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 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.

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.
