Received two phone calls saying that they were from publishers clearing house and I had won a car. I was instructed to wire $500 to a Ms. Isabelle Charles in Marion, SC to cover the delivery fees and taxes.

I received a letter in a plain envelope claiming to be from the Publisher's Clearinghouse. The return address on the back of the envelope was in Canada. The letter inside showed a simulated check made out to my wife and I indicating we'd won money and told us to call regarding our winnings within 72 hours. The notice said to keep the info confidential until the claim was processed and the money was remitted to our account. Although we had signed up for the Publisher's Clearinghouse in the past the mailing still seemed strange. I called Publisher's Clearinghouse and confirmed it is a scam letter.

I received a phone call saying they were Publisher's Clearing House and I had won 950,000 and a Mercedes Benz. They told me I needed to go to Walmart to get a money order to send to them for a specific fee. I knew at this point it was a scam

Received a call on my cell phone, from a John Anderson, said he was a representative for Publishers Clearing House and that he had been trying to get in touch with me by mail to let me know I was a 2nd place winner of 1.8 million dollars and a bonus prize of a 2017 Mercedes Benz s series. Gave me a lot of information, including, The Winning # the Pkg. # the Serial # and a Ticket #. Said my prize was being held in Charlotte, NC, about a 3.5 hour drive from me and they would be delivering it today, but needed the registration fee for the car before they could release it in my name. This had to be done before it could be on it's way. He wanted me to go to Walmart and do a Walmart to Walmart transfer in the amount of $754.00 for the registration fee. And have the receipt with me when the prize team arrived. Said the would arrive in a Red, White, and Blue truck with my new Mercedes on the back. He ask me what color I wanted... which is a little fishy since my prize is already waiting for me in Charlotte. I am not biting, He is very convincing, please be careful, I was almost convinced but I put him off by telling him I had to wait for my wife to get home, which gave me time to contact the ScamPulse.com and found very, very similar stories. Thank you BBB... Hope this helps someone else, none of us have money to put in scammer's pockets.

Called me on the phone and stated I had won $3.5 million and a car. Told me to send 580.00 to Herbert Williams in Riverton, Utah. Michael Price, some type of agent told me to send the money. Send money by money gram at Walmart. I could not get $580.00 together so I called and told Mr. Price that I could not get the money together, so he told me to send $335.00. Mr. Price called and stated that he did receive the money but he needs the tracking number. I gave Mr. Price the tracking number. Mr. Price called me back later and stated that he needed $6,000.00 more. I told Mr. Price I was not going to send any more money. Mr. Price continued to call me and ask for more money. I have not talked with him anymore. He has been calling me but I let the ansering machine take the message.

Caller (identified himself as Martel Moore) advised I was the Oregon winner in Publisher's Clearinghouse. Told me he needed to hang up and call me back in 9 seconds, which he did. Caller again advised I was Oregon winner. Asked me how I felt about that. I was skeptical and told him so. Asked how I could win when I did not enter. Caller gave me 4 scenarios for how I could be entered. Two of them were plausible, the other two were not. Caller gave me package code # and coupon winning #. Advised not only did I win $3.5 million, but also a bonus prize of a 2017 GMC Denali and 1 year insurance through Allstate and asked what color car I wanted. Reassured me this was not a scam. Asked if I wanted to be on TV, in the NY Times or a confidential delivery. I told him confidential delivery. Caller set time for Prize Patrol to be at my home for 3pm that day. I told him I would not be home and asked for 8pm delivery. Caller agreed. Gave me the names of manager (Dave Sayer), driver (Susan White) and PCH CEO (Andrew Goldbuge) who would be there to present me with my prize. (I later checked PCH website and learned that the CEO is Andrew Goldberg. Caller spelled the names for me). Caller said I needed to go to Walmart and make a purchase in order to have a barcode to present when my check was delivered. I told him I was not going to do that (it is a 30 mile trip to the nearest Walmart). Caller did have an accent (India/Pakistan??), was calm in his demeanor, never pressured me, did not ask for any banking info or my SSN. He had my name, my husband's name, our address and of course our phone number. When I told him I wasn't going to go to Walmart I also said that I had spent enough time with him, if it was a scam I've wasted my time, if it was not I would see him at 8:00 and I hung up.

I was contacted by a Mr. Leo Johnson. He stated that I had won 2.5 million dollars, plus $7,000 a week for Life in the Publisher's clearing House Contest. I was told that I would have to pay $387.99 to register the prize check. He said that the check had to be registered in order for me to cash it, because it was coming from another state. He said that I needed to send the money by Western Union immediately. He became upset when I told him I couldn't send the money. At this point I hung the phone up. The phone number was 1-876-503-2767.

Calls started about 6 weeks ago saying I won 3/4 of a million dollars and a Mercedes Benz., but I had to send them $2600 by certified check and I hung up before they could give me where to send the check because I knew it was a scam.

They called me several times and gave me phone numbers and told me a representative would come out and the numbers he gave me were for companies all over the country - one was a nursing home in FL.

They called me several times today and when I asked them to stop calling they said it would cost $250 and I hung up, they called again and said it would cost $280 and I told them if they didn't stop I would contact my attorney and George called back again and asked to speak to my attorney and then he hung up on me.

My friend was scammed out of $3900 by a man calling himself . He told her that she had won a 2017 Mercedes and a check for $1 million dollars from Publisher's Clearing House. She had entered the sweepstakes before and thought it was legitimate. She sent funds to individuals by the name of Tyesha Jones that was paid in Colorado and Tami Duke in Oklahoma with Western Union and Michael Blancard with moneygram services.
