Phone call to 90 year old woman. Identified himself as Dave Sawyer from Publishers Clearing House. Said I had won $2,500,000 and all I had to do was send $1400 to claim the prize, which would be delivered later that day by check/fed express. She was extremely excited to learn she had won the big prize since she had been entering the contest for five years. She almost paid, but was advised it was a scam after she consulted with a family member.

A man called Luciano Espitia continued to call my 83 year old father, stating that he had won money from Publishers Clearing House. But, my Dad had to send him express mail $400. He stated that my dad won $45,000 and that a lady named Lisa Miller would come by the house. He would have to have a receipt that shows he had sent the money, then she would give him the check for $17,030.30 from Wells Fargo and that my Dad would receive the rest in payments of $300 a month for the rest of his life. The check was to be mailed to: 2116 S. Concho St., Coleman, Texas 76834.

When I got home, the man called again, I told him to stop calling, but he continued 2 more times. He wanted my dad (who has lung cancer) to walk to the post office and send the check. I told him continually to stop calling. Finally, he got the message, but I brought my Dad's phone to work with me, just in case, he called again.

My Dad had an envelope made out to this jerk and was ready to send him this money, until I explained it was a scam.

Mr. Everton Johnson from Kingston Jamaica,WI He contacted me saying I had won the Publishers Clearing House but I needed to pay $500.00 I told him I didn't have 500. So I told him all I had was a hundred and he told me to just 80.00 because it was going to cost close to 20 to send it.

They then mentioned a sweepstakes and when I asked if they knew how a sweepstakes work they told me to [censored] off and called me names then hung up. Then within a few minutes, they called again and asked me the same line they did initially, I called them out and said I would report their number and they hung up.

Called several times to say I had won 2.5 million dollars plus a 2018 Class C Mercedes Benz automobile. Wanted me to open an email that they sent, after trying to convince me it was a legitimate call and email. My daughter was able to determine that it was a scam.

He call saying I won 15 million a new car and a truck load of furniture. But I need to open a bank account so they can send sponsor check to help pay the taxes off the money I won. They wanted to send me check and I cash it then send to the tax people. I got text messages and receive phone calls from four different numbers. I knew it had to be a scam because if you win anything from publisher clearing house u don’t have to do any of the things he wanted me to do

I received a call on my landline yesterday. The caller was with Publishers Clearing House. The phone number in my caller ID was 614-741-5983. Caller stated this is Publishers Clearing House. This is your lucky day. His name was Mr. Eugene Penton. I won $8055 and a new 2018 BMW. He told me they could award the prizes publicly or privately. If I did it privately I would need to go to the nearest Wal Mart & register for the prize. I asked why I had to go to Wal Mart. He stated that was their policy. He would stay on the line while I got dressed. He asked how long it would take me to get dressed. Call him when I arrived at Wal Mart. I was not certain it was a scam. I had just received a mailing from PCH. I told him I am nervous about him coming to my house. Told me he was a Christian man. He hung up on me. I called him back. I called Wal Mart and asked if people were registering for a PCH prize at their store. I spoke with someone else at Wal Mart. They did not do that at Wal Mat. He wanted me to pay $600. I never left my house. I did not send any money. It did not make sense to me. I said I don't have $600. He asked how much I had. I said oh really. He hung up. I wanted to report the scam.

I received a phone call today from a man claiming that I had won prizes from the PHC. He provided me with numbers associated with 3 prizes, a combination for 'the safe' and a package code. He then said that they would come to my home immediately to deliver the prizes but I would have to provide them with a western union or other type of prepaid check in the amount of $768.68. He asked if I wanted the event public with TV cameras and such or private. I told him that I was certain there would be no monies due in the event of a PCH win and that ended our conversation. He sounded quite scripted, as I am sure he was, but I could see someone falling for this scheme.
