didn't give it to him because it's in my husband's name. Then he asked for my Driver's license number and my social security number so he could set up an account at the Laurelville Bank. I gave it to him. He told me to call him back at 816-535-9677 at 11am. He thought he would have the account set up by then. He had an accent. I could hardly understand him. I could hear others talking in the background. He's still calling. I called the Hocking County Sheriff's Department to report the call.

David called and told me that I was the latest Publishers Clearinghouse winner and sent me a text showing me the check written out in my name.
