A man named Mike Anderson called me last week and told me I won $2.5 million dollars from the PCH Sweepstakes. Yesterday morning I sent $225 for shipping and handling and they would bring the cash prize and a free car. When I got home he asked for $599 for the IRS so that I wouldn't have to pay taxes at the end of the year and it was tax-free. I sent this money using a Western Union Money Gram.

I sent the money to Afwayne Pallas.

Sunday night I received a call from a man who sounded like he was from Jamaica or something saying that he was calling on behalf of Publishing Clearing House and I had won $850,000 and a new Mercedes Benz. He said my confirmation number was 933145 and that I needed to call one of these numbers on Monday morning, 876-387-9034 or 213-39-9206, or 866-996-5997. He has already called back three times this morning but I did not answer. I looked up the numbers and one was a cell phone, one was in Jamaica, and one was for a TM Potts.

A man called me and told me I won $2.5 million from Publisher's Clearinghouse. He asked me if I was on my cell phone or home phone. He told me I needed to go to Western Union and send $155 to John Spitzer at 876.329.3765. He had a foreign accent. He also asked if I lived alone and if I was single or married, and if I drove a car and what kind of car I drove. It made me suspicious that someone was going to rob my house while I went to Western Union.

John Whashington from PCH wanted me to give 375.00 to Western Union under the name Daneisha Wright to pay my S.C. side fees for the delivery of my 1.5 million dollars. The delivery team was right up the road waiting on that receipt number to come charging with my money!

I just received a phone call from a James at Publisher's Clearing House. My number is registered with the Do Not Call Registry. I have not entered any sweepstakes from Publisher's Clearing House. The number that was showing on the caller I.D. was 876-470-2899

Anyway, when I told James "No Thank You" he got very belligerent and said "[censored] you, you [censored]". I'm pretty sure he was not representing Publisher's Clearing House. I'm not sure who I should report this to so if It's not the BBB please let me know.

The consumer was contacted by Joe Atkinson of Publishers Clearing House via email. The email address used was [email protected]. The message of the email was requesting that the consumer submit their address and phone number. The consumer indicated that they did sign up for PCH several years ago and at the time of sign up the consumer gave them her address and phone number as required to sing up. There was a reference number at the bottom of the email, ref#3477890. The email did not state that the consumer won a prize, and the only information they asked for was phone number and address.
