Publishers Clearing House Reports & Reviews – Page 69 (1712)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing house stating I won $960,00 and a Mercedes. Her name was Victoria Golden. I was not home at the time so they are to deliver prize tomorrow, Nov 1, 2016. She did not ask for payment for prize. She said I would have to give 2 forms of identification to their lawyer, David Brown. I have not done this nor have I seen David Brown. I was not asked for bank, credit card, or SS information. I was given a batch # 1985, conf# 392178, ck # 0098275300, pkg# B224. They called and I hung up, then they called back and my husband answered. He was asked why I hung up and he told them I thought it was a scam. Ms. Golden assured him that it was not a scam and gave me the information above in order to process the prize. I guess I well have some charge to my phone bill.

Publishes clearing house told me that I won, I just had to send them money.

David King called and stated that I won 950.000.00 The team will come out to my house and give me prize. I need to go Wal Mart to registered. Need to give him a call back to be able to stay in contact with him.
