Said I had won $958 Thousand dollars and just needed to send some money, I think $200 to claim the prize before they could send a person to deliver it. I told him no we could go to the bank when he gets here with my money. I called the BBB.

A person called and identified themselves as a Publisher's Clearing House representative. They said that I had won $1.5 million and they wanted to send it to me today. I needed to pay the taxes on it first and to do so I would need to send a moneygram of $350 dollars to a person in Boston, MA. I realized it was a scam before I sent any money.

I received a phone call today stating I won the big prize for Publisher's Clearinghouse. In order to collect the prize I was told I needed to go to Kroger and get a Itunes card an put $250 on it for the taxes and fees. I was told I would get it back once I received the check for the prize money. I called the Central OH ScamPulse.com to report it and they told me to always keep a copy of how I will be contacted from the PCH in the future so I would not be a victim of this scam. So glad I called first.

Called and stated won $800,000.00 from Publishers Clearing. Will deliver a package to me today. Told caller this was a scam. and hung up. State he was calling from Anderson, SC.

Received phone call from Adams and Reese Attorney in Columbia, SC stating that I won 500,000.00. I am suppose to talk with the attorney. He will call me back around 1:00 PM today. I called the number back and could not get a response.

- Roaring Spring, PA, USA

Received a call from Publishers Clearing House saying I won $2,000,000. I hadn't entered PCH sweepstakes, but he said I won by shopping at WalMart. (Who doesn't) All I need to do is open a new bank account. But I would have to pay the taxes first. I tried to get some logical details and the caller got irritated and said they will just give the money to charity or give it to someone else. I told him I would check it out and I would call him back. He gave me a "toll free" number of 630-206-4574. He had a thick Southeast Asian accent and his name was Craig Anderson.

Received a call from Publisher's Clearing House that I have won $1 million and a new Mercedes. I was given a number to call US Delivery Service to arrange for the pick-up. I payed $10K deposit on the winnings. I also paid $3K for delivery fees. They asked me to pay $4,800 one time and 1K this morning.

- Greenville, SC, USA

Won 1.5 million, in a second place in drawing.

Called and said I won a car and cash. Left another number to call to receive this "prize" 876 563-7556 with a name of John Chopper. Looked up the number it's from Jamaica. I didn't call.

Ms. Kelly Williams called notifying me that I have won $1.5 million dollars and my choice of any color Mercedes Benz. I was instructed to not tell anyone. I was given a phone number to call the following day at 9:00 pm to they know that I am healthy, eating right and okay. I was asked to pay $510 for the vehicle tax. They have called me multiple times per day seeking bank information and personal information. She said they were Publisher's Clearing House and that the Mercedes will be delivered on a flat-bed truck.

- Boiling Springs, SC, USA

Called and stated I applied recently. 2nd place finisher, won 2.5 million dollars. Wanted money private or on TV. don't tell anyone about this call. Go to bank and get $755.89, which was my fee. Agencies have been contacted, Federal Government have been contacted about paying taxes on this money. Publisher's Clearing will come to my house and bring a new Range Rover, will drive me to the banks to cash the check. Publisher's Clearing House will call me back on 3rd or 4th to set everything up.

A caller claimed to be from Publisher's Clearing House. He had an accent. He wanted me to go to Western Union and send money to his "IRS contact" before the prize team showed up at my door in 45 minutes. I won 1.2 million dollars and a Mercedes! I only needed an ID and a check to cover part of the taxes. When I told him I didn't have 255 dollars, he said "how much do you have?" When I questioned why his phone number was blocked, he had an answer and gave me a number it started with 775. He called me "Sweetheart." He said, "No one is trying to grab you between the legs or pull your leg." He was very persistent and had an answer for everything. I fear that an elderly or compromised person would absolutely fall for this scam. I was on the phone for 17 minutes before I hung up. He was not going to stop trying to convince me. I wish I could tell you who it was. He name checked the CEO of Publisher's Clearing house. He claimed he would give me a better deal even if it got him fired. I hope you shut these ruthless liars down.

Have won 1.5 M and a 2016 Mercades

Asked what bank I would be using to deposit my winnings.

Called and wanted to know if I could meet them at Walmart in Jasper , al today to fill out 21 documents because I had won 2,000,000.00. I told them I wasn't coming d that it didn't sound right and they hung up. Called back number and same person answered publishers clearing house and I hung up and started reporting it to you. They reached me on. Private cell. Thanks.

- Ocean View, HI, USA

David Sawyer called stating that I won 2.6 million dollars plus a Chrysler red convertible. He asked me to pay $699.00 for shipping and handling, and that Mary Wilson will come by and deliver the check to me. He provided me a confirmation number and asked me to pay either by a money gram or take money directly from my checking account. I could tell it wasn't really PCH because I could hear a kid in the background. I asked him about it and he said that no, that someone is working on a machine.

Craig Anderson from Publishers Clearing house called 002-425-0201 , 876-293-2257 saying she won $2 million & BMW. Was to send $810.92 US Dept of treasury. *** *** *** *** ** *** **.
