Received a call from someone claiming to be with the Publisher's Clearing House. They said I had won 5million and asked if they could bring me the check. I asked questions and they said their boss was in a meeting and everyone else was calling others. They, also, said they were calling from a local office. I called the number back and it was out of service. I don't want any other senior to fall for this.

Received a text from a "friend" saying that they won money and she was also on the list, for Publisher's Clearing House. They eventually asked $1,500 cash to cover shipping and costs via CVS or Wallgreens. Once sent, the money will be there in 4 hours. She knew

A person identifying himself as Mark Merchand called me, and said I had won 2.7 million dollars and a GMC Pick Up Truck. He wanted $450.00 on a loadable credit card. He then put his “Manager”, identifying himself as Mr. Holiday on the phone, and he said in addition to those winnings, I had also won $2,000.00 a week for life. He then sent me via email pictures and information about the prizes. In the information it asked for $20,000.00. He became very pushy and almost angry, that I did not have the money to do this. My wife came home and i put her on the phone, because she said this had to be a scam. “Mr. Holiday was very pushy, and almost angry with her. She told him, I am aware that PCH never calls people, and never asks people for money. The phone number they called me from was 1-876-810-3207. Just wanted to let you know.

I received a call suppose to be PCH. They wanted a $300 dollar one vanilla card. This to win the PCH Sweepstakes. I did not do it, they must be stupid to believe that I would do it. Do not give them anything.

The first time they called I answered and they said they were calling about a package I was supposed to be receiving tomorrow. I said no. And hung up as I am not supposed to be receiving a package tomorrow. They called back immediately and I answered to tell them to stop calling. The guy on the phone yelled at me and told me that if I hung up I would not win the 800,000 from PCH. I hung up the phone.

Dave Sawyer (said he was from Houston TX) called and told him he had won $500,000 and a Mercedes. He has spoken with him several times from May-Aug, 2020 . He sent over $16,000 during this period of time. Another man, James Goodman, is also involved. Frank White 876-557-8194 and John Moore also called him. They had him pay by check through the USPS for some, prepaid cards, and some "Walmart to Walmart", CVS, etc. John Moore called last night and was to call this morning at 10am. Joe suggested several days ago that he wasn't going to send more money (but not direct) and John continues to call.

This guy called on my husbands cell and said we had won $250 million a Mercedes, and $7 thousand per week for life. He was very good and spoke English. He did not ask for money up front but said someone would call us at 1:30 today to make arrangements for delivery. I called the number from our home phone and they did answer Publishers Clearing House but I hung up. They did also ask where my husband worked. He told him where he was retired from. No other personal information was given. We knew it was a scam. Then I called the ScamPulse.com here in Amarillo to report and they confirmed. Of course we have never entered these contests either.

She was going to send them check for $1500.The car was going to be driven from Springfield Mo to her house. They did not want her to tell anyone about her business or wanted anyone to be there when they dropped of the car. she was told to get $300 in gift cards and send that money to them. She gave them the credit cards numbers over the phone. She was going to send a check to these people in Ohio which they were not going to cash. She was to send the check by Federal express.

David Snyder called last night & left the ph# for our caller to return because he identified himself as FedEx. They returned the call because they were expecting a package. He called on his house phone 903-338-2312. Today David told him he had a package to deliver and its from PCH for $3MM. He wanted to deliver it today, but they told him they wouldn't be home and didn't know when they would return.

received call from PCH yesterday claiming I had won 18.5 million and stating they were sending payment to bank of america and needed me to go to walmart tomorrow and give them a code number and 1500 dollars in fees to receive the 18.5 million which alerted me that it may be a scam. I called the sheriffs dept and they referred me to ScamPulse.com



I could hear a rooster crowing in the background

The number they gave me to verify the deposit 16362515273

I gave them info requested to access my wife's computer. when we discovered it, they had installed a program they installed and that they may have access to her bank info. We notified the bank and they reassured her there was no way for the account to be compromised (Regions) unless she provided her bank acct # or SSN.

Caller was male with accent, didn't sound latin-american or european but unsure from where but was easily understandable.

I am 91 years old and my wife will be 87 tomorrow.

Caller claimed to be with Publishers Clearing House stating I had won Sweepstakes that I did enter. Luckily my son intervened convincing me of scam because they kept calling back phishing for information. They even have a phony bank account for you to Call and verify funds. Don't fall for it!

Got a call from someone that I won a lot of money. I didn't apply for publishers clearing house so no way I could have won and don't know how they got my information. Want the calls to stop.

I got a call saying I won a bunch of money and they told me I need to pay a fee. I told them to take it out of the money I won and they said it needed to be a cashiers check.

Said we won PCH. Instructed us to purchase a $350 gift card for him to pick-up. When we asked him to stop calling us, he cursed us out.
