Received a phone call from an "Unknown" number at 11:09 am claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House. The caller informed me that I had won a 3rd place price which included $250,000 lump sum of money plus $5000 a week for the rest of my life and a 2016 Jaguar. He said the prize patrol was 1 hour and 15 min away from my home in Mississippi. Asked how I was feeling to which I replied "unsure." He explained that 2 vans labeled prize patrol along along with a flat bed trailer with the Jaguar would be arriving at my home. He asked if I had seen the prize patrol commercials before to which I replied yes. He claimed that is what I could expect. He asked if I would allow media to be present or prefer to keep it confidential. I responded confidential and was immediately hung up on. A second call was received again from "unknown" at 11:20 a.m. The same man apologized for the disconnection. He said that I needed to go to a local union to fill out a claimers receipt which I would need along with a photo id when the prize patrol arrived at my door. He located the nearest Union at Walmart and asked if I would be able to get this done and be back at my house within 1 hour and 15 min. He said that I would receive a 10 digit reference # on the claimers receipt which I would give to the prize patrol. He then asked if he could send a ping to my cell phone to identify my location. I told him I was not comfortable with that. He asked why and I told him I was unsure if this was legitimate. Told him that I read online that it was a scam if a call was made notifying me of my prize. He asked what website I was looking at and I told him pch.com. He responded with you asked to remain confidential and said that is why he was required to call but if I did not need the money he understood. I then asked for his name and he responded with "I am about to give you all this money and you don't remember my name? Have you listened to anything I have said to you?" I responded with if you were a legitimate prize company about to give me money then you would not be this rude. He responded with "Oh so now you are calling me rude?" I said give me your name please because no, I did not catch it at the beginning of the call. He said his name was Michael Carter. I asked for a phone number so that I could call him back and he said it should be on your caller id. I told him it said unknown and was not. He gave me the number 876-339-2918. I told him that I would give him a call back shortly. He asked if I would call back once I got to the union. I said sure. He then said and don't forget about the fee I told you about. I said I did not hear him say anything about a fee. He said the fee pending paid for the claimer's receipt and said he believed it was $492. I told him thank you and hung up.

Received phone call stating I had won $850,000. Now all I need to do is send $850 to claim my winnings.

Publishers Clearing House had 3.5 million dollars for me. Instructed to go to Western Union and give them my information

I received a letter from Publishers Clearing House telling me that I am a "pending" winner of their sweepstakes. I just need to send them in them final paperwork along with $31.00 to enter. The address on the envelop is 61-43 Springfield Blvd. # 640370, Oakland Garden NY 11364

- Warner Robins, GA, USA

For the past few days I have been contacted by phone number 876-466-8921 claiming to be Publishers Clearing House informing me I have won $750,000 and a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Classic. The only catch is I have to pay $500 in taxes and fees via MoneyGram to obtain my winnings.

- Covington, LA, USA

A man named David Green called from (876) 569-4132 and said he was a delivery guy from Publishers Clearing House. Confirmed my name and address, and then asked me to call his supervisor - supposed General Manager John Wilson ((876) 895-0597 x 5. This sounded VERY believable. Mr. "Wilson" told me there would be a "Betty Clark" from Publishers there at my house wtih a Lawyer named Mary Miller, and 3 local police officers to deliver my prize money along with a brand new 2016 Mercedes Benz.

He asked me to head straight home and he would stay on the telephone with me. After I got in my car to travel home - it was then he advised I would have to stop at a Western Union to send the tax owed on my winnings ($185.25) to some Indian woman's name.

I certainly then questioned as to why I would be paying taxes on a check I have never received and why wouldn't the check be made payable to the IRS directly or a bank. That's when he started with the run around.

I am very disappointed that I fell for this. Luckily no money was taken from me only time and emotions going up and down.

PLEASE REPORT THESE ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBERS. THANK YOU

My wife was called a few minutes ago from a man (David Collis @ 1-876-422-5629, Kingston, Jamaica) with Publishers Clearing House, to tell her that she had won $2.5 million. In order to claim this prize, she needed to wait for him to call her back this evening around 7:00 to 7:30 pm, and answer some questions. I think the whole thing is a scam but we hope it is true. (She has been entering the PCH contest)

When I told him that I did not have that amount he continued to tell me that I had to pay taxes in order to receive the money. He finally said that if I could pay $1200, I could receive the money. I told him that I had that amount and he said for me to call him first thing in the morning. He gave me his name Jack Taylor and number 516-515-4732 and we disconnected the call.
