I got a phone call from someone claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House. They said I had won a cash prize and I just had to pay $500 for shipping and handling of the "large check" that they would deliver to my house. I told them that I was going to report to the BBB and forfeit my prize. I do not have the name or the number of the caller.

I received a phone call from Gary stating that we won the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes and won a check and an automobile.  They stated we should have received a letter a few days ago.  He said they were in the Bryan/College Station area now.  I was instructed to call the GM, Albert Johnson at 876-485-9935.  I reached voice mail when calling this number.  The phone connection was not all that good but they did sound American.

Claim to be Publishers Clearing House. Wanted money via western union. Called from 1-876-355-3955. I did not go along when they wanted money for the claim ticket via the receipt from western union. The only information I believe them to have is cell phone number name and address.

David Rogers contacted my mother telling her he was a UPS driver in Lincoln and had a delivery for from Publishers Clearinghouse ( a large sum of money and a Mercedes Benz car). Later she received a call from James Hunter telling her they would be unable to deliver the winnings without certain criteria. They said she would need proper ID, routing and account numbers that matched the bank of the check she would receive, and last she would need an invitation receipt that would show final approval for her winnings. The receipt was endorsed by ScamPulse.com ( this was stated several times) and Walmart and Walgreens. She could go and use their ATMs to pay my 1% fee of what hadn't already by paid by Publishers. This fee would be $455 and cover unpaid state and federal tax for the winnings. The phone number she called and spoke with people was 1-876-852-5224. James Hunter. They said extension #9 but it sounded like they simply handed the phone over to another person in the room. She concluded the call and called your office to report this incident.

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.
