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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

I am 81 years old. I've received four calls today from Publisher's Clearinghouse 775-360-3840. They asked me to send $700.00. Used the name David Sawyers. He said I had won a 2017 Mercedez Benz and 5 million dollars. He asked me if I lived alone. He knew where I lived. He knew how to spell my name. He told me to write down a confirmation number. He told me to go to FedEx.

I received a call from *** *** that I won the big prize of $5,000 a week and a new Mercedes Benz with Publisher's Clearinghouse. I was told a woman named *** *** would come to the house with the big check. I was told to take out $250 or get a check for $250 from the bank for the IRS taxes. I was told a woman named *** *** in Goodman, Missouri would pick it up from me at the bank and I would need to prove I paid the $250 before they would come with the big check and my Mercedes. I realized this was a scam when I had to pay something to get the prize. *** *** became upset with me when I pointed this out and hung up on me. I called the police and informed them of what happened and that someone was to come to my home. They dispatched officers to sit at the top of my street. I was also able to get the police to call the number that had called me back and the guy answered cussing and fussing that he did not understand why the police were calling him.

A man identified himself as David Moore of PCH. He insisted that I get paper and pen to write down the info about my winning $2.5 million. (I knew he was a scammer from the start, but I played along just to hear what he had to say.) He also gave me the name of the company attorney (John Church) and general manager (Mary Lee). Mr. Moore had a Spanish accent. He kept asking me how I felt about what he was telling me and I said skeptical each time. He said my winning number was (my cell phone number + US on the end) and my check number was 903314576US. He gave me a choice of how to receive the $2.5 million--with cameras, etc as on TV or privately. He said I would need my driver's license, a photo ID, my winning #, and a delivery claims receipt from Walmart with today's date. I was to go to the service desk at the local Walmart to obtain this. Of course there was a registration fee of $199.99. When he asked me for my address, I told him that anyone with a computer could find my address and that I didn't feel comfortable giving him my address if he didn't already know it and that I was ending the call. When I told him that I hoped he didn't find anyone else to fall for his scheme, he hung up on me. Later, I dialed his # back from my house phone just to see what would happen. His voice answered using another name (Robert Raymond) but still representing PCH. When he asked to whom he was speaking, I hung up.
