Publishing clearing house calls my mom house phone everyday claiming she won a prize. I know its a scam because they dont call you they show up at your house. She claims they told her she could get her winnings if she loaded a visa gift card with $500. I want them to stop calling.

A person named Pamela Hamilton called and sent me an email that was supposed to be a verification that I would receive money from Publishers Clearing House but first I would have to take $700 and purchase two American Express gift cards at Walgreens so I would have a receipt. Then they were supposed to come and deliver me money that I evidently was supposed to have won. I told her I would not do anything without my son's approval because he is my power of attorney and so he told me to block everything from Pamela Hamilton and Publishers Clearing House. That is why I do not have a telephone number or email address for them. Thank you

A email I received stating I had won a iphone from Walmart. All that was needed was a shipping fee of $5.95. the scammers so called name on the transaction on my direct express card, is Best SE & Fancy Ideas Beautiful. They are stating it was in California. They actually not only had taken the $5.95, but also charged $79.00! When I discovered this I called the customer service & it states they are closed on a v.m. no matter what time of day I was calling! I sent repeated emails to them and they sent one back saying to please call their customer support for a refund! Lol! Also, I couldn't ever reach the dispute dept. For my debit card, Direct express, no matter when I called! That's another complaint issue with a lot of people, I'm just finding out! Each time I was on the phone for an hour with Direct express, and I was consistently on hold, for long periods of time before I got frustrated & eventually hung up! So , all the times I was calling & being put on hold for an hour, and not getting anywhere, & even trying to reach direct express by email was a waste of time, so in the meantime, before I could cancel my card, this scam company using Walmarts name, charged more money, $69 on my debit card!! And I still don't have anything resolved, other than cancelling my old card so these amoral scammers cannot use my card # anymore! I can't believe Wal-Mart doesn't know about this!, Or is unwilling to do something about it themselves to stop this! So angry that I couldn't stop it with my own bank card in a timely manner before they took a second payment from me! What is wrong with this picture?!! Unbelievable!!! Sick of these con artists duping people, & getting away with it!

Yesterday I received multiple calls and text messages from someone named David Jones. This person said I won 1.5 million dollars and Mercedes Benz. He asked for the last 4 digits of my social security number. He said he would let me know when they were on their way to bring the vehicle and would bring the money in the form of check. After I provided the last 4 digits of my social security number I contacted my bank.

Caller said he was with Publishers Clearinghouse. Needed $4000 for taxes because I won a new Ford Bronco and 5 million dollars. I mailed $1000 in cash to a woman in the United States. I don't remember her name or address. The other $3000 was in gift cards. After I gave him the gift card information he wanted more money. Then I knew I had been scammed. I'm reporting this because I want to warn others.

I received a notice in the mail.  Stated a final notice to retrieve my unclaimed reward for up to $100.00.  I called the number and I needed to give them my debit card information for them to deposit the money into my account.  The cost was $2.00 for shipping and handling but instead that they would just deposit the money into my account.  They stated that the money would hit my account in 24 hours.  The money never did post to my account.

Miss Mavis Wanczyk is representing a facebook online claim agent. She says shes helping poor peole with giving them $20,000 and in return just hold a sign thanking her. She was a $758 million dollar winner her self. She promised me $50,000 but i had to cover the delivery costs. After about 6 small amouts of payments she kept comming up with excuses why i had to pay more. Then she lowers the cash amount to $20,000. She says her boss says she needs to clear the books and i'd be getting the $20,000 the third wed of this month. When i got at her about this, now she says no i have to come up with another $100 or i won't be getting the set amount even though i told her i cant afford that i'm on fixed income. So i got tired of it & came here to report it.
