My Mother in Law received a phone call ,stating she had won 2.5 million dollars, the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes, and go to the nearest Western Union office and pick up her check.

She stated she could not do that the caller then stated they would come to her home,when she questioned that they normaly surprise the winners, the caller stated, we want to make sure the winner is home.

Upon further investigation , Publishers Clearing House does not call the winners, they come to their home and surprise them, with the prize.

"Publisher's Clearinghouse" contacted my mom saying that she had won $2.5 million and had her write down a cheque number and many other prize codes to distract her. They asked for a lot of banking information (accounts, balances, last withdrawal, personal identification information). They said that they would deposit a large sum into her account, and that after confirming that it was there she was to send them certified cheque for the same amount to verify the account. They have continued to call, saying that they are on their way to see her. She has changed all of her accounts and credit card.

A person has called several times over the weekend and again today saying he is with the Publishers Clearing House and we have won a large amount of money but need to send money in order to collect it. I believe this is a scam.

Publishers Clearinghouse sent a check for $8000 through Bank of Michigan. She called the number given (613-712-0177) and they told her to deposit check but not tell anyone. It doesn't say anywhere that she needs to send money back.

Representative supposedly from Publishers Clearing House called and said that he was looking at a check for me for 2.5 million dollars but in order to collect my winnings I would have to pay $700 for taxes and fees. The US government was supposedly paying the rest. The caller had a very strong foreign accent. He said the sweepstakes was for seniors only.

Received phone call from Publishers Clearing house (David Clark) stating I was a winner of 350,000, a Mercedez, and $5,000.00 a month "Go to Wal-Mart, I'll go with ya. Get a card and put $680.00 on it. Since you're on Medicare, just pay $340.00." "David" said they are accredited with the ScamPulse.com, "they know about this phone call. BBB records this phone call so you're safe." I told him I didn't have a cell phone and my cord wasn't long enough to reach all the way to Wal-Mart. He told me I could write a check instead. He was constantly putting me on hold for minutes at a time. He never supplied me with an address to mail the check to. He also asked me banking info (which I didn't give to him) and questions about needing a loan. "Why would I need a loan if I just won all this?!

Knew it was a scam from the beginning. Called BBB to inform them on this situation.

Received a phone call from Publishers Clearing House saying I won $950,000 and a Mercedes. Was told to go to a Super Walmart & get a prepaid debit card receipt for $195.25. Return home and your prize will arrive 10 minutes after that. Did not go to Walmart. You should not have to pay money to get a prize. A half an hour later my husband got the same call winning $950,000 & Jeep. And both our confirmation numbers were the same.

I received a call from Publisher's Clearinghouse saying I have been chosen to receive a prize of $500,000. They made it sound very legitimate giving all kinds of numbers for taxes, etc. They gave me a winning claim number and a US Lottery and Gaming phone number that I could call and verify that I was actually a winner. They said I would have to pay them $1,500 today and if I don't, I would forfeit the prize and someone else would win it. He said we would get a cashier's check and stated that he was with some law firm. He said his name was Christopher Glenn.

Was told I had won $950,000 and a new Mercedes car. I was told that the call was being recorded by the ScamPulse.com and was also told multiple times that this was a legitimate winner notification. I was asked to have my identification, the prize number that was given to me by the first caller (Mark Meyers) which was 357159-US, and that I needed a "shipping and handling receipt" to have in hand before the prize patrol showed up Friday 10/30/15 at 9am. The shipping and handling receipt could be gotten from Safeway or Walmart by asking for a Western Union moneygram for $950.00 or if I didn't have the full amount, I could get a sponsorship for $450 or $500. I was told several times that I sounded skeptical about the prize & if I wanted to end the call, I would forfeit the prize or I could transfer the prize money to charity. Mr. Mason ended the call by saying that when the prize people showed up, I could call him & apologize.

Man, who refers to himself as Dave Sawyer, called consumer and told me I had won $850. In order to get the money I had to drive to my bank and call him back once I was in the parking lot. The number he told me to call was 8-776-787-2318 but the number that showed up on my cellphone was 8-766-777-2318. He said once I was at the bank I should go through the drive through and ask for cash. I would receive a check in my name for $850 and use the account number 09566162 to receive the money. He doesn't want to take no for an answer.
