Male called and told me that I had 2.5 million and a car. I was given this number to call and a pin number. Then he told me once I called that number and entered my pin I would receive my money and car. The number that he called me from was from Kingston, Jamaica. The number is 1-876-576-4639. He told me to call this number and enter my pin. That number is 1-866-996-5997. I called it and entered my pin number and they told me to go to my nearest prize facility with a photo ID and my pin number to receive my money and car. The only thing is when you call the 866-996-5997 number they do not tell you who you are calling or where the nearest prize facility is at. This man has called me 4 times within the last 45 minutes. The second time he called my phone cut off in another important call to the doctor's office that I am trying to call back. The last 2 times he has called I had my mom pretend to be my lawyer and she talked to him and told him that she was turning him into the cops and he hung up. As of 2:21 p.m. he has not called back. I would like for y'all to put a stop to this scam before someone gets hurt or they loose a lot of money. Thank you in advance.

I received a call from Publishers Clearing House today. He told me I was a grand prize winner of $10,199. Would receive one time certified check. Also won a 2016 Chrysler car. I asked the value of the car. He could not tell me the value. It was a silver car with a purple muffler. Told me we sent you a mailing and you did not respond. Car would be delivered by UPS on a flat bed truck. Delivered by Mrs. Ellen Linder. Check would be from Bank of South America. Caller stated the FBI was monitoring the call. I asked if I could call him back and he gave me two phone numbers. 202-241-7953 and 876-257-4042. I did not call back. He had stated my husband entered contest which he never did. Asked me for the name of my bank several times. I did not give the name of my bank. Caller knew my name and address. I stated I would call him back and the call ended.

We keep receiving calls from someone saying they are with the Publisher's Clearing House. The foreign speaking man says that we have won so many millions of dollars. I just hang up the phone.

I received a call from Publisher's Clearinghouse from a Paul Anderson. He said I won a large prize, but would need to send $900 to them in order to receive it. I know this is a scam, because you would not need to send money to receive a prize.

This person called twice before on my cell phone with caller ID shows the number is from Kingston, Jamaica. I finally answered and listened to a man stating he's from the Publisher Clearing House and I won $850, 000 and a brand new Mercedes car so I asked how did I win if I haven't enter the drawing so he says I was randomly selected by one of my receipts like Walmart so I listened to find out what the catch was and he says all they needed was a copy of my photo ID and I would have to pay 1 percent of my winnings and $360 for processing fees so they could automatically take care of my withholdings to the IRS. I asked the guy again what company he was calling from and again he said Publisher Clearing House from Queens, NY! I corrected him by telling him he was calling from Kingston, Jamaica and he denied it and said he's calling from Queens. I then told him I was going to report him and this number. The guy then later said "do you want a Jamaica guy?" "Do you want a Jamaica guy?" I hung up.

He never said his name and he has an accent like he was really from Jamaica but he was trying real hard to speak

without it. Beware of this scammer!!!$3

I received a phone call on my cell phone. The phone number that came up indicated that it was coming from Jamaica. The person on the line indicated that he was calling from Publisher's Clearing House in New York and that I had won $900,000. To claim my prize, I was told to go to the nearest Walgreens where they had a money gram and to send more than $500 to the IRS before I could be given my winnings.

They wanted me to get $850.00 dollars in cash to pay for a 1% of the income tax of an $850,500.00 lottery I had won. I was also to receive a new Mercedes E-Series car. I was to go to Western Union and send the money by wire. As soon as they got the money as proof that I could pay the 1% I would receive my winnings.

Received a call from Robert Jones saying I had won the Publisher's Clearing House prize of $128 million. All I need to do was go to Safeway, get a prepaid card and pay the 1% which amounted to $128.00. Then my prize money and my new Chevy Malibu would be delivered to my house in Saraland. But I live in Semmes.

Caller informed us that we had won a prize & asked if we wanted to receive it at our Arkansas address.When I told him no, He became very vulgar and told me "then get the f--k off my phone b---h".I called the number back, He answered "Michael Anderson with Publishers House". However the name on the caller I D was J.M.Kingston. I believe that he was going to ask for money for us to receive "our prize".

I ask If he could send me a invoice and I would call them back, he said no we ave to do it over the phone. I said I am sorry i don't want to be involved in any scam. he said I could look at my phone and see that there is a number there. and they don't sell the code on the back of the charge card. and he said I will be giving you a tracking number. I said said well anyone can come up with a phone number, and I could make up a tracking number and it has to be 16 digits long. So no. your getting my card information. I said I didn't want to be involved in any scam. he does have other personal information. and i hope nothing comes of it. if your a legit deal you will mail me a invoice, he said mam you have a good day and hung up.(caller i.d.269-462-8088), (when my husband heard was going on. he told me ITS A SCAM!) also he said up the in Michigan alot. but the number on my caller id is a Michigan number, I wished i would looked at the before i kept giving him and her information.

The caller told me that I had won 9.5 million dollars in the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. I know this was a scam because I got scammed a year or so ago and sent money for taxes and other fees to collect another bogus award. He said his name was Mr. Simms and he was calling from 702-347-2255

My daughter was phoned by people who said they were from Publisher's Clearing House. They told her to open a bank account, and then she would deposit a cheque they gave her. With that she would pay insurance fees to get the winnings. The phone number they used was 876-802-1186. The number showed up as being from Jamaica.
