I received a call to my cell phone. The woman stated she was with Publishers Clearing House. She had a check for me $1.5 million and a new car. I would receive payments for life. I was instructed to call 876-594-6396 speak to Mr. Goldstone. . She was calling from 876-520-8130 in my caller ID. I called 876-594-6396 on the outside chance it was true. A man answered. I asked for Mr. Goldstone. The same man that answered got back on the phone. He asked if I had the ability to get a bank check for about $800 to register with the Government. He also mentioned wiring money and something about Walmart. I did not send any money. I started question him. He said I can see we cannot go through with this and hung up on me.

this is my second time around. yesterday (may 2, 2018) i was notified by a phone call (from a "private number). i was informed that i had won 2.5 million from playing the mega million lottery!!!

and today, may 3, 2018, i received a phone call from the publishers clearing house!! I had won MORE than 2.5 million dollars!! but, as i had not responded to the (apparently mailed) letter notifying me of this grand win, they would now have to "reprocess" the check. and to ensure my identity and pay for the reprocessing i would have to pay $299.00. and after the money was received, they would schedule the fleet of limos (one of which would be transporting 3 lawyers) to personally deliver the check to me!! two wins in two days! ... i think NOT!!

just as the IRS NEVER conducts any form of business over the phone, legitimate lotteries and sweepstakes NEVER require a fee before delivering your win!!

I received a call on my home phone yesterday. The caller stated he was Peter Goodman with Publishers Clearing House. He had a foreign accent. Me caller Id showed out of area. He stated I won $3.5 million and a 2018 White Mercedes Benz S Class convertible. He gave me their headquarters phone number 516-217-3017 and address 101 Winners Circle Port Washington NY 11003. He gave my previous address. I asked why he had my old address. He put me on hold and gave my correct address. He gave me the three names of the prize patrol people. I would be getting a certified check from Bank of America. I was on the phone with them about an hour. I knew it was a scam. They were coming to my home on May 7 to deliver my winnings. He suggested a private winning. He rested $3885 for the 2% taxes. they pay the 98 percent. He instructed me to go to the post office and overnight the money to Wilbert Johnson 1989 Highway 32 West Ashdown Arkansas 71822. Would have to be a money order or personal check. I was to call when I arrived at the post office. I did not send any money. I know it is a scam. I told them I don't have that money. He said we could take $1000. He said previous winners could front the money and I would pay them back. He said we do it all the time.

A man called by the name of David Sayer from Publishers Clearing House, stating that I had won cash and a car. He told me not to share this with anyone until I had received the money and car. He stated that before I could receive my prizes, I must first send $2,500 to pay the IRS taxes on my prizes. He asked if I had a savings and checking account and if I had a cell phone. When I told him I don't have the funds available he said he would be calling back daily to check.

This is the second time I received a fake check with a congrats on winning $. This one I received today sent me a check from Symetra Life Insurance Company in the amount of $6535.00 for insurance & attorney fees. The letter states I won 500,000 from Publishers Clearing House sponsored by Readers Digest, Mega Millions & Multi-State Lottery Association. I have to call the number above or 416-726-0493 before depositing check. It states prize information must be kept strictly confidential as required by state and federal laws. Last time I called the bank on the check because it seemed suspicious. The bank said the business on the check was not aware of anything. It was fraud and when confronting the scammer representative on the phone they became rude and vulgar. Now I’m constantly receiving phone calls from different U.S. #’s, but mainly Kingston, Surrey County, Jamaica. When I refuse the winnings & tell them to move on, they curse me before they or I end the call. They continue to call. The calls are less frequent now-about once or twice a week, rather than 3 times a day. I think these letters may be affiliated with the calls because they sometimes ask me if I received a letter they are following up on. I’m reporting this to you because of the fraud & harassment.

received a letter post marked Nashville, TN. no return address. In the envelope a publishers clearing house flyer stating I won $500,000.00. and a check for $6,385.00 (see pic) called claims manager, caller ID showed Toronto, Ont. and a woman answered, didn't identify herself as PCH or claims manager, we kept going back and forth with hello, hello and she hung up. I called the 2nd number and the my caller ID showed Switzerland, only got a recording that no one was available to call back at a later time, then I realized this is a scam. I wanted to include a pic of the check because it looks all good, but I guess I'm only allowed 1 pic.

I'm 70 years old. Publisher's Clearinghouse called last week, Dave Sawyer 910-460-1291. He knew we had sent things back to Publisher's Clearinghouse, so we thought he was the real Publisher's Clearinghouse. He said we had won 8.5 million plus a 2018 Mercedes Benz. He kept saying not to speak to anybody. Keep it private. If it gets out, they'll be asking you for this and asking you for that. He said don't let anybody know you've won a prize from Publisher's Clearinghouse. So everything could be transferred/registered we would have to send him money. I went to the Chase Bank on Taylor Rd in Reynoldsburg, OH on Friday and transferred $1,000 to Demsely Porter Acct. No. *** *n Lauderhill, FL. The teller asked how long I knew him and I said awhile. He had a slight accent. He called back and said for an additional $950.00, I would get $500,000. So I went to Walmart and did a Walmart to Walmart transfer to Dwight Nelson in Fl. Then my husband went online and found a number for Publisher's Clearinghouse, to check on it. He talked to a Jonathan Ward who connected him to Dr. Charles Brown 321-351-9604 and 876-401-2139. Dr. Brown said not to talk to those guys again, they are scammers. He said he could get our money back. He asked for a $1000.00. I said we don't have it. He said he would take $250. He said don't got to Walmart. So I went to Western Union. I wired $250 to Carlene Brown, 510 Ave, Kingston, Jamaica. He wanted me to stay on the phone with him. He said for $1000 he'd have the car and $500,000 at my house by noon Tuesday. Western Union called me to say the payment did not go through. Western Union told me there had been a lot of fraud. I am going to pick up my money from Western Union. I talked to my bank and canceled my debit card with them. I went online and looked up how does Publisher's Clearinghouse give out prizes, that's when I knew I'd been scammed.

Was first contacted by a friend stating that she had won $30,000.00 from PCH, and when the courier came to bring her check she saw my name on the list of winners. So she gave me the number and told me the name from PCH was James Payne. I was entering the number when He began texting me. Said he needed to verify my name and phone number so they could have a courier verify they were giving the right person the 30 thousand. In the end of the conversation he said are you ready to make your payment of 400.00 US dollars so I can send the courier out with the check. My friend did this and claims the check cleared. I checked with PCH and they said immediately it's a scam. They do not ask for money to receive prize. This just happened this past week. So it could take some time before the check they gave her will be recognized as a fraudulent transaction.

Received a letter and check in the mail claiming we were second place winners in a sweepstakes by Reader's Digest, Mega Millions, Multi-state Lottery Association and we had won $550,000. It stated that Publisher's Clearing House had made all the arrangements to get us our winnings, including a check for almost $7900 (which was part of our winnings). We were instructed to contact our Claims officer, Larry Spencer at *** and we were given a security code that was ours to access our money. The letter stated we were not to discuss this with any third parties according to Federal and state laws - it must be kept confidential! At the bottom of the letters it had a list of companies involved including ** *** *** ** *** *** *** *** ***  We knew this was a scam, we wanted to find out what would happen when the number was called. When we got *** on the phone, he wanted to know why the husband (who the letter was addressed to) wasn't calling - "does he not speak english??". We told him that my husband doesn't handle these things, and he wanted to verify my address. When he asked for my phone number, I asked why he needed that? He thanked me and hung up! It's a scam - I'm sure they would have asked me to deposit the check they sent and send them some of the money to them before the bank realized the check was fake!
