I'm 74 yrs old. I got a call yesterday from Publisher's Clearinghouse that I won 5 million dollars. He called me four times. He said his name was John Baker. He asked me a lot of questions, including my social security number and debit card number which I gave him. He asked for my credit card number because he wanted to pay it off. He asked if I was married or single. He asked if I wanted to keep it private or published. He said they would come out to my house and give me the check. He was very nice. He told me he was a family man and that he understood. He had an accent. He kept telling me he had to get paperwork done and that I would have to talk to another lady as well. I thought it was real because I see it on TV all the time. Then he wanted me to pay $1000 so they could pay their people. That's when I thought something was up. I've always subscribed to Publisher's Clearinghouse. So, I called PCH this morning and told them about the call. They said they get a lot of calls like mine. I called the bank and canceled my debit card. I'm on a fixed income and that money was like a dream come true.

I received a call first from Fake Publisher Clearing House over a couple of weeks stating that I have just won 2.5 million dollars but I would need to pay $999 to the truck driver when he delivers my check. They called back but the next time it was supposedly the ScamPulse.com a James Thomas (1-876-592-0391) that stated the Publisher Clearing House was waiting on me to claim my prize and I needed to call 1-702-508-2880 and speak to Mr Kennedy.

I'm 71 years old. PCH called and said I won 5 million, $7000 a week for life. They want me to open a new account with Bank of America, privately/confidentially and call them back at 917-936-3585 for the routing number. The man said his name was John Kingston and said he was calling from NY. He said if he couldn't be reached, I should talk to Peter Wallace.

Dave Sawyer called from Publisher's Clearinghouse to say I had won my 2.5 million and Mercedes. He said I could have $550,000 in cash. He said my confirmation number was pu ei43296 US. He said I had to pay $500 to govt for taxes on winnings. He said he was calling from his car, on his way to deliver it to me. He asked if I wanted to keep it private or published, if I was married or single, if I live alone. He said they already paid 99% of the taxes, so I just needed to pay one percent. He said they banked w/Bank of America. Sounded like people in the background. The number that appeared on my phone was not the number he asked me to call him back on. He wanted me to put the phone down and leave the line open. He told me to get a MoneyGram. He had an accent.

I received multiple calls from this number while away from my phone. I returned the call and a person calling themselves Jessica answered and stated they were from Publishers Clearing house and I had won their top prize for the day a certified cashier's check and a new car. They asked if I was home and stated my prize was to be delivered today. They asked if I had received a brown envelope in the mail notifying me of the prize. I responded no. The person went on to state that i needed to call a separate 800 number and speak to a manger named David Malone. The number given to me to call back was 876 793 9892 and they asked me to repeat it back. They also gave me a parcel # for my prize. Which was PCH 222 7002. They then offered me congratulations and asked that I keep my business private until the details of the prize were revealed at the next call.

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 tried to call the FTC but it has been affected by the government shutdown It seems like i am getting more of these calls since the shutdown began as they know the gov agencies are not funky staffed

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.

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.
