Initial call to my mother's home gave us an ID # and phone number to call to claim prize. ID #EI38818JA Phone #760-316-3706. We called and the person confirmed we have won and someone would be showing up to the house the same day with a cashiers check and we would be escorted to the bank to cash it. The time came and passed and the guy called back and asked why I didn't call him when they didn't show up and insinuated it was my fault they weren't there. He still wanted to say we were receiving a visit and said he would call me back. I was trying to let it play out to report the results but they have not showed up....

People called and said I had won 950,000.00 in Publishers Clearing House contest and I needed to send 950.00 to go to the bank and withdraw the money and the prize patrol would come by and bring me a check and I was to give them the 950.00. I told them I would not get money out of the bank and give to them. I also called the PCH Fraud division and reported to them with phone numbers and names.

This guy called my mother, said he was David Clark and she had just won $450,000.00. All she had to do was overnight express a check for $300.00 to them. Check made out to Marah Smith. She needed to mail that asap because they were 45 minutes away with her check.

On November 16, 2016 I received a phone call from J M Kingston who was with the Publisher's Clearinghouse and I had won second prize for a million dollars and a new Mercedes. I stated that I hadn't contacted Publishers Clearinghouse; however, she stated that I paid my taxes on time and that I shopped at Walmart. She instructed me to go to the nearest Western Union Office and buy a claim prize receipt. She asked me how much money I had. I said I don't have any. She said you have to have some and I said I have $50.00 and she said that would work. The reason I needed the receipt was for IRS reporting and I would get my prize. I said I wasn't giving no money to nobody. She said this is legitimate and it was between her and I. I did not even know where a Western Union office was. I hung up and I have received approximately four additional calls today, November 17, 2016.

A man who said he was with Publisher's Clearing House called and said that I won.... He said his name was David Peterson Badge # 77065

He said I'd won 2 1/2 million and a 20016th Mercedes and $10,000 dollars a month for the rest of my life. He gave me claim # , ticket #, prize ID & a reference #. I figured it might be a scam and he said ot wasn't. So, I then told him my husband was calling the ScamPulse.com on the other phone and they then abruptly hung up. I didn't lose any money because ,I caught it in time.....

I received a letter from Publisher's Clearing House stating I won $550,000. In the letter was a check for $7897. I called 647-219-2424 and Jim Miller answered. He told me to deposit the check and call him back and when I called him back he would deliver via UPS $450,000 this afternoon. I did not deposit the check or call him back as I know this is a scam.

Received a phone call from a man claiming to be with Publisher's clearinghouse. Told me I won 1 million dollars, but to claim my check I needed to draft a check for $500 out of my account. They gave me an account number, a PIN code and a number to call about my winnings. They informed me the number they provided would connect me with an automated answering service.

I received a phone call this morning from someone claiming to be with Publisher's Clearinghouse telling me I had won $1,000 a week for life and $750,000 and a new 2016 Mercedes. They said in order for the prizes to be delivered to my house, I needed to wire $200 Walmart to Walmart. I told them I would get a ride to a Walmart right now. About 2 minutes later they called me back asking if I had changed my mind.

I was called and told I had won the Publisher's Clearing House award based on a "coupon" I sent in last January. I was very cautious and after much questioning, I was told I should go to get a "moneygram" at Maria's (he didn't give me the address, supposedly in Knoxville, and said the delivery team was 1 hour away, but I would need to verify my account for the money to be deposited. I gave the phone to my husband and he asked for a phone number to call Bruce Goldman, the name given me at the beginning of the call, and we would call to verify at Publisher's Clearing house then return his call. He said he would do that, then hung up.

I had returned the above phone number earlier and received a message that he would "return my call" and Have a Blessed Day.

I would like this investigated to save some person who might fall for this Scam.

Thanks

The caller said his name was David Johnson and I won 2.5m and Mercedes Benz from PCH. He also put his manager on the line and his name was John White his ext :25 ID 933145 check no 5058500127. He asked me to get a Walmart to Walmart sender form for $299 and send it to Betty Onellion. All this time he did not want me to disconnect. After I made the transaction, I called PCH and found out it was a scam. So rushed back to Walmart and cancelled it. He called back and left a message that he has my credit card info. I am worried he knows my address.

Phone call from the number above stated they were from Publishers Clearing House and that they were about to award me a cashier check for 9.5 Million Dollars. They told me that I needed to go to Walgreens, Bank of America, or Dollar General to pay for insurance on the dollar amount before the prize was delivered to my home and that they were in the State and going to be delivering the prize in 45 minutes. Spoke with local Walgreens and they said several other people had been in and told to wire money for insurance and that it was a scam.
