Report

Scammers name is James Anderson and he claims to be with Publishers Clearing House. He claims that the person he is calling for has won a prize car and an unspecified amount of millions in prize money. That seems to change with every call. In order for someone to claim prize money, they have to “pay” for the prize money.

I got a call yesterday and 14 more today from a man, David Silvera, w/a foreign accent saying I've won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes sponsored by the ScamPulse.com and H & R Block. He said I won 3.7 million and a Chevy Malibu. He said I would need to pay $294 for a government stamp on the check. He asked if I wanted it advertised or kept quiet. He said I wouldn't tell anybody about this till you get your money. He told me to go to Walmart. He said I will be on the phone with you every step of the way, we will do this together. I said I can't believe it. He said well you're getting a lot of negative thoughts from other people. He said the people giving you negative advice are just jealous. He gave me the check number, and said I would get $7000 today. He said David Sayre, Andrew Goldberg and Barbara Gordon from PCH would be at my house with balloons and roses.

Called at 5am pacific time and woke me up. Told me I had won 5.1 million dollars and a Mercedes car. I told him it was rude to call so early and he said that he would call me back in a half hour. It seemed like he was trying to get me to say yes. I did not. I called the Jamaica number back and expected no answer but that same person answered. It has been over half an hour and no call back.

On my phone texting my friend and I got this message saying I won $200,000.00.  His name was Alex, please call him at 727-247-9858.  Called him immediately wondering how could I have won any money, I didn't purchase anything from Publisher's Clearinghouse.  Alex told me it was my lucky day, all I had to do was send him $400.00 either by purchasing a gift card or itune card.  Within 12 hours I would get my $200,000.00 by Brink Truck, Mercedes Car, he would deliver them personally.  Once he receive my $400.00.  That sound kind of fishy to me, so I call the BBB.

My dad keeps getting calls from someone saying they're with Publisher's Clearinghouse. They said that he won the jackpot of $1 million and a new BMW. They didn't ask him for money but asked him to open up a new banking account at his existing bank.

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent who said I had won a cherry red Mercedes and $5.5 million. I told him I played the PCH games years ago so there was no way this was legit. He said information stays in the system for 10 years which is how I won. He didn't say I had to send any money and then said it was all taken care of with the IRS too. Scam!

I received a call on my cellphone from a guy claiming to be with the Publisher's Clearinghouse. He said I had entered with my telephone number and that I was 1 of 149 people selected to win. I was told I had won 1.5 Million dollars and a 2018 Mercedes convertible. I was asked to stay on the phone with him and go to Walmart to pay the $400 processing fee. When I asked the guy where he was calling from he told me New York, New York but his number show's as Jamaica and he had a thick Jamaican accent. I explained to him that I never entered the sweepstakes and hung up. A few minutes later he called my husband's cellphone with the same offer except this time he wanted $500 as the processing fee. He is very convincing. When I said I would need to confer with my daughter he tried to urge me to just surprise her with my winnings and new car and that I should be independent and self reliant.

I received a call from someone claiming to be with Publishers Clearing House. Stated I won $2.5 million. They pay 99% of taxes through the gaming commission. Requested $399 upfront payment to pay 1% taxes. I would receive my check. Wanted me to send the money by credit card debit card or money order. Their phone number is 888-260-6811. My caller ID showed Publishers Clearing House. Phone number 800-542-9453. I did not send any money. I did not think it was right to send money to win a prize. Want to warn the elderly people.

I recd a call at 1:10 PM today from Mary Sider who stated I had won the lst prize of 2 1/2 million dollars. She gave me check claim no. 850077PC and pkg code no. US10000. She wanted me to pay a fee of $345.38. I questioned her about the fee and requested she send me information that prove they were legitimate. Mary wanted to send me info on my cell phone or computer or fax but I did not have any of those.

So she wanted to meet me at the bank that use and she would meet me there in an hour. She had accent and I could hardly understand her.

I decided to call the ScamPulse.com and found out the 876 area code was in Jamaica.
