I received a call on my cell phone about a week ago. They left a voice mail message. Caller said it is Publishers Clearing House. Would like to inform you that you are a first place winner. Our Prize Patrol prize patrol has been suspended due to Covid. Please call this number to claim your prize. I called the phone number that was left 929-414-2260. A man answered. I said where are you located. He told me New York. He gave a name I could not understand. I said I am returning your call about the Publishers Clearing House prize. He said I won $3.5 million. Someone will call you from Corporate in 15-20 minutes. Nobody called me so I called again. He asked my net worth and work status. He said for IRS purposes I need your entire your Social Security number. I did not answer. I said this does not sound like it is legitimate. He got abrasive with me. Wanted my bank account to wire money. He did not sound too intelligent. He asked my age. I gave him my age. He ended up hanging up. I knew from media never to send money. It did not get that far. I did call the real Publishers Clearing House in New York and reported it. PCH told me they never call winners. I have entered Publishers Clearing House online.

I received a phone call today claiming to be with Publishers Clearing House. My caller ID showed phone number 929-512-9102. Caller said I won $7000 a week for life and a Mercedes Benz. Wanted me to by a Money Pack card for $100. That's when my antenna went up. It sounded like a scam. I went along with it. I did not send money.

I received 2 calls, one from Maxwell Brown and then one from a Jonathan Cooper. They said they were from Publishers Clearing House. The first person told me I won $150,000.00 and I'd have to pay a shipping charge. The second call was for $2 million dollars and a new Rolls Royce delivered to my door today and I was told I would have to pay $2000.00.

I received a call from David Sawyer (850-604-0706) who said he was from Publishers Clearing House and was calling from Molino, Florida. He said I won $5.5 Million and a new car. He knew my address, my email address, and my phone #. I said no and hung up. I received a 2nd call from Clarisse Johnson (865-503-9076) who said she was from Bank of America. Clarisse asked for my bank account number so that my winnings could be deposited into my account. She asked for my social security #, my VA information, and my age, too. I accidentally gave her my age. She said she needed by full profile information for delivery and prize package. Clarisse said the money is in Las Vegas. I said if that is the case, that I could go to Las Vegas to collect it by cashier's check. She said I had until tomorrow to get my winnings. I said that it wasn't right, that it only one day notice. She backed out and said if I gave my bank account #, that I'd get the money through wire transfer. I refused. I received a 3rd phone call from Jack Peterson (812-633-0788 x12) who said that he was Head Officer Bank of America Card Services who asked for the same information.

All three were very persistent.

My mother received a call stating she won 1.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. They called her back several times before telling her that they would be out the next day to provide her with her money and car. All she needed to do is get two $500 American Express gift cards from Walgreens. This was to pay the Federal Government. They still continue to call. My mother is in her late 80's and forgets she is not to talk to them or provide them with any information.

Received notification that I was a sweepstakes winner. It said they were with BBB. Was emailed Officially Approved Docs. And was speaking with Johnny Rogers at 615-857-2153. They had me send cash to them for a sweepstakes. And then they had me send them gift cards to them. I have found that it is a scam.

Received a telephone message that there was good news from the PCH prize patrol. A Pin and the phone number to call was left. The voice was that of a electronic woman. No return call was placed.

I keep receiving calls on my cell phone claiming to be with Publishers Clearing House. I do not answer the calls. Caller states I have won millions. Call them back at 877-503-0566 to claim my prize. I called the number back and reached a temporary busy message. I have told them to stop calling. I wanted to report the phone number. I must have had a dozen calls over a three month period. This is terrible. How do they get away with this. I wanted to report the phone number.

I got a call from someone claiming to be PCH. They told me I won $18 million and a new car. They asked me for a $9000.00 check to pay the taxes. They then started to send me emails with the details of my winnings. They called me to ask me if I got them the $9000.00 check, I told them no and they told me they would have to give the prize to someone else and they hung up.

I received a check in the mail from Publishers Clearing House for $7950.55. This was to cover insurance and attorney fee. The check was made out to my deceased husband. He passed away in May of 2022. What is odd is Optum RX is on the left hand corner of the mailing. I am waiting for a drug reimbursement from the nursing home. I had initially received a phone message from Publishers Clearing House. I did not return their calls. I took the check to my bank. They made a copy. They said the FBI is involved. The strange thing is I am waiting for a refund from Express Scripts. Mailing indicates to call before depositing. It gives three phone numbers. 604-649-9048, 905-870-8968 and 236-333-3938. Optum RX address. P.O. Box 6104 Cypress CA 134-0605. Wells Fargo Bank NA on the check. Address 115 Hospital Dr. Van Wert, OH 45091.

I was contacted by a man with an accent, the call came from Florida. He said that I had won 2.5 million and some kind of truck. And he wanted me to take a picture of my ID and he asked for my debit card information. They sound so kind and sincere, I had asked to speak to a colleague and it sounded like the same man just with a higher voice. I asked him for his tax ID number with Publishers Clearing House and he refused to give it to me he just kept talking over me asking for my debit card. It was obvious it was a scam and he just wanted to get into my bank account. He also said his name was Todd Sphon and worked with the claims department. They got nothing from me and I ended up hanging up.
