He said he was from Publisher's Clearing House. He only wants you to reply "yes".

These people keep calling from Jamaica telling me I won money. They will not take no for an answer, and I am fed up with their tactics. They claim I won $8.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. All I have to do is pay $595.00. I told them I do not have that kind of money, and he asked me to put it on a credit card.

Some different people I talked to were: James Kingston, David Leach, and Roy Jackson.

My parents have lost over $250,000 due to Jamaican Sweepstakes Scammers.

I received phone call today from Publishers Clearinghouse. They informed me that I had won the $15million plus $1000/day for lifetime sweepstakes. They said the phone call was being taped and gave phone number to call back on if needed. I also received a number to give to them along with picture ID when they delivered the check to me. They then transferred me to the manager and he requested that I was to get a state to state stamp to put on check and that it would cost $858.90 I was to stay on the line and drive to a Bank of America near me and when I got there to tell him I had arrived at the bank. I then hung up on them.

- Murfreesboro, TN, USA

Scammer stated I had one 2nd prize of $975,000. $900,00 in certified check and $75 as a regular check and a 2017 Mercedes Benz. I had to go to Walmart and get a money gram for $399 for delivery fee. Gave prize number and package number. Stated he wanted to come to my house.

- Tucson, AZ, USA

A man giving his name as David Benjamin called and said I was the recipient of a Publisher Clearing House award of 8.8 million dollars and

a 2017 Mercedes Benz car. He kept telling me two men were on their way to deliver the award; I just had to give him my home address

which I did not.

A phone number was given to me to call to confirm all this: 876 569-5971 and a confirmation number: AQ 77USA. I asked how PCH

acquired my name and he just said I had entered a lottery (not true) and my name was picked. I hung up when he said there were a few

questions I would have to answer for him. When I asked him questions he would change the subject, i.e. reminding of me of award and

even asking what color car I preferred.

- Abbeville, LA, USA

I received a call at my place of business saying my phone number was given to them by at&t to win Publisher's Clearing House and I won the second place prize of 920,000.00 and a Mercedes all to be delivered to me today. The man on the phone referred to himself as Mr. Miller and he was in his 50's. I needed to get my prize insured so I needed to go to my local Wal-Mart or Western Union but to keep everything private and he would walk me through it over the phone. He said once I got to Wal-Mart that I needed to get a Money Gram in the amount of $492.00 made out to Emma T. Dacquel in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. He said this money would be refundable because with that Money Gram I would get a receipt but the people who would be bringing me my "prize" would need to see proof of the Money Gram and my registration (which would come after they received the money of course, "showing that I'm protecting my winnings") when I started questioning and prying for more information he then says "YOU ARENT OUR FIRST WINNER TODAY AND YOU WONT BE OUR LAST! I'm not FORCING you to be a better person and do this!" I told him I was not comfortable doing any of this and he then proceeded to hang up on me. I knew it was a scam but tried to get as much information so this jerk doesn't actually succeed in scamming money from someone uninformed.

- Tullahoma, TN, USA

Had a guy call and tell me he was from Publishers Clearing House and I had won 2.5 Million. Wanted to know if I wanted to accept the prize at my home in Tennessee or give it to charity. I hung up.

A person claiming to be John Perry has been calling our home from 876-817-3922, at times non stop for minutes at a time. The number he calls from is not a credible number. I called it when he left a message saying it was urgent to find out the nature of the call. He did not leave a number it's what shows up on all the missed calls. When he called again and I saw the same number I picked up to say stop calling. The questions that he was asking made me feel his calls were a part of a scam. Fortunately I interupted an earlier call from him as my mom was about to give him some personal information.

He claims our mother has won third prize in Publisher Clearing House for paying her bills on time for the last five years. Its difficult to hear him, the phone is distant or muffled. He wanted her to go to the closest Walmart and set up an account at Western Union in order to claim her prize. Of course we did not.

- Clear Lake, WI, USA

Caller claimed I won lots of money + a car. I was instructed to send $3400 in "fees" via money order or cashier's check to E. Carol Carr in Lowell, MA. Sounded way too fishy for me, so I hung up and called the BBB.  This is a jamaica area code and is a scam!

- Anchorage, AK, USA

Scam called! I told them that's not how Publisher's Clearing House works.

- Genesee, ID, USA

Someone by the name of DAVID SAWYERS, Badge #55386, from PUBLISHERS CLEARINGHOUSE called to inform me I'd won 2.5 million dollars and $1,000/day for life on Sunday, September17, 2017. He had me on the line writing information down, like the VP Deborah Holland and CEO Andrew Goldberg, 2.5 Million, $1,000/day for life and a BRAND NEW 2017 Mercedes Benz E Series in Silver....then he asked if I had a car and how close was the Western Union Office to me....I needed to go to get a REGISTERED RECEIPT for $205. The PRIZE PATROL was on it's way!! 35 minutes out!! When I told him I quickly looked up how Publisher's Clearinghouse really informs winners and this is NOT how they do it, he started to argue with me....I asked him "why are you scamming me?" He said I was free to hang up, which I did....then he called me back several times and one of the times, his number came through on the caller ID.....it was 876-559-4567. I'm sure his name was a lie.

PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR THIS!!! PCH does NOT contact winners via phone....it's Cashier's Check or Prize Patrol ONLY!!!
