The phone call said I won 5.5 million and a Mecedes Benz. They did ask me where Lynn Ave is, but I didn't know where it is. Later I notice the street about a half mile from my house, don't know the connection. I told them I had not put in for PCH in many years, but they said when I put in it stays in their record for life. They told me I needed to pay a 1% fee, but they only wanted 900 dollars which is not 1% not sure why. They wanted me to go to Dollar General or Family Dollar and get some kind of money order, they did not call it a money order can't remember what they called it. I would have to get 4 of them which would total 900 dollars. When I get the money then call them back and they will bring the check and collect the money.

I told them I would meet them at the bank, and we could cash the check and I will give them the money when the check cleared. He tried to explain why they could not do that, but I said that is the only way they will get any money out of me. He hung up the phone, it was hard to understand them because of his accent.

The caller told my mother she had won the publisher's Clearing house sweepstakes. and a 2022 Mercedes Benz. The catch was she was asked to pay 15k in processing fee's and taxes. She was told to wire the money to Jamaica. She was told for security reasons she could not tell anyone. She agreed to pay the amount but did not know how to wire the money. They had someone call her claiming to be a federal agent and he told her how to wire the money. She was expecting her car to be delivered and her money to be put in her account. When it did not come and they kept asking for more money she told me(her son) and obviously realized she had been scammed.

I got a phone call from someone identifying himself as Dave Sayer from Publishers Clearing House. He said I won millions of dollars. He said that he'd meet me at my home shortly, but first I needed to send $900 to: Delores Pitts, 10212 Purcell Rd., Glen Allen VA 23060. This was an account at the Federal Reserve Bank. He even gave me an account number (#2057 9945 90) and even gave me a pin number. After I paid the money I realized I was duped.

The message was from someone claiming to be from the Publishers clearing house. I didn’t talk to anyone. It was a voice mail message left on my phone. I tried to copy the transcribed message in a screen shot. Hope this helps catch these losers!

He said that he'd meet me at my home shortly, but first I needed to send $9000 to an address in VA. He gave me the account number and i sent the money. He came back and said due to the amount i had to send more, all together I sent almost 17K that i didn't have to loose to this scammer. I sent my entire savings and even borrowed money to pay it. After I paid the money I realized I was duped.

Do you still have the number? I am a part of a group doing recon on these scammers. We are getting information from them and providing it to Jamaican Operations Linked to Telemarketing (JOLT) taskforce.

We received a call today on our landline from Publishers Clearing House. I answered the call. Caller said we won $7.5 million and a black Mercedes Benz. The prize money was deposited in Wells Fargo. He gave me a number to call Wells Fargo. I called 209-270-5154. They answered Wells Fargo. He said an account was opened in my name. They gave me an account and pin number. Wanted me to pay about $4000 for my prize. He said it is usually $8000 fee. They lowered it because of hard times and health conditions. I said I am not paying 10 cents. Do not call me back. He kept calling anyway. The prizes will be delivered to our home tomorrow morning at 10:00. I said yeah, we will see about that. Three vehicles would come to our home. A flatbed with the car, a black limousine that he would be in and another vehicle with an FBI agent for security. I was on the phone with him for over an hour. I understand this is a scam. Callers name was David Salmon. I hung up on him and he called right back. He said he is calling me tonight. I won't answer. The phone number in my caller ID was 876-325-3858.

I wanted to report phone calls I have been receiving for about a year on my cell phone. They call from publishers Clearing House. Also Mega millions. So many I cannot remember all the names. State I won $5.7 million and a luxury car. I said if I won why don't you send my prizes to me. Caller said I did not pay the fees. When I asked questions the caller used profanity. I told him to get a job. First they wanted me to send $500 and then $1200 for taxes. Told me the fee is not that much. I said I am not sending any money. His name was David Monroe with Publishers Clearing House. He gave me phone number 516-252-9974. My caller ID showed 876-919-3225 which is a Jamaican number. I know these calls are scams and did not send any money.

