I got a Facebook IM from my classmate, saying I was eligible for a grant and to call a number. I called. She said she was a Born again Christian, Child of God, Angel of God, and she'd been sent to bring me a good gift. She wanted me to answer a list of 12 questions: monthly income, mother's maiden name, marital status, etc. She said she's really legitimate, sent me pictures of PCH prize winners. She said $150,000 was to be delivered to my house in a box from Publisher's Clearinghouse. I was told not to tell anybody about it. I was told to go out and buy a $500 Google Play card. Then she asked "Do you understand?", I said no. When I asked questions, she didn't answer. When I messaged my friend, she said it was safe, trust them. She said we're waiting for you to buy Google cards. I told them I would report them to the police. Everything was done through Facebook, and the grammar was awkward.

Received several calls from Mr. Michael claiming to be with Publishers clearing house indicating I won 550,000 & a 4 door 2019 Mercedes Benz C Class with the color of my choice which I picked red. When I was asking more questions regarding their company he indicated that Mr. Dave Sayers was the Manager for Publishers Clearing House. He then indicated that all I had to do was go to a Walmart and call them back at 876-372-7347 for further instructions for the Walmart to Walmart transfer of $290.00 & to include Control #9974992 on the transfer that would need to be sent in the name of Licensed Merchant Banker with the IRS. Once I completed the transfer they would immediately have someone deliver the check & car to me.

A restricted number called and said I won $5,000,000 and a new Mercedes. The man's name was Robert green and he asked me to call the number provided above and speak to a mark Lopez. When I called him he informed me that in order to claim my prize I had to pay a small portion of the taxes first. They asked for $800 and change. I told them they weren't getting any money from me and hung up. It sounded like he was talking to me over a 2 way radio.

Starting March 29 2019 I began getting calls on my cellphone from person identifying as Publisher Clearing house. Accent was thick Carribean. Number 876-858-0880, 876-884-1652, twice from a Private Number, and last night from Unknown number.

First calls, I knew immediately when they identifies as Publishers Clearing house they were scam. I politely asked to take of their call list. person calling from the 876# seemed to comply, but then I started getting calls from a different man from the Private and Unknown Number. He was creepy. After I ask to remove my number he would tell me my voice was nice and he likes hearing my voice. Last night he called and asked what I'm making for his Supper. I searched this site and see it has been happening to many people for a while, and the 876 is from Jamaica. I'm going to go there and find this creep and cut his tongue out, if he keeps calling me.

They claimed I won $3.5 Million and a 2019 E Class Mercedes. I asked for proof and to text me pictures to my phone. The number he (Mr. Schneider) just called. And hung up.

I called back using the number on my phone. Listed in Jamaica.

I got someone else. Said I needed to go to Walmart and contact a Nick Mason ?? Merchant credit services and get a certified receipt for shipping and handling of $60+ that would be refunded to me.

I told them I don’t want it shipped. I could pick it up. They said I have to show proof of payment first.

I asked why they didn’t show up at my door with my check like they do in the commercials and they said they will. I asked for proof of the award first. They said they would email it to me. I didn’t give out my email address. I said don’t you have that information? Mr JAMES said he didn’t have that information inky my name ohone and address. I asked him to verify my address and he hung up on me.
