A man, identified himself as Peter Washington, called me on my cell phone. He said he was from Publishers Clearinghouse. He asked if I'd ever entered the company's sweestakes. I replied "Years ago." He said those data bases are still being used to select winners. He said I had won $2.5 million, $5,000 a week for the rest of my life and a Mercedes car. I told him I thought the company had filed for bankruptcy which he vehemently denied. He asked me a few questions, which required Yes or No answers. I became suspicious, asked him name again and said I was reporting this phone call. NO email or other mode of communication was used.

Scammer said I was one of four winners and he would bring $800,000 to my door after I paid a delivery fee of $150 to him first . Kept insisting it was real and legit.

On May 8th I received a phone call from someone whose name was John Davis, claiming to be with the International Lottery Corporation, to advise me that I had won a prize with Readers Digest a long time ago and it had not been claimed. When I would not engage in further conversation he said I could call 1-876-3166947 and speak to Kevin. I of course did not, instead I called BC Lottery Corporation, spoke to Matthew who said he would file my report to the fraud department. He advised me to contact antifraudcentre.ca. I went to the site and Norton advised me that it was a dangerous site and that I could continue if I accepted the risk. So - to the BBB!

These people are posing as a legitimate online social casino. Telling people they make a deposit they play games and will be able to win real money and cash out a maximum amount of $300 daily. Which this is a lie you deposit money with them you play you win then you learn that you are only given an option to cash out $30 dollars they keep the remainder of your money and go about their days. They did this to me about 2-3 times my girlfriend 2-3 times and my gf brother 1-2. It's sickening how they lie make it sound like they are not scamming you tell you good luck next time and they're off to scam the next person they kept about $500.00 of my winnings about $900.00 of my girlfriends winnings and $350.00 of her brothers winnings

I received a phone call at 7:30 am from Andy Goldberg from the Publisher Clearing House saying that I had come in second place in the current contest and would receive $1.9 million dollars. He requested that I go to my bank and someone from the Clearing House would meet me there to give me the money. I was to withdraw $4,500 so they could verify my account. They would return the money to my account immediately.

I was requested to stay on the phone. I took my husband to the bank with me. Once we were at the bank, we decided that that this was a scam so hung up the phone and drove home.
