I got a call from PCH, Henry Holloway, saying I won 2.5 million and a car which was to be delivered to my home between 2 and 3 pm Saturday. He had an accent. I never submitted an entry, so I was suspicious. In order to get the money, I had to get a check form the bank for $100 dollars and send it to overnight express the check to Shirley S*** *** *** *** **, Appotomax, VA 24522. packing number 947811438tk. Peter Bollman id number 1942heny. He called back to ask if I got a check yet. I said no, I was going to check with BBB. He said well they won't have any record of this or be able to help you.

This company is posing as a PCH rep. And is praying on the elderly (my father) told him he won a case of money a truck and a car which they sent pictures of to him. The really sad ?? part of this is my father is terminally ill and his judgment is completely off if had he had not told me about this chances are he would be broke and unable to afford his meds and treatments. Please bust these freaks put their lives in check.

Thank you. ??

Got a call 9/27/18 12:30pm from David Baker asking if I will be home in the next 45 minutes to receive certified mail. Also I was told to write down a phone number and name of the manager who will be verifying my win from PCH (Mark Anderson (876) 860-3651. After hanging up I tried to look up the information but kept getting calls from the unknown number, when I picked up on the third call he asked me if I had called Mark already. I told him no, I wanted to verify that this was legitimate and not a scam. That's when he hung up. I guess I wont be receiving my giant check.

This company called and said I had won the Publishers Clearing House, and informed me I had won $500,000.00 and that a certified check would be sent this Thursday and once I deposited the money into my account I would need to send them $65,000.00 for the taxes. I did not agree to anything nor did I share any personal information with them, this is a scam.

A man named John Martez called and told me I won 2.5 Million dollars and a 2018 Mercedes Benz, He said he was with PCH he gave me his badge # 087825 and my claim number. He said the PCH patrol was in Dayton Ohio and would be at my home within 2 hours, but first I had to go to Walmart to register that I was a winner before they could give me my prize and that would cost me $780. I told him I wasn't going to pay any money for something that I have won and he said everyone who won a large amount of money had to register. I told him I would check into that information and he gave me a number to call him back, 716-300-1554, when I called back he wasn't available. I knew it was a scam as soon as he said I had to pay money, *** ***

received a call from the above #, telling me that I was a winner of PCH contest, which I did enter& she did ask if I had entered other times or how manytimes, I told I had maybe many years ago& hadent untilthis time telling me to sit down as she said the amount of the chech that I would be receiving was $5000,000. I don't know what their end-game was, we talked a bit.she was very sincere, no questions for any numbers of any accounts or SS #., she qualified that by saying, nothing will be asked for personal type of info., I think to sound more legit & put me at ease, talked a bit I was elated to say the least, in that bit I did mentioned how ever how this was amazing how it would help, as I was on a fixed income & this was truly needed, When she mentioned she was going to transfer me to a finance lawyer & again " no questons for banking account numbers for savings & checking, I said ok, "no savings only checking". I just remembered she did ask if I owned my home , I do, or was it in trust for my sons, "no". Also a special Courier would be bringing the check on Monday between 8 & 11 in the am, " would I be home? & i repled Yes, no propblem. I think I did mention I live inan Audlt Community I was tranferred to another female(lawyer) we did speak briefly ,hello - intros, don't recall any names. Next thing we got disconnected, I was upset, because wanted to continue & hear what she was going to say about financial matters, taxes, trust so on. Well that was it , I did call my son & he said " don't believe it!" Well I 1 was ELATED TO THINK I WON THIS MUCH MONEY, Then I was so dejected & down it was like I LOST IT( MONEY) I WAS RICH & NOW I'm back to being not so rich, & then I was ANGRY that they play with me like a trick ! Later I called the phone # from the caller I D, "number not a working number" some time. I did call Publishing Clearing House, & they told me they DO NOT notify winners by phone. Also called the phone company, they couldn't confirm that a number with the last four digits being zeros is a true nnumber, maybe a robo calling system.

Well bottom line, I don't know what their purpose was, then I was concerned tha they new I would be home alone on Monday, but I do live in a gated community,theywouldn't be allowed in without seucrity calling me first.

PS - NO ONE CALLED ME BACK THAT DAY OR ANY OTHER & NO ONE CAME ON MONDAY AT THE HOURS THEY SAID EITHER,SO THAT'S THAT. Maybe it was their sick prank. So I was rich for a short while I only lost some time. But.I do think it's important for others to be aware of these things that some people do Just so you know, I couldn't select the age 18-24,since I'm 79 yrs. one other foot-note--I was contacted on an UNLISTED PHONE,strange!!!
