Report

Calls and reports that you have won The Publisher's Clearing House and that they will be out within the hour to take photographs. Within the hour, they call back wanting you to pay $250.00 state fees to cover photographs. "You are a big winner and $250.00 is just a drop in the bucket for the amount of money you have won", said Micheal Collins.

I was told that I had won $250,000 six years ago that was expiring. If I paid a $250 filing fee they would deliver the check to my house.

I received a call from Publishers Clearing House saying I had won $5,000 per week for life and a new Mercedes. They said I need to go to Walgreens and get a $300 card before they could deliver the prize. I asked if they couldn't just get it when they went to the bank with me to make my deposit and they said no, it has to be paid before delivery.

I have gotten several calls from this location the above # in one that a Mr. Carl Hyden gave me but the number on my ID was 876-597-7058. He claims I have won $2.5 Million Dollars and an additional prize of a car, or vacation, or cash to a credit card. He has called several times, and I keep blocking his number but he seems to check his phone number by a the last two digits.

I will not fall for this, but many people will when they hear Publishers Clearing house.

I have report the various numbers to Do Not Call, but that has never stopped anything.

Got call from Jamaica. Asked how I was doing and I said I was OK. Said they were from publishers clearing house. Asked if I could hear them. I hung up. I believe this might be that scam where they want you to say Yes so they can used voice recognition to buy products or services.

Caller claiming to be "Linda Gates" from Publisher's Clearing House left voice message while we were away. Said it was urgent that we call to claim our prize. We were skeptical but called anyway. Once my husband, XXXXX, said the word "Yes", the person hung up.

We have just learned that this is a new scam where they record your voice saying "Yes"...and along with your phone number can make purchases in your name.

The two phone numbers that "Linda" Gates" left on the voice mail were 865-268-8135 and 876-853-7462. We called the 865 area code number.

Caller claimed to be Ralph Johnson with a very thick accent. He claimed that I was a second place winner for publishers clearing house and that I had not only one 7000 a week for life but a Mercedes and $537000.00 cashieres check. He said that it was not a scam and they were at the airport waiting to make sure I was home. All I had to to was call the number back and he would go over further I formation. I looked up the number and only thing you can find is in Chinese.

They call from the number I gave above & ask if I saw it on my caller ID. Then say they want to know if I'll be home tomorrow to accept the Mega Millon prize along with a car then they need to ask a few questions to verify me... Do I shop at Dollar General, WalMart, Walgreens, Kmart,&Target. When did I last shop there with my credit/ debit card. Also ask if I'm married, who & how many people I live with, my age, & where I work. They keep calling & give a fake business liscense as well.

This person called and said I had won $18 million and a new car. He kept repeating that he worked for a legitimate company and that this was not a scam. I said I was skeptical and he said he would deliver the money. He called me Sweetheart and I asked him not to do so. He gave me a confirmation number and then asked me to repeat it. He then asked me if I was a legal resident and I told him I was not going to give out any personal information unless I knew this was a real company and offer. He then used vulgar language to describe what he would do to me. I hung up. He called back and my husband told him that we were going to call the BBB and hung up. The man called back 4 or 5 more times but I did not answer. I knew this was a scam call but this was the second time in a month that I received one like this and I was frustrated by it. I wanted to find out what they did and let him know that I did not believe him/them.

A friend of ours received a phone call on her land line from a party claiming to be Publisher's Clearing House telling her that she had won a large prize.

She was told that, in order to claim her money, she needed to send them $1900. Fortunately, she had to contact her financial advisor to transfer funds and they told her that this was a scam.

She provided the very scanty details she had obtained to the Attorney General's office.

Don't know how common this is, but she certainly would have been taken if she had the funds in her account.
