Received a call from John Hernandez who claimed to be with Publishers Clearing House, he gave me an employee number to reference and I needed to send $395 via Western Union. He gives me a town of Newport, Jamaica to send the wire to. I went to Wal Mart and they told me that they do not send wires to Jamaica. John called back and I told him that I cannot send him the wire so he gives me another name and location in Florida to send the payment to. He is calling me up to 45 times a day.

The caller states that he is with Publisher's Clearing House and proceeds to ask a number of "yes" or "no" questions such as 1) Do you remember signing up for PCH? 2) Did you receive the message in your mailbox from us? 3) Is this the first call you have received from PCH? -- then the caller hangs up after potentially gathering your recorded yes and no statements.

I am submitting this as precautionary measure -- in the case that something does happen from here, I want to keep documentation for my protection.

I received first call from 8768803250 saying he was an agent of Publishers Clearing House and that I'd won 4.5 million dollars and a 2017 GMC Bentley truck. Next call was from a 'manager' calling from 8764087302 with instructions for 'Uncle Sam's' part in fees to be able to collect my winnings. Thought just for a sec that I'd won till I was asked to go to Walmart and send them my one percent for winning... $450.00. No thank you

David Sayers called and said I have won 150,000.00 from Publishers Clearing House and I had to send him money for various things. Somethings he needed the money for was storage fees for the bank holding the check, IRS fees, He need funds for this and that I do not remember all the items he needed the money for. He took me for a very large sum of money. He had me send the money to a Jeaneth Rodituez in Florida. She was his IRS person as he referred to her.

I received a call labeled 'Jamaica' from a gentleman who identified himself as 'Dave Sawyers'. He claimed I had won second place in a Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes drawing of 2.5 million plus 7,000 a week for life. I avoided saying yes so successfully that he ended the call with F--- You. He had my name and address. Clearly a scam, I assumed that PCH is not headquartered in Jamaica (I may be wrong and may rue not agreeing) and the prize enumerated is advertised on TV as the first prize. He was polite enough to enquire whether I wanted to get the prize on TV or privately. I replied privately, which again I presume is not an option with PCH, as their whole reason for being relies on publicity. It didn't get any further than that as I revealed nothing verbally regarding e-mail, web address, or other identifying information. I assume this was a "Yes" scam. I will be monitering my accounts over the next few days.

A male called. He was speaking very slowly and his voice sounded mechanical. He informed me that I won a check for 2.5 million dollars plus a brand new car plus 155,000 in cash. He told me to go to the local Wal-Mart and send Delbert Lankhaar of Stanfield, AZ, $999.99 and call him back with the receipt #. I have recorded my conversation with him and I will call him back and record again while I tell him He has been reported.

A man with an accent called from Publishers Clearing House. I had won millions of dollars and a new Mercedes. He asked me to open a new bank account at my current bank and deposit $5. He kept asking if I was 86 years old. I said, "yes". I gave him my address and email address. He said he would send me information about depositing the millions into my new bank account and that he would need my Social Security number at that time. Is this a sham? I haven't seen anything on TV about it.

I received a call on my cell phone. The phone number on my caller ID is 876-810-3026. The man said he was with Publishers Clearing House. I am a second place winner. Would I like it private or be on TV. Said his name is Peter Anderson. He said I won $750,000. He is the prize director. He gave claims and code numbers that say USA. He asked how I would like my money Federal Express or UPS. Said I have to pay $375 insurance money to make sure I receive it. I told him I'm not sending them money. I said I won't pay insurance, He asked my age and marital status. I said this sounds unbelievable. He asked how I would use money. I told him I would not pay and he hung up. I knew it was a scam.

caller told me the paperwork they had mailed to me was sent 3 times to the wrong location. They then had to contact me by phone. They were going to deliver my 2 million dollar price that same day Tuesday 3/21/17. After giving me a reference number and "bar code number" for the check, they advised I would have to provide photo ID and send them a fee of $250. At that point I told the caller I don't send money to win a prize and hung up the phone.

I received a phone call to my cell phone from Publishers Clearing House. Caller stated I won $1.5 million. Wanted me to go to Walmart and get something like a Government tax information release. Requested 299.99 for a tax paper. I did not send any money. I figured if I won a prize it does not make sense to have to pay a fee to cover taxes. The phone number on my caller Id os 876-404-7301. They gave me a different number to cal them back 876-472-8180.