I had a voicemail from a man named Dave Sayer and he said he was calling from the Publishers Clearing House. He said I won a car and $800 million. He told me I could call him back at 917-383-3412. I called him back and he told me I needed to go to the store and put $1,500.00 on a Vanilla gift card. I told him I didn't have that type of money, he asked how much I could do and I told him possibly $1,000.00, he said ok he would try to get his supervisors approval.

I was called by someone representing themselves as Publisher's Clearinghouse, using a name of someone who actually works for Publisher's Clearinghouse.

They told me that they had sent me a prize package and I said I didn't get it. They said I had won 2nd prize, 2.5 million dollars and a 2022 Mercedes Benz. I said I don't want the Mercedes and they said that's all right. I said I would like to get an older Mercedes instead and they said to find one and I could call them about it. I called them back about a car I found and they said they would buy the car for me and have it shipped and will hold it for me.

After they asked for my driver's license information I became uncomfortable and said I would not give them any more information and hung up.

I called Publisher's Clearinghouse and they told me they only use 800 numbers and they don't call people.

I received a call from Publishers Clearing house on my cell phone. Callers name was Keith Jackson. He gave an ID number. He said I won $5000 a weak for life. 18,500 by certified check and a 2022 Mercedes Benz. He gave me a ticket and code number. Four people will come to my home and deliver my prizes. I have to gett back to them. They will pay most of the taxes on my prizes. I have to pay $950 or 1%. This did not sound right to me. They wanted me to pay with an American Express Card. They gave me thre stores to go to. Walgreens and CVS. I don't remember the other store. I did not send any money or buy a card. The phone number in my caller ID was 607-800-4203. When Publishers Clearing House comes to your house, I should not have to pay money for taxes.

I was contacted by phone saying I had won $17million and the caller wanted to deliver 'my cheque' to me today!

They wanted to come to my home. I do not know whether they had my address.

I told the caller to put paperwork relating to my 'win' in the mail, but he refused and became rude and argumentative!

When I repeated to him to put the paperwork in the mail to me he YELLED AT ME TO 'SHUT UP'!

I immediately hung up the phone.

I received two calls from Publishers Clearing House. Caller said I won $4.5 million. He wanted $7435.91 for taxes. Wanted me to go to the bank and withdraw the money. He asked for my bank card number. I said that ain't happening. Callers name was Dave Carter. He gave phone number 585-401-7198. I called them back on that number. I had seen Publishers Clearing House in my caller ID. I knew it was a scam when they wanted money. I should not have to pay a fee for a prize. I told them to send a check and take the $7335.91 fee out of that. They refused. I told him not to call again. He called right back.

I was contacted by phone, Sunday evening by someone claiming to be the Chairman of Publisher's Clearing House. His name was David (I didn't get the last name). He said I had won a 2022 Mercedes Benz convertible and 24 million dollars. Then he put his boss on the phone, who gave me a number to call for a wire transfer 4805081562 and press option #2. Then I was supposed to call them back @ 5072035915, after I made the call that I of course did not do. They are still waiting for someone to call them back. I get these call at least once a week. I just don't want anyone to get scammed by them.

A Tom Spencer called me from a blocked number and told me I won 3.5 million and a red Mercedes Benz that he would personally have delivered to me and 7500 a week! What a joke since I moved to FL and not in SC anymore he would have to take a helicopter to FL and the state marshal would have to approve and it would cost 153.96 bucks for that. He put God in the picture and talked to me about how he sorry that I’m having such a time because my husband died. This needs to stop because people like me don’t have the strength to bring up bad memories like that and I’m trying to take care of my children by myself now because of my husband’s death I am alone now.
Scam for money!

The caller, George Bell, offered my mother by telephone call the chance to win the publisher's Clearing house sweepstakes. He offered her 3 things:

1. 2.5 million

2. 5,ooo dollars a month

3. A 2022 Mercedes Benz

The catch was she was asked to pay 15oo.oo upon delivery of the car.

She did notice that the caller ID said Kingston, Jamaica.
