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.

Got a phone call at 8:43 this morning. December 13, 2022. Said his name was Paul Johnson.

ID# 1916190529USPCH.

Would have to go to Walmart, Dollar General or Walgreens to get a registration card. I have to purchase. Like a prepaid Visa. I would then take this card to the court house and he would direct me by phone as to what to do next. Said I would be receiving a car & 7K a month for the rest of my life. So convincing. I when straight online to ScamPulse.com & I see others are getting the same lie.

Got letter in mail that I won 2nd place in lottery winnings. I received a check for 7800 to cover attorney and insurance. Was told to put check in bank and call back. Spoke with Gloria Costas. She said to withdraw in cash 4700 and put in two envelopes. To call back for an undisclosed place to meet. They would show up at my home with a check on Saturday between 3:30-4.

- Chattanooga, TN, USA

Letter arrived saying sweepstakes winnings of $250,000. Enclosed was a check for $2,675.50 bur a fee of $2000.00 was required. A warning was enclosed that no action should be taken before contacting the claim agent, but the phone number is either not available or always busy. SCAM attempt! Nothing checks out.

Slow talking man, name: John Turner,( badge # 425101-JT), called 8:00am, !0/22/2022. Said I had won Publishers Clearing House, $950,000.00 and $7,000.00 every week for life. to be delivered within 24 hours. Asked if I lived near CVS or Dollar General .Taxes paid, therefore I need to pay 1 % of $950,000. 00 ( Never asked where I lived)

Told to write down my Package # 3162285754 and Ticket # XD214779. I needed two forms of personal identification

I asked for his phone number....and he hung up. ( Knew it was scam for start).

I received a voice mail from a Steven Pierce who said he was calling from the Multi-State Lottery Assn and that I had won some cash money and he gave me the #838-900-2039 and wanted me to call him back which I have not done. I do not believe that I have won any money but cannot find out anything about the Multi-State lottery that would give me a way to contact them to see what this is. If you know anything about this I would appreciate it. I do not have a #that had the voice mail. Thank You

I received a phone cell call stating it was from PCH and I won 5.2 million dollars plus a new Mercedes-Benz SUV and $7000.00 a week for life it was a recording giving me a claim number a womans name to call and a ID number to give her when I called . I was supposed to call soon as time was running out.

Needless to say they were to quick for me to write down all this information.

I would not have called anyway and give access to any phone . I'm only tell this story because the recording did not ask for information I would have had to call them but I know some people may try to get in touch with them.

I received a phone call from Publishing Clearing House. They told me that I was the super winner of the Publishing Clearing House lottery. I won 1.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes, free gas for 36 month. All questions should be direct to my account manager. Press 1 or call to this number to talk to the account manager, so I can ask any question he have. We are looking forward to your call.
