I received a call from someone name ****** ******* saying I won 18.5 million dollars, and $7,000 a week. I was told to send them $300 for 1% on fees. I purchased a vanilla visa card and they told me to provide the information on the card. Then they asked me to send an additional $100 to register the check. I realized it was a scam when I called back and couldn't get any additional information.  718-912-9134

4Received call from James Reed claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House in New York. Claimed I had won 2nd place in one of their events beginning of April. Then sent email with letter, numbers, etc from PCH. This took place on 4-25-23. Explained to individual that that date had a scheduled doctor appointment. Said that would be okay and would call again tomorrow 4-26-23 to schedule time for delivery of cash and "car: that I had won. They would be sending their (PCH) team to our home. Requested a confirmation card from PCH, which I did not have for that date of sweepstakes. Therefore would need to purchase a $500.00 card, which would be refunded, to be given to team on delivery. Then because of delay would need to cover sh1pping and handling in the amount of $1500.00. Did also include letter stating these facts and the need for IRS tax forms to be filed at bank when we all went to the bank with the PCH team of a lawyer, Merry Lee, Dave Sawyer, and John Day to deposit the check for the winnings. The another gift card as the first one would be invalid due to the delay in awarding the prize. $500.00. So now $2500.00 in Gift cards--Vanilla Debit Visa. Checked on first card and found that it had been cashed!. That was a call to Meta Bank whose number was on reverse of cards. They gave me a number to report scam, which I did. Now that person on line requested another gift card, Apple fo $500.00 and they would refund all my money, now @ $3000.00. I was not speaking with Sam Roberts from Sacramento, Ca. (9)573-7418. He said Wal-Mart did not put funds on card, so went back to store. Funds were on Apple card. immediately called Apple to report another "scam". Amanda checked card and said funds gone.

Reported to my bank Wells Fargo, scam and fraud.

Initial phone # from (954) 268-2635 then switched to (775) 703-6374--James. I did go on-line to check initial #, and it did come up Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Also called PCH in New York, I did NOT win and reported scam.

I was suppose to text drive a ford F-150, and they were suppose to have paid for it.  They gave me an hour to do all of this.  They were suppose to give me an hour to do all of this.  They wanted me to purchase a money pak green card for $300.00.  I wrote it down, and they told me to purchase it at Walgreens.  I wish people would not scam other people especially the elderly.

My wife signed up for some raffle at this Target store. She did not know that she was going be charged monthly. I saw the charge on our credit card dated 02/08/2023 for a total of $62.94. I called the number related to this charge and had this "raffle" charge cancelled and received a cancelation number, but I paid the $62.94 charge. My next month's credit card statement (march) had a charge for $109.88 dated 03/23/2023. So I called this number related to the charge. this was a different number then the one dated 02-08/2023. I was told again this was raffle was cancelled again, and they said I would be reimbursed the $109.88. This still look fishy to me.

I was contacted by someone claiming I won a prize of 2 million dollars and all I had to do was give them a pre payment for the delivery of the prize. I knew immediately it was a scam and I wanted warn others in my community so that's why I'm reaching out to report it.

Claimed I won millions of dollar and 4 cars but I have to pay them to receive it. They have been calling me for quite some time. I have pawned all my jewelry and gave them all the savings. I sent money orders and certified checks and I tried to get it sent back to me but it was sent to TX and cashed. Now another man is contacting me saying he wants more money or I'm not getting a prize. Trying to force me to get a payday loan. I lost $45,000 in 3 months.

Actually have had several calls telling me I won $$. Wanted fee before my prize of $ and a vehicle could be delivered and wanted me to get a Wal-Mart card. I wasted his time messing with him for about 20min, as I was already inside Wal-mart. Finally told him to flake off and am still waiting for my prize. Got more calls here recently and they left a voice message changing the amount of $ I won.

I began receiving text messages from three individuals, who said their names were ******* ****, Agent ***** and Martha *****. They said that I won $5500 and in order to get it I had to send $150 with an apple gift card. After I paid the $150 the person said they needed money to get a flat tire fix and for a hotel, as they were on their way to bring me the $5500. The showed me a safe deposit box supposedly with the money inside. I ended up paying over $1,000 out of my pocket. I was also told by one of my former coworkers named ****** ***** that she previously won and received money from these individuals.

I received several emails letting me know I could win samples, electronic devices and groceries by paying $1 or $2. I have entered my credit card information and  there was a message on the screen that said I won.  I called the numbers provided in the emails and have spoken to different people who said that I only entered the contest, but did not win. They also asked for personal information.
