I got a phone call saying I won millions of dollars from Publisher's Clearinghouse. I had to go out and buy 2 Vanilla Visa gift cards for $500 each and call them back to pay the acceptance fee. I knew this was a scam right away.

I recieved a letter from Publisher's Clearinghouse stating I won $750,000 dollars.  It came with a check for $9,000 that I was supposed to deposit and then send them back $7,000 for taxes and handling fees.  The letter told me to call 814-844-5318 before I deposited the check and to only speak with Jerry Price.  He would tell me what to do next.

Someone claiming to be with Publishers Clearing House called me and said I won $2.5 million and a new truck.  He told me his name was John Mickles.  I had to send them $500 on a GreenDot card for IRS taxes.  They stayed on the phone with me while I purchased the card.  I had to send him the money through GreenDot - his name on the app was Grim Reape.  After I sent him the money they called me and said I had to send them more.

I reccieved a letter from someone claiming to be with  Publisher's Clearinghouse.  It stated that I had won $750,000.000 and that I was entered into their contest through cross promotions with credit card companies.  They included a check for $8,890.91 with the letter.  They told me I had to deposit this check and use the funds towards paying taxes and processing fees.  I was assigned a claims agent named James Goodman.  He would help me set up monthly installments.  The letter told me to keep everything confidential and not to tell anyone I won until after I started getting the monthly instalments. The letter was sogned by some claiming to be CEO Mark Lawson.

I have been getting multiple calls from someone claiming to work with Publishers Clearing House.  He said I won $18.5 million and that I would get $7,000 a month for the rest of my life.  He said I needed to go out to my local Dollar Store and purchase a prepaid gift card for $299 for taxes.  I told him that I knew that I did not have to pay taxws on a prize like this and he said it was to make sure I wasn't going to spend the money on drugs.  He also said that he would stay on the phone with me the entire time to make sure I has support.  He also asked for my bank acoount numbers so he can deposit the $7,000. The calls are coming from different numbers out of Florida.
