A man saying his name was David Moore. He said I won 1 million dolldars. and a Mercedes. He asked me to go to WalMart & send a $550 money to another WalMart to Gary Hitowner, from Indio, CA 92201 for a registration fee. He said I would get $7,000 once the transfer was confirmed and let him know when I got back to the car. I didn't do it.

consumer received a call from a man named James Peter, claiming to be from Publisher's Clearinghouse. He said that she was the winner of 2.5million dollars, $1500.00 per week for life. He gave a badge number he provided was B55811. He also said there was no money involved to receive the money, and he said that it was a legitimate call. He didn't ask for a bank account number. But he did ask how she would like to receive the money, and consumer stated she would like a check to come through the mail. Mr. Peter also said that she had also won a Mercedes Benz to go with her cash prize. He asked for her email address, which consumer did not give to him.

A guy who said his name was Whiteside with a private number on the Caller ID called and said he was from Publisher's Clearing House and I'd won a lot. I was to call aq Claim Dept. (number above) and when a person answered I was to enter my PCHID # and my Pin # which the caller gave me. I didn't call the number but called the Better Business Bureau instead. Publisher's Clearing House NEVER contacts people by phone. They show up at your door.

- Beatrice, NE, USA

Contacted by "Albert Davis with PCH". He said I had won a prize to be delivered and asked if I was at home. When I told him I was at work he gave me a confirmation number and told me to call when I got home. The phone number showed up on my caller ID as a United States number. I suspected a scam, but wanted to make sure, so I called the number and almost immediately received a text from my phone provider that my plan does not include international calls. Turns out, the caller was from Jamaica...a man with a different name answered, but sounded a lot like Albert Davis so I suspect it was the same person I spoke with the first time. He again said he was with PCH and I had won a prize. He asked my name, which I did not give, and when I questioned him about contacting me by phone and asked him to send a certified letter if I had won something, he hung up on me.

- Amarillo, TX, USA

I received a call from John Carter and he said he has a Publisher Clearing House check for him and said he will be by this afternoon about 4:30pm to collect the taxes for this money.

 Consumer received a call from Dave Sawyer who was claiming to be from the Publisher's Clearinghouse. He was claiming that consumer had won a 1.5 million dollar check that consumer never responded back to. He also said that consumer won a car and that they were on their way from Springfield Ohio to deliver the prize to her. He knew her address. The caller ID on consumer's phone said "unavailable". Dave asked her if she was sure she didn't receive any mail about the check. Consumer answered "yes", and then Dave said that someone must be watching her house and stealing her mail.

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.
