I just emailed to a Publishers Clearing House Agent recently to let a Publishers Clearing House Agent know that I got scammed by fake Publishers Clearing House for the first time after I received a fake winner confirmation in the mail telling me that I'm a $1,000,000.00 winner with developmental disabilities for the first time 13 years ago.

I received multiple calls starting yesterday from a company claiming to be from publishers clearing house. They gave me a code 000157YB and told me I that I needed to call Mr Albert Johnson at 1-876-416-8541 they informed me I was the PCH grand prize winner of $6.5 million, $5K per month for life and a brand new car! What a deal!! They just wanted me to go to Walmart or Walgreens and get a $1k Amazon gift card that I would need to give to them on delivery of all of my prizes. So I told them I felt this was a scam and not interested and wouldn’t go get the gift card. They called countless times trying to convince me it was legitimate and for the $1K gift card they were going to deliver all my prizes from PCH in person to my business So this morning they started calling again. Again I told them I was convinced it was a scam. At this point they told me again it’s all legitimate and all being controlled and phone calls recorded under ScamPulse.com &IRS regulations. So I told him great I’m a ScamPulse.com member so I will call them for confirmation of legitimacy. They hung up instantly and have not called again

I received two calls telling me I just won $750,000 from PCH. All I would need to pay is $3,100 for fees and processing.

Received a call from Publishers Clearing House. The gentleman told me that I had won the Publishers Clearing House and they were going to come to my home and deliver my new car and prize money. He asked me how old I was, where I banked at and if I had any stocks. He told me I would need to send him $4,500. I told him didn't have that much money and he asked me how much I could send. I told him that I am not paying anything and said if I needed to pay I could pay it out of my winnings. He told me I couldn't do that. I told him I thought this was a scam. I called the Publishers Clearing House and they confirmed that this is a scam.

The scary part was that he knew my full name and address.
