I, *** ***, got a phone call on my, what's suppose to be private government, phone from two different numbers. The first is (876)2599167 and the second (239)3494983 from a guy claiming to be Tom Tavares the head dog of PCH (Publishers Clearing House) stating I won 7.5 million dollars. He then wanted me to go to the nearest Western Union and get a government receipt of $175. Then, call him back and they would come to my house and give me my check and escort me back to the Western Union place to get the $175 back. I asked why the area code was from Jamaica. He then stated it was Jamaica New York and he was a God abiding man who wouldn't scam anyone. When he told me I had to trust him and not the scam sites, I told him I was always told to trust my gut. In which I did. He got upset and told me so you don't want the money. I said it's a scam and he hung up. He gave me an ID number to use at the Western Union store; the ID # is TT9698US

I was contacted by a man from a Jamaican number. The man gave me his name, David Johnson and his phone number and extension. He told me that I had won the 3rd place prize for this state. He told me the amount of the prize, the bonus prize (range rover), he even gave me a confirmation number for the check and the car. He then gave me the name of the company accountant, lawyer, and ups delivery person who would be delivering my prize. Everything sounded too good to be true until he said that I would need to pay a 1% tax on the amount of money that I would receive, which was $299, but said that the lawyer who would deliver my check would also have an envelope with a cash reimbursement for the 1% tax that I would have to pay. After he gave me all of this information, and I told him I couldn't pay that tax, he kept pushing and asking when I would be able to pay it and if I couldn't pay it then they would donate my prize to a company of my choice (that's on the list). He also mentioned that the phone call was being recorded by the BBB. So I finally got him off of the phone and was able to check around. Well I made my way to the PCH official website which has multiple tips on avoiding scams. 1 of those tips said that PCH NEVER calls ahead of delivery, and if you win a PCH prize, you win and that's it. There is no fee or tax. Winning is free. So please be aware. This man almost convinced me and would have gotten my money had I not looked at the PCH website. He was very convincing and all of those names and numbers makes it even more convincing. Who wouldn't want to win $2.8 million and a range rover. That's a weekly dream for me so of course I got excited but I'm glad I check my resources.

Reviewed a letter from Publishing Clearing House that my father won a prize of $2,500.000.00. Included with the letter was a check for $7291.30. The maker of the check is Draco Services Inc. it also states to contact the claim manager before cashing the check. The claim manager is Andy Jones. The check looks real bit after doing some online research, I believe it's fake.

They are calling saying they are with publishers clearing house. And you've won x amount of money but you need to pay legal fees before you can receive the money. According to publishers clearing house official website, they never ask you to send money. This last call came from Jamaica. They got upset when I told them what I knew.

Someone with an accent using the name Mark Pressman called claiming to be with Publisher's Clearing house and that I had won 2nd prize of $955,000 and a 2016 GMC truck. The prize would be delivered today provided I went to Walmart and wired 1% of my winnings in order to cover taxes and shipping and handling. I told him this is bull[censored] and don't call my damn phone again. He called from this number

876-837-8912. Jamaica. 5 minutes later the same guy answered the phone and I hung up.

on 11/12/15 received phone call from 1-876-840-3621 from man claiming to be James Cooper. He stated I won 1.5 dollars from Publishers Clearing House. He gave me prize claim # (6 digits plus P C H at the end) and his bosses name; John Ford. He told me to call 1-876-840-3621 (which is the same number he called me from) ask for John Ford, reference prize claim number and his name to claim my prize. I believe when i called and spoke with John he was the same person who called initially. He told me to go to Safeway $498. which they required before I'd publicly be rewarded the Grand Prize!

I keep getting calls every single day saying I have won 3.5 million dollars and a new car.  They are wanting us to send money.  Now they are threatening us (my Mom and me) that they are sending a bomb if we do not send them some money.  Their phone number is 876-325-2126.  They are cussing at us using the F U word.  They have an accent from another country.  Not sure where.  But they are definitely not American.  They said they were with Publishers Clearing House.

Michael Anderson of Publishers Clearing house called and said I won 1.5 million. he said the certified check id was 0018576604. gave me a 6 digit number and said call 1-866-996-5997. I called and put in 6 digit number and it said my prize was reserved. called Michael Anderson back at 1-876-595-3426 . he said prize would be deliver to my home in 1 hour and 35 minutes. Mary Smith would deliver. However, I needed the invitation and pictured id to get the check. I would need to pay $499. to get the invitation....that this was required to cover taxes. I told them they were crazy. My guess is they got my phone number from ***.com or ***.com as I have been job searching. Makes sense guess they are going after desperate people. I logged this earlier today but I don't think I put the phone numbers in the case.
