6 Phone calls from "Publisher's Clearing House" they claimed that they needed me to send them money in order to claim the check. Someone would be by in 35-45 minutes to provide the check. They would go with me to the bank to make sure it got cashed and that I wasn't laundering money. They also asked me if there was anyone else in the house.

My father received a call on his cell phone from a man stating he was from the Publishers Clearing House. He said his name was James Summers and that my father won a sweepstake prize. The first call was placed on August 5, 2019 at 8:35am. James called my father's cell phone over 18 times that day, allowing approximately waiting only 4 minutes before placing the next call. The calls went on for several hours that day. I'm not sure what day my father gave in and arranged to wire the $91 dollars to cover what James said were fees and taxes for the winnings. Unfortunately, my father also incurred internal call fees totaling approximately $350 dollars attempting to end the harassing calls from James. We have suspended my father's cell number with Verizon. I hope this information helps put an end to the scam.

Contacted today by scammer today at 9:30 am left a voice mail. Michael cooper 876-*** stated that she had won a package from publishers clearing house. He called back later and stated she needed to purchase a visa vanilla card for 200.00. Ask where she lived, what kind of car she drove, about bank accounts. She gave address and car info. She told him she had closed a bank account. She was to get 2,500,000 and a new Mercedes. She went to walgreens and purchased a card and gave him the account number, expiration date and security code. She told her youngest son and he told her it was a scam. I took the card back to walgreens and was able to transfer the money to a walgreens gift card. The card still had a balance of 200.00 when I used it. He had called back while I was gone and ask more banking information. Her son was with her and did not allow her to give any info. He is to call tomorrow and be here at 10:30 to bring her prize.

A woman supposedly by the name of Mary, called to tell me, that I had won $27,000,000. She did not speak good English and when I ask why she was calling from Jamaica, she said that they had lots of different offices, not just in New York. She said that the delivery could be made latter today. I told her she would have to swim real fast, to get here by then. She hung up.

I got a call allegedly from Publishers Clearing House saying I won money and a car. They said the check and car would be delivered to my home accompanied by a lawyer. They didn't ask for anything immediately but did say I would need to pay $199 with a OneVanilla gift card at the time of delivery. They also said they would accompany me to the bank with the check. After speaking with BBB, I called the real Publishers Clearing House and they confirmed it was a scam.

I got a call today from Albert Johnson w/Publishers Clearinghouse today. He said I won $4 million and Mercedes Benz. He asked if I wanted it to be public or private. I said public. He asked me if I really wanted people to come out and take pictures. He said it would be better to keep it private. He said not to tell anybody because he didn't want his men to be injured with all that money on them (when they deliver the money). He said "Aren't you happy to have this gift from God?" He assured me it wasn't a joke as he was a minister at his church. He said I needed to pay a one percent tax. He asked if I had a credit card, I said yes, but didn't give him the number. He told me to go to Walmart in Mt Vernon. He asked if my spouse was home and what he was doing today, and how many other people were in the house. He told me to call him back at 775-297-4449. He had an accent. He kept me on the phone for 20 minutes.

BBB STAFF AR 8/6/19

Consumer has received 6 calls from a business claiming to be Publisher's Clearinghouse, stating he won a "luxury prize". When he called the number back, the prize is so large, there was a fee to claim the prize. They also said they would call the consumer back with the cost of what it would be to claim the prize.

I received a call from a man, said his name is Alex Nelson badge # 1994, said he was with The Publishers Clearing House. He said that I was the winner of 3 million U.S. dollars, $50,000 cash and a brand new 2019 Chevy Malibu. He wanted to know if I was going to be home for the rest of the evening because they were going to deliver my package to me today, although he never asked me for my physical address. He said he was currently calling me from a city just north of the town I live in, however, the caller ID on my cell phone said the call originated from Jamaica and I'm located in the central U.S. The only thing I needed to do was immediately go to Walmart money center and make a one time cash transfer of $219.00 to cover the registration cost of my winning package. The recipient of this said money transfer is a man by the name of Mark Duckworth, address: 3040 N. Lakeview drive, Sandford MI, 48657. The man on the phone told me to call him back at a different number other than the one he called me on, 202- 871- 5852, just as soon as I made the transfer. He tried reassuring me that he is a Christian man and would never deceive anyone and that I could trust him.

He asked if I wanted to receive my prize privately or on TV. Wanted me to pay $1000 for taxes. He was coming from New York to my house. He said I could pay out of my bank account. He did not ask for account numbers. He said I could buy two Gift Cards. A Vanilla Pre Paid. for $500. Wanted me to go to Walgreens.I went to Walgreens to look into buying the card. The Clerk at Walgreens told me it was a scam. I would have to read the numbers off. I kinda thought this was a scam. I was not sure. My friend and I checked online. The real Publishers Clearing house does not ask for money. I told him it was a scam. He said to check with the Better Business Business. Their phone number is 866-330-1775
