Serial #66200NC, Package #335709, Verification code:0000129, Winning ticket # 25.Phone called from listed CENTRALO JM 876-919-1411. Called multiple times with information about what he was doing to get everything in order andpapers filled out and signed at tax office and other agencies. Publishers Clearing House paid 99 per cent of taxes I needed to go one of the banks he named {Woodforest} and pay the 1 Percent remaining to someone with a routing number. I never got the amount because I told him I was not going to a bank and he was a scammer and I stopped answering the phone.

Mary and Michael Anderson called and told me I won 29 million and a Mercedes, but I had to go to CVS and purchase a Claimers card (vanilla card) for $500 for processing fees. Mary will use religion stating she’s a minister to get in your psyche, she will never SCAM ANYONE. Please Beware!! Total SCAM!!!!

Phone call from an unknown number. Hung up once. Got immediate call back. Listened to caller who told me I'd won a Publishers Clearing House prize. Caller said check would be delivered at a specific time today. Said I would need to pay a $300 delivery fee. That's when I hung up. Received a total of 7 calls from listed number.

After getting the card I called the number listed. The receiver sounded foreign and was a female that took the claim number but told me to hold on but the call was lost. The second call was a male and I did the same thing and gave the claim number and he explained. That they needed a credit card number to receive the winnings. At this point it was suspicious and I told them it was out of place and hung up. The other side of the post card says savings for Walmart, target, and more. This scam is possibly targeting seniors as well

He stated I had won the PCH 3.5 million grand prize , a Chevy Tahoe High Country and 5k a week for life. He asked if I wanted this to be private or public. I told him public then he asked if I had a car which I denied. He stated a courier would bring the check but I had to pay a fee for government taxes of 928 usd. He gave me a confirmation code and a package number and when I told him that winning 3.5 mil would cost more than 928.usd in taxes the phone started cutting out so I hung up.

Someone wanted to "follow" me on Instagram and in a message said he had won millions in Powerball. He asked for my full name, address, email address, phone number, and state ID/DI so that he could FedEx $5000.
