The scammer said I had won money through publishers Clearing house. Gave me a badge number confirmation pin. He wanted my phone number because I blocked my number. Then towards the end of the call they wanted to know the name of my bank so they could put my bank on the back of my check. When I refuse this they hung up on me. I screenshotted the tag I was tagged in and his Facebook page. The name of the person I contacted had the same first name as the person that tagged me but a different last name.

An individual that stated she was from Publishers clearing house, Mary, called me and stated that I had won $7.5 Million dollars and a 2023 Mercedes Benz. I was told all I needed to do was go to Dollar General and purchase a gift card for $500 and read off the information. I did get the gift card and gave her the information, after I did that she told me that I needed to apply for a loan to cover the insurance and fees for the winnings and vehicle. At that point, I knew I had been scammed and refused to do the loan and I called the Publishers clearing house phone line and ask if I had won or if they had record, they said no and she told me that is because it was a cancelled winning, the prior winner did not qualify for the winnings and it was reassigned to me. I told her to donate my winnings to a charity and not to call back again. I am out the $500, but it could have been worse.

Online site used for in game items from counter strike global offensive. In games skins cost anywhere from 1$ to 100,000$. Basicly you put your skins in to pull out more skins. On this site however no matter how many skins you put in it would never give you anything out or tell you you have a balance amount. When you contact support its the individual running the site telling you to continue putting in more to have your balanced unlocked. In sum i put in 30 dollars worth of items. Not a huge loss but i would hate for someone else to put in more and loose a lot more than me . Note their is no business phone number associated so i inputted a random 1 variation to complete report.

This company uses deceptive borderline illegal sales tactics. I am sure if they lie to potential customers in mail fliers they do worse when negotiating a deal. I received a mailer saying I had won $5000. I thought it was a scam so I called the number to confirm I had won. I went to the store still assuming it was a scam but for the chance at $5000 I had to make sure. Sure enough, scam. They said they would mail me a $5 dollar gift card but it doesn’t come close to compensating the time it took to drive out there.

Scammer called using phone number (336)7386645. He claimed his name was James Hill and he was from Publishers Clearing House. He identified my address, saying I won 6.9 million dollars and a 2023 Ford Yukon. He tried to instruct me to go to a grocery store and take out 2 gift cards for 500 dollars each and call the phone number (929)6070693 to give him the codes on the gift cards. The scammer had an Indian accent but tried to make it sound Midwestern. When the scammer realized I knew it was a scam he hung up. The phone number with the 929 area code was called to verify it was the same scammer, and he hung up when he realized it was me.

11:55a.m. I received a phone call on my mobile phone from a "Stacey Young" at 706.290.1075, who said he was the Package Director with American Cash Rewards. He gave me his badge# 75701, a P.C.N. 011552635703U.S. A PIN# 535622, and a tracking# 246801268. The Cash Reward van would be at my door at 3:30pm to present my check for $2.5 million and a 2023 BMW. "David White" called at 11:59 a.m. Caller ID had him listed in Rome, GA. He was the Program Director, calling from "Nevada" at 725.800.2376. He asked me to transfer the program cost from my bank, which was $7749 in taxes, but for me, they decreased the taxes to $ 599.00. I told them I had to have their email to receive the money so they game me the email-- [email protected] and it has a woman's picture to identify it. The program was called "Set 4 Life" and I would receive $ 2500 every 3 months for the rest of my life. I hung up saying I would transfer $ 100, because that was all I had left in my my grocery account. They called me back 32 times after I told them that it was a scam. This morning they have called 3 times before 0647 a.m.

The scammer attempted to give away a supposed "free cello", claiming it was stored in Maine and asked for my home address when I expressed interest. They also used a supposed email from a moving company, JC Movers, but I highly doubt it was a real email judging by the following sentences at the end of the quote.

"You are required to get back to us by choosing your preferred Shipping plan and also select your preferred payment option from the list of options below: Zelle, Cashapp, Apply Pay"

For reference, the email used to possibly pose as the moving company was [email protected]

In the initial email where I expressed interest, the scammer used three of the four same pictures as they did when the flier was posted.
