He wants me to go to Kroger's or Walmart and buy a gift card for $700. He wants the code off the back. He asked me whether I lived alone or was married. He asked what I would do with the money.

I got a call today from a woman who said she was calling from Consumer Clearing House. She had an accent. I could hear other callers in the background. She told me I had won 1/2 million dollars. She asked if I was married or lived alone. She claimed a check would be delivered by courier on September 1st between 9a and 11a. She said the bank was HSBC. She said I could call the federal government at 202-866-7446 and they would verify that I had won the money. She said my claim number is M415D482-45. She said I had to talk to their attorney, and transferred me, but we got disconnected. The attorney called me back, and said I would have to pay taxes on the money, $216,000. Then she said she could get me a sponsor, and I would just have to pay $65,000. I said I don't have that kind of money. Then she asked if I could pay $6,500, and I explained I was on SS and needed my money for food and rent and didn't have extra money for that. Then she asked if I could pay $1500, and she would get a sponsor to pay the remaining. I told her no. The attorney said she would call back if she found a sponsor for me. She knew my name and address.

I was called and told that I had won the Publishers Clearing House. He tried to get $1500 for taxes on $5 million and a Cadillac prizes.

I was suppose to fill out paper work so he could put the prize thru. I told him he was a hoax and hung up.

He had a 833 phone number. He called at least 5 times and I hung up before he could talk. The 6th call I told him I had talked to the police dept and if he showed up at my home he would be greeted by the police. He tried another number the next day begging me to follow all the paper work and I hung up.

They used CVS website to scam me saying I was a value customer and we will have you to pick out a free gift and all you have to pay shipping and handling cost which is 10 dollars. I choose 2 gifts. The gifts came but they was cheap gifts but for 20 dollars I didn't care much. Later my credit card was charged 154.82 for the gifts. I called them and they say they not taking the gifts back. They use CVS website to use false advertising. Watch out for this.

They are saying they work for Facebook we won money and needing all our information and a picture of our drivers license front and back to get $75,000.00. I first got a message from Justin Potts about me being on the list. He keeps pushing it for me to do it. Finally I do it knowing it's a scam just to see what it's all about. He wanted a list of info and a picture of my driver's license front and back. Did a little bit of searching on the profile picture and found it to be Randy Hutchinson. Figured it would be best to reach out to Randy and inform him about it. Not sure if it is fully Justin Potts or if he is part of it and multiple people are involved.

My ex-coworker told me about this and said he received the $50,000 in cash through FedEx and I would have to go through the steps to get the $50,000. I clicked then on the link and we chatted through Facebook Messenger. Then he told me let me check to see if you are in our data center which took about 10 minutes and he said yes I am in the data center. He asked me a bunch of questions, went back to whoever and said you are close to being a lucky winner. He sent me a form saying select what amount of money you would like and I selected the lowest one. There were executive fees, copies, sending it by FedEx and to go get a $500 gift card from Walmart, etc. He told me to snapshot the back of the card and he said I'm a lucky winner. He told me in order to pay for the gas for the Fed Ex driver to send another $500 gift card. Then I was still a lucky winner to send him $2000 through a gift card. I stopped and decided not to go through this anymore.

I received a post card. It said $250 in rewards were being held at their distribution center good for Amazon, Costco, Home Depot and other stores. I called the number on the postcard and I was asked to pay $1.98 for the closing of the reward. I asked what the reward was for and they said everyone within my zip code area was receiving it. It seemed suspicious to me so I didn't give my credit card information.

I received an email several times last week saying that I was a winner to receive a 65in smart color tv due to being a valued customer to Walmart. The email said it was $5 for shipping and handling and included a URL that led me to a website where I could enter my payment information. I entered my payment information for $5. They ended up taking $8.12 from my CashApp card then 1 minute later they charged my CashApp card $132.90. I reported the transactions to CashApp and they reversed the charge of $132.90 and received a notice to put a block on my card. The charge for $5 and $8.12 went through because it was a smaller amount.

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.
