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.

A man whose name sounded like he was ssaying Mark Renfro called to say that my mother had won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes for 2 and 1/2 million dollars and a 2016 Mercedes Benz. She asked how much money she had to give him, and he responded "$3000.00. She stated "this is a scam" and hung up.

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.

A Jamaican number which is 876-502-8234 calling claiming to be part of the publishers clearing house and trying to scam people into paying hundreds of dollars claiming it's for tax reasons. This needs to be stopped and the people should be arrested

Called wife on cell phone. Knew her name, first and last name. They also knew where she was. Told her that she had won the publisher clearing house sweepstake. 2.5 million dollars, and a 2015 Mercedes. But in order to collect they needed her to wisteria union them $899.99. This was some percentage of the taxes owed. They also had a voice that was disguised. Like a Computor voice. She told them that she was going to call Bbb. At that time they said to go ahead but give them a return call! They also asked her age? Hope you can do something with these guys.

Received an unsolicited phone call from a man with a heavy foreign accent. He identified himself as "David Johnson with Publisher's Clearing House (PCH) ~ you know, the one ma'am, that gives prizes to elder citizens." He called to tell me that I had won $1.8 million dollars! During the course of the conversation, he advised that the call was being monitored by the ScamPulse.com, the IRS, and Homeland Security. He stated that the cash prize was being held, since PCH could not locate the winner ~ namely, me. In order to cover the "storage fee" and release the funds for "immediate delivery", a Money Gram or Western Union wire transfer in the amount of $150 must be sent. When I confronted him over his attempts to scam, he stated, "Ma'am, you need to flush your brain." I advised that the phone number he called is on the National Do Not Call Registry and requested that he place the number on his "do not call list", and promptly ended the call.

Received a letter in the mail, written on Publishers Clearing House letterhead. The envelope had a Canadian stamp on it and the return address was the logo for The Hartford. the letter itself had replicas of many legitimate company logos with company names - Reader's Digest, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, AIA. Included in the letter was a very legitimate looking check, made out to me - *** *** - for $7,500.00 to"cover insurance and attorney fees." I was to call the claim manager, Michelle Ryan at 1-289-923-1762 BEFORE depositing the check. She would talk me through the necessary steps to claim my second place prize of two million five hundred thousand dollars! the letter stated that as required by Federal and State laws, my security code (PCH4QTR1083) and prize information must be kept strictly confidential.

Check is made out on a Union Bank check, Fremont #118, 39305 Paseo Padre Parkway, Fremont, CA 94538, 16-49/1220. Account owner is FOLIO, Inc., 4633 Old Ironsides Drive, Suite 326, Santa Clara, CA 95054.

I fear that there are gullible people receiving this who will fall for it and lose a good deal of money.

They said they were publishers clearing house and I was this month's winner but I knew right away it was a scam. He tried acting like a woman as well and when I said I knew it was the same person he called me a mother [censored] and said "One day I will shake your money tree, it may not be your money tree, it could be your grandkids money tree but I will shake your money tree.

I received a phone call telling me I had won 85 million dollars and a car. I needed to pay the fees for the car and the money. They wanted me to send them $1,000 to cover all of their costs, but I would get it back in my winnings.
