I received a phone call last Saturday October 9 from Publishers Clearing House. I do belong to Publishers Clearing House but I know this is a scam. The phone number in my caller ID was 201-514-0356. The callers name was Andrew Goldberg. I'm sure that is a fictitious name. He said I won $35.5 million and a Mercedes. He asked what day he could come next week. Mentioned I would need to pay $2500. The Financial Registration Representative is Steven Safina. Address is 15940 95th St. Howard Beach, NY. I hung up on him. I called the phone number back. Message stated Publishers Clearing House and to leave a message. I hung up.

Typical sweepstakes winner, cash and car. They wanted a Vanilla Visa gift card in return. I was pressured to give them the number of the gift card so it could be entered into the system before they would deliver the prize. I refused and they hung up (after they tried more pressure tactics. The number they gave me as a call-back number was 509-553-8739. When they called back and applied the pressure my caller ID said the number was 876-381-7369 and it was from Kingston, Jamaica. They have since called me back two more times to apply additional pressure.

Here's part of the text from a voicemail I received with a very robotic female voice: ". . . This represents the grand Prize package of 2 million 800 thousand dollars and the most awesome bonus prize ever: a brand new 2021 model Mercedes Benz car. Congratulations. Please call our claim department at 5165443104 again 5165443104. We will be expecting your call for clearance. There will be agents available to assist with your delivery schedule time."

Speaking with elderly lady to have her come to an Office Depot, get some papers printed off to have her send them a security check from her account so they can deposit funds that she has won. Obviously thrown together , proceeded to cuss me out when I called them for the customer and ask if I know what trouble i could be in.

I became the target of a pch sweepstakes scam. This came over my phone this last month of August. That from Daniele Lam, posing as a pch associate. Now, there's a gentleman who is scamming over Facebook messenger. This gentleman's name, is, Travis Richardson. They're doing this over people's cellphone's and Facebook messenger. They're asking me to send them money for taxes, etc. before winning money is delivered. A sweepstakes scam. I want to get that stopped before they put a family out of their home, car, employment, etc.

I was called and told I had won a $500,000 grand prize. I was to have $120 they would pick up at my home and then I would go to the bank (follow them) and they would put my funds in the bank. I asked if a friend could come with me. They said yes and asked who. I said a friend a Wyoming policeman. They also said I could spend a little money to get the big money to do something wonderful for me. Smooth right.

This caller told me I had won a vehicle and 10,000 monthly from publishers clearing house. I was required to go get a government registration card in the form of a gift card to present to Mary Ann Smith(the attorney for publishers clearing house) upon her arrival to my home. They asked about my age, verified my state, and my occupation. I did not give out any details about where in state I lived, if I had kids, name, social, etc. He said ups would be arriving with my letter in the next 45 minutes.

I was contacted by a Tom Peters who said I won a Mercedes and 3.5 million. All I needed to do was a Walmart Gift Card for $400 and contact them back and at 4:30 they would deliver my prize.

Long story made short, I was approached by Facebook messenger from a friend that I had not yet added as a friend. The scam company made me think I was talking to her all the time regarding a Covid-19 relief grant that Publishers Clearing House was collaborating with the government for tax free grants to help small businesses and persons affected by Covid-19 financially. They said that in order to qualify for the grant a fee was to be paid for the logistics and delivery of the grant money. We received several emails from Henry Miller americagrantdisbursement @gmail.com showing what appeared to be legitimate documents showing government information regarding grants. They asked for no personal info however other than name and address. No ss# or date of birth was given. They wanted over $40,000.00 wired to an account in Arizona to First National Bank that they said was the area managers account used to send to the logistics company for the secured delivery of $500,000.00 of funds. The money was wired through our local bank. Held up at First National Bank because the fraud dept. recognized the person the wire was going to as fraudulent. By that time, she was able somehow to extract a portion of the funds in the amount of $5,334.84. The balance of the $40,000.00 was refused by 1st National and sent back to our account the next day. That did not seem to be enough, they asked us to purchase a $1000.00 Walmart gift card or American Express card that showed under the scratched number on the back that they said the logistics company Sprinters Logisitcs needed for the courier to give an e-code for the delivery. We are kicking ourselves because we know better. Just upset that we fell victim to a scam.

A Mr. James Carter called and said that we were a winner of $3.5 million and two Mercedes Benz cars one red and one white. After asking a lot of personal financial questions he said that we must pay $17,000 in order to have the $3.5 million check released.
