I've been receiving calls for the past three days, from different people, saying they work for Clearing House Sweepstakes Headquarters. A woman called today, she has an accent, it's hard for me to understand her. She wants me to make out a check for $500 to G**** W******* and put it in an envelope and mail it to *** * ***** **, Allen OK 74825. She said someone would be here within an hour of my having put the check in the mailbox to take it out of the mailbox and present me with 2 checks: $50 thousand and $2.5 million. I have to send the check to prove I have a bank account and to pay the IRS.

A customer of our financial institution brought in a check payable to herself from Clear Lake Capital Financial Services the was drawn on JPMorgan Chase Bank in Batton Rouge, La and the business being located in New Orleans, La, in the amount of $3,700.00. I am the Asst. BSA Officer for our financial institution and check the Reg CC report every morning to make sure if any holds done are correct. When I printed a copy of this check our teller put on hold the check appeared to be a little off. I called the teller to inquire if the customer may have mentioned how she came to be in possession of this check. The customer stated she was expecting an insurance check and thought maybe this check was it. The customer is an older lady and the teller informed her she would have to put the funds of the check on hold according to our Reg CC policy. Our customer made no objection. So when I came upon the check the next morning while checking the holds that were placed the previous days, I googled any information about this company and its address. I came upon a scam tracker report from your website stating the exact same check had been reported. I immediately changed the hold to extend the hold for 7 days and hold the entire amount for the funds of the check and sure enough the check was returned the next day with the funds still being on hold. Thank goodness our customer didn't lose any money. Upon further investigation, it turns out there is an individual using Facebook and getting people to sign up to receive these checks in return for being a shopper. We tried contacting the customer to inform her of the situation but were unable to reach her by phone. We have alerted the tellers to be on the lookout for any similar checks.

I was playing Publishers Clearinghouse games - Golden Aztec - to enter to win and I won $27,000. They told me to send it over to my PayPal or CashApp account and nothing has happened. I spent a long time playing the game. They got my account number to PayPal but no response from them. Then I decided to call Better Business Bureau to see if this was legitimate and it was a scam.

A man called from supposedly Publisher's Clearinghouse. My husband talked to him and they asked him to get American Express gift cards from Dollar General for $500 and he said it would cost $5.95 for the card.

and he would receive new car and money. He said his name was John Goodman and to call 1-815-881-2266 at extension 009 and ask for Albert Johnson. So my husband didn't do it and asked me to call Better Business Bureau.

I got a call from a guy. He was a foreigner. I could hardly understand him. He said I won $9.5 million and a brand new car. he sent me a picture of a car and a key remote. He wants me to go to Dollar General and buy a paypack card, and the car would be delivered to my driveway. he thinks my name is Steve. I am supposed to call him when I get the gift card at 876-995-9791. He wants to stay on the phone with me while I'm at Dollar General. he said by the time I get back home, the car will be delivered.

I was contacted online through Facebook and Messenger. They told me I had won money that would be delivered by FedEx. I was instructed to send money by gift cards to pay for taxes. I had to use a credit card to buy gift cards and send photos of them. They required my driver's license to prove my identity. After I sent $1540 to pay for taxes and paperwork, they promised to send me lottery winnings. Now they are asking for an additional $4500 for taxes or they won't send me any winnings. I have not received any money. They have texted me at all hours of the day and night for more money. They are still hassling with texts as I write this.
