I'm 72 years old and my wife is 71. She got a call this morning from Publisher's Clearinghouse saying he won 5.5 mil and a Mercedes Benz, we were told to call a second number so they could deliver it, they wanted to know if someone would be with me, she said my husband, he asked to speak to me, she said he's not available. He asked "Do you remember getting the registration card, would you be able to come to NY to pick up the prize?" we said no. He said we had to register and pay the registration fee. He said to pay with Western Union. At first he said $4395, then he said $300 the call came from Kingston, Jamaica. They answered "This is PCH". The first person who called, said his name was Dave Sayer, and the second said Mike Myers. Dave spoke very slowly to hide his accent, but Mike Myers had a definite Indian accent.

He tried to get my bank account number. I did not give it out. I knew the entire time it was a scam. When he asked for money I knew right then and there it was a scam. I thought it was strange that they had American names with foreign accents. David Peterson gave me their phone number 562-317-1508 X05. I called the number. He answered the phone. Said I could check with the ScamPulse.com. An FBI agent was with him and a Treasury Agent. I gave the phone to my husband, They hung up. I had said I don't have that kind of money . $480.

A fee I had to pay to receive my prizes. It was not for taxes. He asked if I had the money. He said I am going to get you a sponsor and send me the money. I then send it to them. I played along. I knew it was a scam. He told me he called the ScamPulse.com and the Treasury to confirm the prizes. He gave me password ginger. I do not recall what appeared in my caller ID. I did not send money or give any personal information.

I was at my 90 yr old mother's home, and I got 4 calls today from a guy, James Jeff, and later, James Jefferson, with dogs barking in the background, with a slight foreign accent, said he was with Publishers Clearing House. He said I was a second prize winner, 2.5 million and a Mercedes Benz C Class. He said I have to pay 1% tax which is $18,000. He said they were bringing it today, the Benz was on a flatbed to be delivered. He said they would deposit my winnings into the IRS Board Merchant Account. He said he would never scam me, he was a Man of God. He said there was a reason why he was calling, that my life was about to change. I told him I could not go to the bank. He was very convincing. He said he would escort me to the bank to insure the check was legal. The phone numbers had JM after them. He said he personally would come to the door now. He said if I come to your door, will you shake my hand and apologize to me? He hung up and called back, and said he'd called the IRS Board, adn I only needed to pay $9000 upfront, and $9000 after the check is deposited. I said I don't have it. He had my mom's address. He asked if I wanted to keep it private or have it publicized. I told him to bring it on out, and he could get the fee after I get the check.

I got a call from someone named Betty Parker who said she was with Publisher's Clearinghouse. She said I won $500,000 and they would come to my house and deliver it with a certified check. She said the code would be 1123 VP and I wouldn't owe them any money. Betty said she would call me back within the hour. About 2 hours later I called her because I hadn't received a call. The line said it was a text line so anything I said would show up as a text message. I figured it was probably a scam then but called my bank who said to call BBB. ScamPulse.com confirmed that it was a scam.

I have been receiving calls on my landline. The caller claims to be with Publishers Clearing House. The phone number in my caller ID is 876-585-8766. It shows on my TV. He states I won a Publishers Clearing House Prize of $25,000. He wanted me pay $100 to collect the prize. He did not say how he wanted the money. I realized it was a scam when he wanted the $100. I should not have to pay a fee to win a prize. The prize should be mine. I sent no money. I have had calls from Publishers Clearing House before. I know better. I am not going to fall for it.

A man named Robert Anderson called me and said I won 8.3 million dollars and $50,000 a month for life. He asked me if I had ever won a prize and I said no and started laughing. He got irritated with me when I laughed and said he wasn't a scam. I hung up afterwards. He called me back and asked why I hung up on him and sounded very mad. I figured a man who's giving away winnings wouldn't sound like that so I hung up on him again. He called me back but this time I just let my machine get it and called the BBB.
