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.

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.

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.
