It was an unknown number. Tried to give me some things I need to do with so much money. I told him I didn’t believe him, but he kept insisting that I had won 2nd place prize. I hung up.

I had entered PCH recently. Don’t know if he knew that or if it was random.

I received a call on my cell phone from Publishers Clearing House. The phone number in my caller ID was 876-471-5013. Caller stated I won $1.8 million Sweepstakes and a GMC pickup truck. He requested $500 for licensing through Money Gram. I did not send any money. I realized it was a scam when he mentioned the licensing fee. He gave me confirmation numbers to people who would deliver my prize. I am reporting the scam.

I received a phone message yesterday from Andy Goldberg who said he was the CEO of Publishers Clearing House. He was calling to tell me that I had won 2.5 million, plus a white Lincoln car. He emphasized that I should call him right away at 516-400-6299 so that I could receive the prize quickly. I did not return his call before I checked it out, and I saw on your website that there were other similar calls this week and what they were requesting.

PCH supposedly calling because I won 2nd prize. Needed me to send money to "Norman White" in Waterloo, NY. Guy one phone said he was Mark Goldburg, badge number: US90 and prize number: JR1933. Said I'd get my prize after I sent the money through Western Union. Called PCH and they said it was a scam.

I received a phone call from the Publisher Clearing House telling me I had won a million dollars, and wanting to asking me some questions. Then they wanted me to go to either Walgreens or Walmart to make a money order for $250.00. They then wanted me to call them when I was doing that so I could get the address to send them my money. The person who contacted me said his name was John Phillips.

Not sure if this is legitimate or not. I received a phone call today saying I had won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes and by 5 p.m. they would be at my home in Westlake OH. They tied up my phone number and had me write down several names and NY badge numbers and was supposed to meet them at a local Chase Bank. They said they were going to pay 1% of my IRS taxes and wanted me to come up with money for the rest of the tax money started at $1,400. but then it was $5,000. I kept saying I didn't think this was legitimate and they supposedly had me talk to Robert Swan Mueller (FBI) who supposedly assured me it was all legitimate. All individual men I talked had significant dialect accents.

I said I could not come up with any money, I'm a widow, senior, on a fixed income. I did not give my SS #, bank account #s or any pertinent information. So they are supposed to call me back on Wednesday 1/03/18 to figure out how I can come up with the remainder IRS tax money. Plus they want a list of my CC bills to pay them off. They called me several times today with instructions (12/30/17) and then said the 5 p.m. deadline expired today due to the fact I did not have the money. They claimed they were supported by the ScamPulse.com and Homeland Security. This is why I am contacting you to see if this could be a scam or legitimate. I am very leary of this whole thing as I was scammed several years ago through my own fault on-line and lost about $700 to Nigeria. I want to be prepared when they call me back on 1/03/18. I do have names and badge numbers that they gave me which I can give to you. I have no idea how PCH contacts you if you are a winner and if all this is necessary. Why would you have to come up with tax money to win money? Thank you.

Received a phone call saying I was second place winner of sweepstakes. Caller knew my ex-husband's name, son and step son's name along with the old land line phone number at time of marriage. Caller took me through several steps of writing down serial numbers etc., they asked no personal questions and sent me an email from what looked like the company at my being skeptical. The caller stated his name as James Fisher. They almost had me and then said I needed to pay a processing fee of $999.00 before delivery of prize by money gram.

Stated he was Dale Washington from Publishers Clearing House, saying I won a Yukon Denali and a cash prize weekly for the rest of my life. Ask me to write down a bunch of numbers and repeat them all back to him at once to claim my prize. When I didn't he got mad, accusing me of trying to take him for a fool. Saying derogatory things, playing recordings with perverse language in them. When I told him i was hanging up, he urged to keep me talking by telling me I was behind on my credit cards and my land lord was gonna kick me out.
