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. 

asked to go to a Family Dollar to get a gift card for $285.00 and give the caller the gift card number to register for winnings of $275,000.00 and a new car.

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. 

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.

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.

We have received numerous calls and emails from someone purporting to be from Publisher's Clearinghouse. They say we have won the grand prize for $24 million and a red Mercedes Benz. We've talked to men and women, at least four people: Debra Holland, Mike Holland. They are asking for a $9,800 processing fee. They told us we could send cash or a cashier's check made out to C****** M*********, **** ***** Ave, *****, IO *****. She told me I should call her when I pull into the parking lot of my bank. Mike said he was a Christian, and goes to church. They emailed us their pictures with their names under them. They provided the amount of taxes the IRS would take out. They sent a picture of a check with our name on it. They said Terry Bradshaw would be coming to our door to deliver the check. They said the car would be delivered on a flatbed truck tomorrow or Monday, and they would let us know for sure. I am a Christian, and I can't tell her she's a scammer.

I watched Raja play these games on the internet and somehow ***** ***** got into my profile and snatched my money off my profile because I was watching him. Raja said he was going to donate the prizes of those following him on Facebook. Susan Smith came on Facebook and try to portray that she was a gaming agent with Raja on Facebook. She had me travel 4 times to get the giftcards Google Play and VISA gift cards. She needed a copy of the receipt and the front and back of the gift cards. I texted her the information on my phone and forwarded it to her and she cashed them. I had another one but didn't send it to her. Raja told me that she was using a fake profile.

I received a call last week from a man who said I had won $2.5 million in Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. He has called several times to get me to pay the taxes.

A man named John Peterson contacted my husband a few days ago and said that he had won $3,000,000 and wanted to know where to send the check. He also said he had won 2023 Mercedes Benz AMG and told him to pick between the colors of black, red or white. My husband told him he wanted black and he sent him pictures by text of the car. He wanted us to used Amazon visa money pack card and load it with $250. He has called everyday since this began.

Within the past week my boyfriend received a call from the number provided and a text message said that he missed the call, and missed out on winning a million dollars and Lamborghini. He then received an online form that requested a lot personally identifiable information including his name, phone number, address and email. Today he received another phone call but couldn't answer, but received an email that he missed out because he was driving.

I received an offer to receive an Oral B new model.. took survey.. Paid $8.95 for "shipping".. the nwt day got a fraud alert from credit card .. i was able to stop fraud attempt and disputed the $8.95 since that was for shipping and handling NOT for a "chance to win"

I thought it was legit because I just dealt with CVS the day before .. had to cancel card and have a new one re issued

- Laingsburg, MI, USA

I was told I had won a gift wth zero cost if I completed the survey. I completed the survey and was then informed that I needed to pay a shipping and handling fee of $4.99. I entered my card information and was instead charged $7.99. I let it go because it was a nominal increase. Four days later, I was notified that I was being charged $66.97 for something unknown to me. I protested immediately to Cash App that I didnt authorize the new charge. Cash App won't help me locate a contact number for this company that identifies as Validmodeststationarys on my Cash App receipt. Please help.
