I received another fake call form the PCH telling me that i won money but needed to go get a google play card to pay the "processing fee" they keep harassing me.

I received a letter and a check for 6,877.54. The letter said I won the Publishers Clearing House. It said I won 1,500,000 (1 and a 1/2 million).

I called like the letter said and they told me to purchase a green dot money pak scratch card from CVS. Then she said she scheduled them to come out at 3:30 that same day to give me the money. I asked why she wanted green card and she said it and along with my drivers Lic. they could prove it was really me.

I called a CVS and the nice manager told me that these green dot cards were used in scams and to be careful. I spoke to Alison White and John Carpenter. At least thats what they called them themselves. There was a total of 14 calls in 2 days.

Got a letter and check in mail dated November 19, 2018 from Peter Brown Publishers Clearing House's CFO asking to call Jerry Long or Linda Hall the Claims Manager to claim $550,000.00. The check enclosed was from SmartRG, Inc 501 SE Columbia Shores Blvd Ste 500, Vancouver, WA 98661-8071 printed on a check from the Bridge Bank National Assoc. 55 Almaden Blvd, San Jose, CA 95113 check number 4630 routing number 121143260 account number 854833974. Soon after receiving the mail out I received a call from Kevin Reeves asking why I hadn't contacted them about the money I had won, I called him a liar and reported them to the ScamPulse.com office... see the letter and check attached.

I received a call on Saturday claiming to be from Publishing Clearing House letting me know that I had one 2.5 million dollars, but in order to set up plans to get my money, I would have to go to cvs or walmart and get a $300 giftcard. They said that they had sent me something in the mail. They keep calling me, pretending to be various people (Michael Taylor and then later a manager), they've claimed that they're ScamPulse.com accredited, they claim to have businesses backing up their prize money. But they want me to give them the gift card number before I can get my prize.

Dale Page said I had won a large sum of money. Want to know if I had a bank account.

I got a call from Publisher's Clearinghouse. I couldn't understand what he was saying, so I called them back. I spoke to James Nelson who promised a check for $950,000. He transferred me to his supervisor John Snow. He asked for my names and asked if I would be home this afternoon to receive my Ford Pick up truck. He gave me verification numbers to give to the driver. He said I needed to keep it secret. He asked if I wished to receive the prize, but the call got cut off.

A man named "James Anderson" called on our home line, he had our name and address and obviously our phone number. He said we won a check for 1.5 million or a Mercedes E class car. He said we should do a Walmart to Walmart transfer to claim the prize. He was targeting my mother who is a senior citizen. She talked to him for a bit and then I grabbed the phone and gave him hell. Then he hung up.
