Today, 2 Aug 2017, at about 9:43 a.m. PCT, I received a call. I didn't recognize the number so allowed the answering machine to pick-up. The male identified himself as Dave Sawyer and indicated that I had won a Publishers Clearing House prize of 2.5 million dollars or $10,000 a week for life. He informed me to contact the Claims Department to receive my money. Prior to hanging up, he again reminded me to call the Claims Department at 518-299-8565, the same number listed on my phone ID. I did not return the call.

I was contacted by a David Anderson about a 1.5 million dollar prize winning from PHC. He gave me a check number, ticket number, bar code number, and a check security number. The call dropped and later in the day I received a voice mail to contact his manger Michael Cooper well when you call the number it goes straight to voice mail. They claim the check would be from Bank of America and that I would also have to speak with and sign paperwork for their attorney John Brown. Asked if I would like the check in private or with the media. And some of the crew would have to accompany me to my bank.

A man called my cell claiming to be David from Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes. He said, I had won $3.5 Million Dollars in the sweepstakes, however, he didn't know where I lived except Idaho and he was trying to disguise his voice. The Jamaican Accent is hard to miss. He didn't get far enough to con me out of money and got a little testy when I called his bluff.

It's 7.20.17, and I got 6 calls from a Jamaican phone number 876-476-5037 telling me I won The Publisher's Clearinghouse. He told me I needed to pay $500 for a fee to release the funds from Ohio. He said go to your nearest Western Union. He said I could call your bank and deposit $500 into your account so you can pull the fee from that. He said he would deliver the $5,800,000 by 3:30 pm today. He said I wouldn't get the whole thing because of Trump and taxes.

Answered call, person introduced themselves as "John Green," said they were with Publisher's Clearing House and asked "are you familiar?" And I said "Yes, and I actively don't participate." The caller hung up before I was able to finish my sentence and I realized I had said the word "yes," which I assume they recorded for malicious purposes.

I was called by someone with a very thick accent and using a phone number similar to the one my husband calls from (he's stationed in Afghanistan). The man claimed his name was Jack Miller, and that he represented Publisher's Clearing House. He claimed my phone number was found through one of the many stores I frequent, and I'd been randomly selected as the winner of a $5.7 million prize. He gave me a badge number, check number, confirmation number, and the name of a lawyer, Mary Lee (no phone) who'd already been assigned to me.

They told me I needed to go to Wal-Mart and pick up a store-to-store form, stayed on the phone with me for the entire drive, and insisted I not let on to anyone why I was there. Since they hadn't asked for any personal information or money yet, I agreed. Once I had the form, they finally mentioned they needed me to first send them $255 as a processing fee before I could receive my invitation receipt. They tried everything: do you have cash, a debit card, an ATM card, is your bank nearby? At this point I hung up.

The next morning, they called again three times. I didn't answer my phone, and by the third time I blocked the number. I thought that was the end of it, but later that day I got a call that came up on the caller ID as "Private." I answered, and it was them again, asking if I'd gotten the invitation receipt. I informed them that Publisher's Clearing House does not do business this way (I'd looked at the official website since the last call), and the caller still insisted I needed to get that receipt, the one I was supposed to pay nearly three hundred dollars for, right now. I hung up on them again, but this still may not be the end of it.

Received a phone call stating I won the Publishers Clearing House sweepstake for $100,00 (first amount given) said I didn't have to purchase anything however I need to go to Walmart and get a money gram for $290(first amount) and place it under a camera at my house and give him the numbers off of it. Said they were 10 miles from my house. Then said they needed $300 something dollars before they arrive to give me my prize of $225,000 or the money would go to charity. Called back several times demanding I send the money or sign it over. Gentleman was very angry when I put him on three way with my sister. He did sound believable, talked about God and miracles also. Be very careful as the people will make you believe everything but Publishers Clearance House does not call nor do they request money, they don't even contact you prior to their arrival to your home.

I got a call on my cell phone and the guy (he had an accent) told me I won 2nd price in the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. I supposedly won $350,000.00 and a Mercedes Benz. So I asked what I needed to do. He said I needed to register with the Federal Trade Commission and would have to pay a fee to do that. I asked how do I pay? Well, I could go to WalMart, etc etc to wire money to them. I reply, no, this is a scam and hung up. He called from Jamaica Phone# 876-356-6348.

I got a call (from Jamaica) saying I'd won 4.5 million dollars and a car. He gave me a package # and asked if I wanted to be a private winner or a public winner. I just had to buy a gift card from Amazon for $399. I said I couldn't afford it. He said he would talk to his supervisor. Seconds later he was back on the phone and said maybe $150 or $200 would be okay.

Caller stated I won $2.5 million and that I need to first pay 1%. I told him I don't have that kind of money, that my husband died and I only have Social Security for income, along with my life insurance policy. The caller then told me I could cash in my life insurance policy to pay the fee. I then reported the call to the BBB. Call is coming from Jamaica phone exchange

They'll say you won a large amount of money, have you take down seemingly necessary information, like a badge number. Then they'll say that the IRS is holding your winnings, and you need to pay a holding fee of .1%.

Received a phone call from someone representing publishers clearing house. They said I had won 2 million and a 2017 new car. I did not believe him and asked for a manager. Another guy comes on the phone and tells me my prize is in WI, and all I have to do is send $$ in the amount of $350.00 for shipping and handling. Then I would receive my prize. I told the guy to send my prizes and I will gladly pay him for their services when I get the stuff. Well. they didn't go for that! I hung up.

When I answered my phone, they asked for me. I asked who was calling, he said his name was Davis Sears, and then went into the dialog about being selected as a winner in the Publishers Clearing House for 1.7 million dollars. He spoke in a monotone like he was reading off a script, and asked at least 3 times if I had ever won from them before.

He had me write down some information, including a claim number, then asked me to go to an area convenience store to complete a form and pay $850 to register my winnings with the IRS, Chamber of Commerce, etc. He told me he'd wait on the line while I changed (I was painting at the time, and had old clothes on). So I checked PCH scams on line, relaized the number he was calling from was a Jamaica phone number so I hung up.

They have tried calling me back at least 4 times now even thougth they told me that if I lost connection with them, i would lose my prize money.
