John Goldwater called from publisher's clearinghouse. He said i won second place which was $750,000. I asked him how I had won since i didn't enter and he fed me some story about a random drawing. I saw the phone call was from Jamaica. i asked him if this was a scam and he hung up. I called back he gave me some bull*** about how publisher's clearing house wasn't obligated to give me the money if I wasn't willing to cooperate. He made me write down the name of he company, the amount I won, a ticket number and some sort of claim number. He wanted to know my citizenship status, age, address, name, whether I was a member of aarp or triple a.

Said they're PCH and I won 2 million dollars. Wanted to discuss money for paying taxes first. Sounded very legitimate, but I was wary.

Received phone call saying I had won $2,500,000 and a Mercedes in the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. Lady instructed me to send $1,000 by moneygram to cover fees and taxes. Called back later and asked that I go to Walmart and sent and additional $1,000 by direct transfer. I sent money to a ms Lawrence in New Mexico and to a Edward Romeo in Fla. They said they would call me back to arrange delivery of prizes. I decided to call BBB to see if this was true and found out it was a scam.

This person named Robert Hall called me on 11/29/17 stating that I had won $850,000 from Publishing clearing house. He said it would be a check from Bank of America and her name was Lisa Moore the rep. He also gave me the attorneys name of Mary Miller. The ups drivers name of Michael Sayer. Also he gave me a check number that the $850,000 would be on. He put me on hold for a hot second to supposedly call the IRS. He said I had to pay $158 for registration and insurance fees. He wanted me to go to a walmart, but he never called back to tell me where to send the money which I wasn't going to do anyway. Publishing clearing house don't call and tell u that u won money and u have to send them money. He could barely speak ENGLISH and was calling from Jamaica.

Guy Goes by the name James B, Says he is with Publishers Clearing House and that i won a random raffle for shopping at stores like Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and a couple other ones i dont remember. Said i won second place this month of a prize of over $10,000, a mercedes bins, a washing machine, a dryer, and a blender. BUT before i can have this shipped to me "tomorrow" i have to help him fill out a form and then i would have to pay 1% of the prize money which came out to $250 to even get it. they have been calling me over thenksgiving weekend and since then. i told them i do not trust them and they keep calling back and i havent picked up the phone for them since. they use UNKOWN NUMBER as well so i just dont pick up. when i did pick up thei first couple times they even had me talk to their "Manager" this isnt the first time I've gotten this kind of a call but eh, i only picked it up cause they first used the washington number. outside the country i'm not picking it up.

i did not play their game, no money lost, no information given out. just being harrassed by a company that "doesnt want to waste their time" looked up how people win PCH stuff and you have to enter, which i didnt. so, no harm done aside from needing the DO NOT DISTURB on so they cant wake me up when im sleeping or have my pocket vibrate through out my work day.

he also told me not to tell anyone i won, said his badge number was 33 33 US, and said they work with the FBI, and the IRS and can get my information through bills, and places i shop.

A man contacted me today and stated he was from Publisher's Clearinghouse. He said that I won $2.5 million and a new Mercedes Benz. He told me to go to Walmart or a near place to send him $400. He told me it would pay the Missouri state tax. I told him I didn't believe him and it was a scam. He told me I was stupid for refusing all of that money and I hung up.

Elderly mother called this morning stating she had won $1 million Publishers Clearing HOuse prize. She was told to call this man back with the specific address of the "Kerrville, TX ScamPulse.com" where she was to go and give them a $185 personal check. This money would "seal" the prize money for her and she could then get "$1000 per week" for life deposited into her bank account. The caller which was male left the following telephone number for her to call back for address of the "BBB" office : 210-319-6093. My mother called me and I immediately told her not to call this man back. And not to follow any of his instructions nor answer any more calls from that number.

Man called my 81 year old mother and told her she had won money and a car from Publisher's Clearing House. He gave her a number to call to verify. I called the number myself and caller id came up as Jamaica. The man called back and asked if I had called the verification number. I told him it had come up as Jamaica. He said that was incorrect and they were out of Las Vegas and proceeded to give me another number to call. I started looking up scams on the ScamPulse.com and found similar things had happened to other people. I had questioned him when he called back the second time and he seemed a little flustered. He didn't bother to call back and see if I had tried the second number he had given me. The phone numbers he had given me were 876-572-1759 and 876-572-1869.

First name I got message from a friend I thought it was. Had her name and pic. After brief chat she said she had won money from PCH. She gave a link where I could contact them. I went to that link and they said I was a winner of 150,000 they gave me a bunch of info that I would need to present when they delivered my winnings but first I would have to send 1500 to secure my winnings. The second time I won a larger amount but the amount I had to send was less. Now today I get one from FedEx saying they have my package just waiting on payment 3500 dollars

He called twice and wanted to know if I had entered the sweepstakes and if I had received notifications of my winnings. I hung up and he called back and my son answered and asked to speak with me and my son said scam and he hung up. Each time it said unknown or private caller.
