I recd a call today from Publisher's Clearing House that I won $950,000 and a brand new Mercedes Benz. All I had to do was go to Walmart and purchase a moneygram for $1700 to pay for taxes (which is 1% of the prize). When the driver shows up at my house, all I had to do was give them the receipt for the moneygram in order to receive my prize. The man (with an accent) told me he was a Christian but I knew it was a scam.

I recd a call this morning at 10:00 AM and I spoke to Wayne Jefferson. He said he was w/Publisher's Clearing House and I won 5 million dollars but I had to send $159. Wayne had an accent and I couldn't fully understand why I had to send $159. He tried to explain but I still couldn't understand him. We both hung up. I'm sure this was a scam.

876 area code is in Jamaica.

Caller said I won 1.5 million us dollars tax free & 2016 white mercedes. All I had to do was go to walmart and get a money gram card in the amount of $120 and someone would be out to deliver the check in about 20 minutes. They wanted my husband to stay home and they had my husband on the home phone while I was going to the store. Also had me on my cell phone while I was gone to the store saying that when I get the card that his boss would speak with me & would give me further instructions. Also told me that my husband would be the beneficiary while I was gone. I became more suspicious and went back home.

I received a call from this number on 5-14-16 at 10:42 am. He said he was with Publishers Clearing House and that I had won 8.4 million plus $7000 a week for the rest of my life . He said he had to fill out a form before we could proceed. I didn't give him any personal info, but he did ask how old I was and I told him. He told me they were going to send someone over to my house with the big check, so I asked him what address they were going to and he gave me a previous address. I told him I didn't live there anymore. He said we would update that in a minute. I told him that I needed some proof that this wasn't a scam and he got defensive and called me a liar. I told him I was going to report the number to the ScamPulse.com and he hung up. Although I didn't give him any PI, they seemed to have enough info that maybe just giving them my age is enough to steal my identity??

I live in Lehighton, PA. Two days ago I got a call claiming to be Publishers Clearing House. I could hear someone in the background coaxing the speaker. When I questioned their validity, the man told me I was chosend because I pay my electric bill on time. Then he questioned me: You do pay your bill on time don't you? Again I could hear someone coaching the speaker who had a very heavy accent. I said, " If you chose me you must know the answer to that question." Then they tell me I won a large amount of money, 1.5 million. I told them to prove their validity again because the PCH usually surprises people at their door. They said they wanted to come to my house tomorrow at 1:30. They asked if I would be home at that time. I paused as they asked the same question about being home. At this time I had had enough and hung up. I didn't want to continue this scam. I don't know what they would have asked for next. They tried to call immediately agaim, but I did not answer. I could not trace the number because it read private caller. Why was I so cautious? Because my sister from Kunkletown, Pa just told me a very similar story just weeks earlier. She received a call and had won a car and , I beleive, 5 million. She too questioned the caller in depth. They actually asked for her address etc. Finally, she hung up, too.

I received a letter in the mail and it says its from Publishers Clearing House addressed to me with a check from the bank HSBC in my name for $7,697. It looked real and I was still leary about this so I called the phone # on the sheet and a security code#. When I called he told me that my name was picked randomly and to go and deposit this check in my checking account and then call him back. I hesitated about this but me and my wife do send in to the Publishers Clearing House so we thought well maybe it is true. So I went to Chase Bank and decided I would open a separate checking account with this check, just in case. So I did. The manager at the bank said it was a good check so I opened it up and he said it would clear in three days. So I called back the phone # on the sheet and informed them I put it in. A couple of days later I checked back at Chase bank (they were very nice to me) and he said the check cleared. So I thought wow could this be true. I called the # back on the sheet and he said that in a couple of days they would be at my door with the balance of the winnings. When I called him back he said for me to take $4,000 from the check because it was for a lawyer and keep it in my pocket and when the come to bring me the balance I will already have that amount out for a lawyer. But I did not. Well on that next day the bank called and said the check was no good and is a fraud. So I am attaching the front and back of what they sent me because this needs to be reported. They used a reputable name that does give out winnings and someone is going to get hurt. However, I did not attach my bank receipt because its in my name. If I would have taken the money out of the bank and believed when they came to the door I would have been out $4,000 . I don't want anyone else to think this is a good thing. It might get to someone that is really in need and they take them for what they have.

I received a call from the Directory of Publisher's Clearing House. The guy was calling from Kingston Jamaica. He had me to call someone else to give them some information about myself. This person said they needed information for the IRS. I told him that I didn't know him and didn't feel comfortable giving out any personal information.
