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.

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.

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.
