We got a call from someone saying that I'd 2 million dollars and 2017 Mercedes Convertible. He had me on the phone for 1.5 hours before he said to send him a check for $799 for the taxes. He said you can check this out through your local BBB. I needed a postcard to go online and verify that I'd won. I had already received this in the mail.

Just received a phone call at my home saying I won 3.5 million dollars from Publishers Clearing House. The caller said is name is Billy Jones from Publishers Clearing House. Gave me his badge number: #476321BJ. Told me that my call was being recorded by the ScamPulse.com and also by Homeland Security. Mr. Jones' gave he his phone number : 1-876-457-9380. Extension # 601. He said that he was getting ready to fly in a heliocopter from Fairbanks this evening to my address to deliver the 3.5 Million dollar check! But first, he stated, that the International Gaming Commission needed 1 percent of the winning amount as their share of the winnings before the money could be handed over to me. The amount was $699.99.

I explained that I cannot come up with $699.99 at the moment. Mr Jones then responded that he has a group of 'sponsors' that would cover any amount that I could not gather this evening to insure that I get my prize promptly.

I told him that my husband is at work and I could not come up with any amount at all UNTIL I talk with my spouse.

My husband is now home from work and we've decided to contact ScamPulse.com first and foremost before getting back with this 'supposed' P.C.H. representative. We are not giving this Billy Jones ANY money. Cannot afford to. (Hopefully, this is actually a scam and I'm not refusing an actual cash prize!)...

My grandmother received a voice mails stating that She had won $7,000 weekly for life and a new car. They asked her to call back to claim my winnings. She did not return the call or answer the call when it came in. I did research and found other complaints on the number 337-245-2945.

I got a call from someone at "Publisher's Clearing House" saying I'd won 54.8 million, a car, and a washer & dryer. He said he'd already checked with Homeland Security and the BBB. I asked if I had to pay anything, he said nothing comes free. He told me I'd have to pay $4000. I asked if he minded if I shared this information with the BBB. He said he doesn't give a "***."

I received a call on my cell phone in which the number came up "unrestricted number." The male caller said he was a UPS driver and that he had a package to deliver from Publisher's Clearing House. He wanted to know if I was going to be home. He then asked if I had ordered anything from Publisher's Clearing House. I replied, "No." He asked if I wanted the package sent back. I responded, "Yes." He said no more and quickly hung up.

Caller said I had won $850,000 and a Mercedes-Benz. Asked if I had a pen and paper; I said “yes” and caller hung up. I assume this is the “yes” scam.

Today I received a call from a Dave Sawyers, 865-264-2372, representing Publishers Clearing House. He told me I had won $25 million dollars and a new Mercedes Benz. I asked how do I know this real? He gave me a #805-262-6034, claiming to be the Bank of America. I called the # and it was answered Bank of America and I pressed 3 as directed by Dave and was told $20 million was transferred to them for me. They gave me a transfer #20560772. The number also said that my telephone no was verified! Dave wanted me to call him back after the BOA call. I did and he wanted to stay on the phone while I went to the bank and then to Krogers for a Western Union transfer. I was advised by BOA recording that I had to pay 1% of winnings, which was $2000 or $850 or make pmt plan. Money would transfer after money paid! I almost fell for it. He even claimed to be a godly man!!! Please don't fall for this very elaborate and thought out scam!!!!

The scammer called my WI cell phone to inform me that I had won the PCH sweepstakes and would be receiving 1.9 million dollars. I asked him twice how I was chosen as a winner when I have never signed up for a lottery. The first time he repeated that I had won $1.9M. The second time he hung up on me. The phone call was from a restricted number.

My son answered the phone, and gave it to me. I just had a long conversation from a guy who said he was Publisher's Clearinghouse, and I won 2.2 million dollars. He said I know your legit because I just talked to your son. He said the winnings would be from JP Morgan Chase. He said I would have to secure $900 for taxes. He was bringing me 1 million today. He wanted me to go to the bank and call him. He said Todd Sloan would be coming to hand me the check. He sounded so legit. He rattled off a lot of security numbers. He asked the name of my bank. I told him I couldn't go to the bank, the Hospice nurse was here for my husband. he asked how far I lived from Cleveland, and how far I lived from the airport. He said three people would be coming to my house today.

The caller was named John Lewis, who stated I won the sweepstakes for $950,000. I should go to Wal-Mart money gram to pay $55.99, to receive my prize. Supervisor Mary Johnson came on the line to verify the transaction. They are going to call me back at 4:00pm today.

A man named John Green called me from this number claiming he was with Publishers Clearing House. Said I had won 10 million dollars and a new Mercedes which was on its way from New York to my house. He was quite convincing saying that all I had to do was pay $500 to cover the expenses of the getting the car here and that was it. He instructed me to go to Walmart which I'm guessing he was trying to get me to Western Union him the money. Sadly so many people fall for these scams but I'm not one of them.

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.
