I received a call on my cell phone on Friday Jan. 20, 2017 from David King who stated that I had won a Publisher's Clearing House prize for $2.5 Million dollars and a Mercedes Auto. When I tried to gain more info, he told me that his business was closing for the day and asked me to call back the next day. I tried to contact him the next morning he answered, but, said he was on another line and would call me back later. He never did. I assumed it was a scam.

I did a Google Chrome request to find out what part of the country call area code 876 was from, and the answer was Jamaica. I then asked what scams were tied to Jamaica and ones similar to mine were listed.

I was told that I won a car and a bunch of money, I just needed to set up a new bank account so that they could deposit me $5,000 in that account. When I told the guy I wasn't giving him any info until I spoke to the ScamPulse.com he said "Don't do that, they'll tell you it is a scam"

Said I had won big but needed to pay $380 then negotiated down to $50 for them to deliver my money. Said they had me on their GPS and had someone in the area ready to bring my millions. Called BBB instead to be sure it was a scam.

I got a phone call from "Mark Anderson" saying that I had won a sweepstakes in the amount of $3.5 million dollars from Publishers Clearing House, requesting that I call him back Monday am because he had some paperwork to do. Then he would show up at my door with a certified check for $3.5 million, plus a 2017 Mercedes Benz. What threw me off was the fact that he did not ask for any personal information, but I told him that I was working Monday am, but I would call him back on Wednesday am. I am going to assume that the call-back is when he would attempt to get my personal information. Well, he's going to be disappointed, because I'm mot calling him back Wed, or any other day.

Was informed that I won over three hundred thousand dollars and they were dealing with seniors who had played sweepstakes in the past with PCH and never won. Within twenty four hours I needed to send him five thousand dollars to cover taxes. When I told him I did not have it he hung up on me.

I received a call from a David Sawyer saying he was with Publisher's Clearinghouse. He told me my wife had won 3.5 Million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. He gave a 800# and claim # but I realized this was a scam because I could hear kids and a rooster in the background. This David Sawyer offered to meet me at the bank to give me a cashier's check. He said 9% in taxes would be taken from the check. He asked how late our bank was open. When I told him I believed it was a scam he told me he was a man of God.

Caller said we needed to go Walmart and send $100 to receive a Mercedes Benz and $550,000 (the dollar amount changed in the same call). When we started questioning the caller said that they would kill everyone in our home with C4 explosives as soon as the call was disconnected.

Scammer, Michael Turner, said that I had won over $2 million from Publishers Clearing House and that I would need to get a Western Union money gram or other means of getting $50 to Norma Barnhart in Ashtabula, OH. I did not participate in the scam, but was tempted. I do not believe that you have to pay money to receive money in a contest.

We were contacted by a man with a foreign accent named James Green, saying we had won a million dollars from Publisher's Clearing House. He told us he needed us to pay the taxes first, and it was $356. We told him that sounded funny and that we'd have to check it out. He kept calling, demanding we go to Walmart or CVS to get gift cards to pay the taxes. Said he was coming by the house on two different occasions, but never showed up. He started getting very angry with me and my husband. He said his badge number was 75608 and our claim ID was #4810. I called the local police and the BBB. He answers the phone with "Publisher's Clearing House, this is James Green". He continued to call for several days, but we told him we were not going to give him any money for taxes. We just hang up now when he calls, but he's getting very mad on the phone. His number is 876-465-1629 and he says he is in Northern Alabama.
