- Monroe, LA, USA

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.

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.

- Millington, TN, USA

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.

Scammer called from 206-596-0950 saying victim won $7,000 a week for life. All she had to do was buy $400 worth of iTune cards and give scammer the numbers on the back. After Victim paid $400, scammers said victim had to pay another $700 for taxes before they could release the money through Western Union. Victim did not pay this. "James Lee Senior" said he was from Federal Bank at phone # 347-349-1363 and also named was "Steven Jones".

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.
