A guy who said his name was Peter Moore (Badge# 0141) called me on 11/10/17. He told me that he was from Publisher's Clearinghouse and I had won 3.5 million and they had a cashier's check made from Bank of America ready for me. He said I also won a 2018 Mercedes C-Class. He said I would receive $10,000/month and I needed to give a co-beneficiary and I would have to have a release number of 0107109930 to get the money. He said that Jennifer White from JP Law Firm would come as a representative from the law firm. Ashley Robinson would be delivering the check. They claimed that they were in my area. I would needed to give them $299.99. I told them that I thought it was a scam and I didn't believe them and they hung up.

My Mother, living in St. Thomas, Ontario, received a call that made her believe that she had won a new Mercedes and 1.5 Million from Publisher's Clearing House. She had been speaking with them on the phone. She called me to tell about her win. I told her to have this man call me. It was an 876 area code. He called me right away, and actually tried to convince me that she really had won. I asked him why someone needed to take her to the bank to pay a small fee. He said because he and a lawyer would take her there with paperwork to show the bank that it wasn't a fraud. I asked him why he was calling from Jamaica.. He gave some excuse that made no sense. I told him to call me back, and then told him to never call my Mother again, very forcefully, and that I was reporting him and his phone number.

I got a call saying I'd won the PCH Sweepstakes, $5 million and a car. He asked how much money he had in my bank account, I said $5000, then they asked that I pay $3800 in taxes+fees. He said he knew I thought it was a scam but that they'd been vetted by the ScamPulse.com.

I received a call from James Kingston (but sounded like a woman) with Publishers Clearing House yesterday around 5:00 p.m. I was told I had won 2.5 million dollars and that they would also pay off my credit card debt. I was then told I needed to pay $2,500 for taxes and shipping. That's when I knew it was a scam.

Victim received call from "Publishers Clearing House" that she won $4 Million dollars and that she needed to pay a $500 & $200 fee to receive it.  Later, the money was still held up, and scammers told her that she needed to pay $35,000 for an Anti-Terrorist Fee to get money from Canada to US.  Victim knew it was a scam by then and did not send the $35,000.

Man (name given: David Sayer) on phone said you had won $1 million dollar sweepstakes and a 2017 Mercedes. He said to call 1-876-432-2406 and speak with John Cartwright (man sounded like the same person from the first initial call). John Cartwright said to go to Walgreens to pick up a receipt from the Western Union from the personnel at the store. He said that David Sayer, Betty Jones and Steven Michael (driving a white truck) would present the cashiers check and car within 1 hour and 45 minutes after obtaining a receipt card at Walgreens.

I was contacted via instagram by a danielle_lamm123 as well as a davidgreen251 on or about 10/31/17. I was told they were with Publishers Clearing House and I had won a new car along with some money. They even sent a pic of the car with a big red bow on it. I was told that I needed to pay $187.00 to claim the prize, this was supposedly for taxes, and was texted a bunch of personal questions to answer.

The 1st contact was from Danielle and when I wouldn't respond anymore after she asked for money, I was contacted by David who was very insistent that I complete the question portion and remit the money for the prize. I questioned him about all this and he just kept texting saying he wanted to get the prize to me but he needed that info and money first. He was very harassing, even when I told him I would be reaching out to ScamPulse.com for information about him and to report his activity. He didn't care and kept harassing me.

"Mr. Roberts" called me a month ago to inform me that I won a lot of money + a new car. I was instructed to send a money order for $729 for "delivery charges" of my car to John Cook, 15115 Parthenia - Apt. 105, North Hills, CA 91343, which I did do. A few days ago I rec'd. another call from this person stating that Wells Fargo requires an $800 fee to cash the prize check, and that I should send another money order in that amount to Venicia Walcott, 14517 Linden Blvd., Jamaica, NY 11436. I did that also. At first he wanted me to send $4000 for the fees, but I told him I am on SSI and would have to take out a loan for that much money, which I wasn't willing to do. I became increasingly more suspicious of this entire process and called the ScamPulse.com to ask if it's legitimate, they told me no and I am now reporting this.

The team of Publishers Clearinghouse is pleased to announce you are the second place winner, $550,000.00. You are precluded from discussing this with any third party. A check for just over $7000 was included, Jim Bradley, He said to cash the check, and to keep the letter secret. I left the check with my bank.

Guy calls says he is attorney James Cooper and has your winnings all you have to do is send $99 by western union or money gram. Make sound so convincing to do this. Talks this real good game of how rich you going to be. Then preceed to say they on there way with your winnings. Then puts you on hold to let you talk to another. Mr. Cooper saying to get check notarized would be $1800 which I did not do. Then James Cooper says he would spot $1000 and I come up with the rest. Then proceeds to ask how much I have in my account. That sent up red flag to me. It is none of his business what I have in my account. He is suppose to call again tomorrow. I just wish we could catch him tomorrow.

Mr. John Cruz called my mother Mary Ann White Tues, October 24, 2017, said she was a winner of 2.8 million and a brand new car, asked her when she wanted the money. She said right now and he said ok. let me see what I can do. He then proceeded to tell her that the camera crew wouldn't be able to get out that soon, so playing along she said Friday. He said ok. They disconnected with a promise that he will call back. So he calls yesterday and asks if she told anyone and she said no, because she thinks its a scam and he told her that it was legitimate. And that God has blessed her. He had called her all day distracting her from her own job, to tell her the specifics, 2.8 millions dollars and a 2018 Mercedes with 5 years of paid Geico Insurance, 2 years free gas from any Shell gas station, 2 years of service and any color she wanted, that the car would be delivered by flatbed and there would be an armor truck with two men and women with flowers and big check. This scam is very elaborate and vindictive. So the last call was last night at 9/9:30 pm saying everything was good to go for Friday (today) and that he would call in the morning with a time that the camera crew would be here. He called all right, to tell my mom she needed to pay $750 for a registration fee. My mom said take it out the winnings and he said that could not be done. Then proceeded to get upset when my started asking all these questions and my sister was in the background talking too which he was upset that someone was in my moms ear. My mother is of retirement age and this is happening to this demographic. My mom has common sense and family to protect her but what about those who don't have either? Please help so these people do not get away with what they are doing!
