Received a call from a gentleman stating I won the $10Million Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. He asked me to verify my name and wanted to send me some information in the mail and the check. Something didn't sound right so I ended up hanging up on him. He never told me if I owed any money but I assume that's where the call was headed.

I was changing out my annuities to buy gold and silver using my credit cards. I received a phone call saying I won an 8 million dollars lottery and a BMW custom made in Germany. I felt like I was drawn to a flame. All reasoning went out the window, He said I had to have 20:000 in my bank account. I was paying off some of the coins and he needed money to pay off expenses. I wrote three chech to his “agent”. I wrote one fo $8,095. The second one for $28,500 and the final for $25,000. Sent UPS overnight. Also $9,600 in cash wrapped in a magazine and set UPS. And another $2,400 wrapped in a magazine, he also wanted wire transfers through the bank.The man was James Carter, his agent was Norman Ratka. He got the checks. The wire transfers were to Karen Alexandra Brown. They did not go. Bank would not send them. Then James wanted two bank accounts. He then said he would get sponsors to help me get the 20,000 in my account. So I started receiving small amounts to put into my accounts. Then got two $8,000 checks. Deposited them one in each bank and they bounced. Both banks calling about being scammed. I did not want to admit it. Also as I bought coins on my credit cards and was getting coins. One of the final a credit card was 84,000. This is the one with the most problem, Other card $16,700. Mike C. From Chase Investigations called me and I told him the truth. He sent me to the police. I am still getting calls from James. Want me to open 2 more accounts. There was $1,500 transfer to my bank account. Yesterday the bank said the person wants it back. I told the bank no, that it is all a scam and I will not return it. I had gone to another bank and wire transfer to Lamar O. Duncan. One of the persons to get magazine money was Michael Webster, 11861 Summer Oak Drive, Germantown, MD 20874. Karen Alexandra Brown, 3635 Dominy Lane, Apt 512, Fort Worth, TX 76116. Bank of Texas. Alex Grant 1717 Mason Ave, Apt 435, Daytona Beach, Fl 32117. I got some more cash in the mail and I called the sheriff and he said do not go to new banks and hang onto the money. It is all a scam

Phone call from "No Caller ID" Said I had won $850,000 but needed to do a Walmart to Walmart to Frances Pressley in Carry, North Carolina. Wanted $285. Gave me a cell number of 1-876-464-1852. Lots of other talk but that was the basics to convince me he was legitimate. Lots of "wanting to notify me of" different items. Good an explaining why. I asked several times for him to verify who I was with any info but he could not provide anything. Explained that he was separate from the delivery crew. Never asked for my personal info and seemed very professional and legitimate. Did mentioned that time was of the essence and wanted to get the process going and done. Said that I had been notified of this before but they had not heard anything back from me. Could not give me any details on this..... Has called me back a couple times but I have not answered. See below for all the info that he gave me.

Name - David Peterson

Prize conf number - 5581351

Ticket - 3870111

Conf - 88415

Wanted me to pay $200 for taxes on the truck by Western Union. I also received a message from Mark Zuckerberg on Hangout stating I won this prize. I did not send any money.

I have/had filled out PCH a while ago and got what I thought was a call from them today telling me I won $950,000. I had to answer some questions which weren’t really anything against me or going into my private life and then I was asked to go to Walmart were I would get a card and put $299 on it. That’s when myself and my father knew it was a scam and immediately hung up the phone on them and are now contacting you.

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 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.
