I got a call from someone at "Publisher's Clearing House" saying I'd won 54.8 million, a car, and a washer & dryer. He said he'd already checked with Homeland Security and the BBB. I asked if I had to pay anything, he said nothing comes free. He told me I'd have to pay $4000. I asked if he minded if I shared this information with the BBB. He said he doesn't give a "***."

Today I received a call from a Dave Sawyers, 865-264-2372, representing Publishers Clearing House. He told me I had won $25 million dollars and a new Mercedes Benz. I asked how do I know this real? He gave me a #805-262-6034, claiming to be the Bank of America. I called the # and it was answered Bank of America and I pressed 3 as directed by Dave and was told $20 million was transferred to them for me. They gave me a transfer #20560772. The number also said that my telephone no was verified! Dave wanted me to call him back after the BOA call. I did and he wanted to stay on the phone while I went to the bank and then to Krogers for a Western Union transfer. I was advised by BOA recording that I had to pay 1% of winnings, which was $2000 or $850 or make pmt plan. Money would transfer after money paid! I almost fell for it. He even claimed to be a godly man!!! Please don't fall for this very elaborate and thought out scam!!!!

My son answered the phone, and gave it to me. I just had a long conversation from a guy who said he was Publisher's Clearinghouse, and I won 2.2 million dollars. He said I know your legit because I just talked to your son. He said the winnings would be from JP Morgan Chase. He said I would have to secure $900 for taxes. He was bringing me 1 million today. He wanted me to go to the bank and call him. He said Todd Sloan would be coming to hand me the check. He sounded so legit. He rattled off a lot of security numbers. He asked the name of my bank. I told him I couldn't go to the bank, the Hospice nurse was here for my husband. he asked how far I lived from Cleveland, and how far I lived from the airport. He said three people would be coming to my house today.

A man named John Green called me from this number claiming he was with Publishers Clearing House. Said I had won 10 million dollars and a new Mercedes which was on its way from New York to my house. He was quite convincing saying that all I had to do was pay $500 to cover the expenses of the getting the car here and that was it. He instructed me to go to Walmart which I'm guessing he was trying to get me to Western Union him the money. Sadly so many people fall for these scams but I'm not one of them.
