If I deposit $25 they will give me $75 from my winnings. They said 3-10 biz days and then said in bitcoin they will send and never did a month later still nothing. They asked for my license photo my cure address proof and my bank card photo by email which I sent. Then they asked for bitcoin address I sent also. Bad reviews for not paying customers online. Casino gambling online

Entered a contest. The site told me if I spent that much money I would win a contest and receive cash. Multiple people paid in. After winning the contest, I was only given votes to enter a whole new contest and no cash as promised. I fought it on my card but the company fought to keep the money. I wrote the company to settle the issue first, assuming the incident was a mistake. This insisted they were fair and that was the rules. But the site stated in bold red letters at the end of contest that’s what I was winning. Then it changed 5 minutes later. The site prompts people to buy votes then doesn’t pay what should be won.

David Sawyers who identified himself from Publisher's Clearing House (PCH) contacted me on my cell phone from 585-326-5706 indicating that I had won their contest. Advised that i would receive $2.5 million in the form of a cashier's check from Bank of America and then $5000.00 each week forward and a 2022 Matte Black Chevy Tahoe. Everything would be delivered via UPS by Bob White and Todd Sloan and Betty White is the Bank of America representative. He provided me with an address of the company and a prize code. He then advised that I could accept the prize privately or publicaly. However I would be responsible for 499.99 to insure the prize. When I began to sound skeptical while looking up what I could about the address and number the call was disconnected. They tried to call ball, but I did not answer. Instead I began filling this out. I paid nothing, but I wanted to register this.

They also only identified my location as Michigan though asked me if I received any letters and did not refer to me by name.

Called saying I had won the lottery and to receive my winnings I would have to give him my bank account info to deposit the money. He even told me I could open a new account and just put $25 in it so he can deposit my winnings. I knew it was a scam.

John Washington called me from Publishing Clearing House. Claim I won 7K a week for life, a certified check for 2.5 and new Mercedes. But claim I needed a Vanilla Credit Card for $100 and gave me a pin number. Once I figured out it was scam I called my bank to dispute it. I found out he already charged it to an Amazon order and I had to call them to cancel it. He kept calling me everyday to send him more money. He wanted my cards number then I started getting calls from out of the country.

Man by the name of Todd salone,said he was with the publishers clearing house. He was trying to reach me,too tell me I was selected as their grand prize winner of Twelve and a half million dollars. Then asked me for my address,if I owned my home. Asked me what my income was,then asked me if I had a bank account. So he could send me a disclaimer application, In order to be able to complete the process of depositing my Twelve and a half million dollars into my account. Once he had all my bank information, then somebody from publishers clearing house would meet me at my bank to deposit my funds. He called me on 11/22/22 left a message which I do still have,so if you need to listen to it.

A gentleman calling himself James Carson from the Better Business Bureau called 2 nights ago and told me I had won 17million dollars, a brand new Mercedes and 7500 dollars a week for life. I get scammers calling me all the time and they usually give themselves away quickly by asking for gift cards or money for some sort of fee. I mentioned I had no knowledge of winning anything and that with a prize that big they show up! He quickly made up a story that they have been trying to find me for some time and pch had sent a verification card and all I need to do is find that and they will delivery prize...of course I can't find it because there is no such thing. He handed me to a financial guy that told me all the same stuff but he started pumping me for financial information...he said pch covered taxes and fee BUT I had to pay a small fee 2% ! I said NO THIS IS A SCAM. I hung up on him and the other guy called me back and wanted to know what happened. I told him I thought it was a scam...they were playing good cop bad cop with me...I said if you ask me for anything again I hang up. He didn't, he said he would call me the next day and give me instructions on how to proceed. I ignored my phone the whole day and in the evening I finally got him to text me what they wanted. He said I needed that verification card and I asked where would I get that...the moment he said Walmart, meijer etc i said scam!! He spent the next 6 hours texting me trying to convince me it wasn't a scam. And he called this morning Thanksgiving again. I told him to leave me alone he wasn't going to get me to give him money...to be continued

I got a phone call (message left on answering machine) stating I won 4.5 million dollars/5,000 a week for life. They left a phone number to call: 626-522-7253 but I have not called it. I decided to check your website for similar activity and found some so I will not be calling the number. I have not entered their sweepstakes in years.

This company emailed me as if the email from Southwest airlines, asked me to fill out a survey then I would get a free gift.

For the free gift they said I would need to pay shipping, so I gave my card number online. Then about 15 days later they charged me $76, when I called them, they said I have signed for some monthly subscription to receive products regularly.

Which is false and fraudulent. The company name shows up on statement as DIGITALELECTRONICVOLUM, phone is 855 814 6975 from Michigan zip is 48393. They gave me a website address to look it up myself "experiencelatestsavings.com" but I am not able to go to that page or there is no webpage of that name.
