a man calls my aging father, sometimes claiming to be Bob, claiming that my father has won a cash prize from publishers clearinghouse. he tells him he needs to go to Wells Fargo Bank and send him $400 for him to deliver the prize. the last time my father fell for it, and the scammer managed to obtain my fathers bank account number and filched $2000 from his account.

the bank helped my father block the caller and changed their account, then notified publishers clearinghouse. the police were notified, as well as publishers clearing house, who obviously denied that they need to be paid to deliver a cash prize. that ended the calls for a while, though my father never recovered his money.

Now the man is calling again. we are concerned that my aged father is going to give away an account number. this time the scammer is calling from a number 876-512-5813, again claiming that my father won a prize and needs to send money so that he can bring my father his prize.

The scammer acts like they know you, offer their name (like this is "David, and I know you"), then asks Didn't you know you won in "Publisher's Clearinghouse?" to get you talking and give them information.

A man called identified himself as Jeff Gerwin. Told me I had won $2.5 million and an E-Class Mercedes-Benz. Hr knre my first and last name and that I was in Idaho. He then asked for $985 "Registration Fell." Very insistent that I come up with some on line payment today! He rattled off a bunch of numbers, receipt numbers, registration numbers, etc. I finally just hung up on him, after my wife and I had a good laugh.

This person led us to believe a lottery was won when in fact he wanted to have us buy a certain green dot card with $299 on it so he was able to take the money from us.

Phone call was at 11:46 on July 28. ID of call was Out of Area. The man identified himself as Dave Fyers, and he had a heavy accent. He gave a phone number of 716-630-9198. My 81 year old husband has faithfully sent in the multiple Publishers Clearing House envelopes for years. He received this call telling him he was won 2 million dollars. I only noticed the call because I heard him arguing with the caller. The man told him in order to receive his money he had to send $878.00 and then the prize money would be released. My husband said he would only believe he had won if he was sent a letter. The caller insisted over and over his call was approved by the BBB. I'm amazed my husband stayed on the line with the caller as long as he did. He only hung up once I found out who was calling. I am worried someone more vulnerable will be conned into sending the money.

Received a call from Robert Livingston that I was a 2nd place winner in a Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes. He left a return #. I called him back. He told me I won $2.5 million and a 2020 C class Mercedes. He offered me 3 color choices. He told me my claim number. He asked if I wanted my delivery to be public ( would include TV and radio) or private delivery. He asked questions about my citizenship. He asked the amount in my savings and checking( which I did not give him.) He continually reassured me that this was not a scam. When I asked him for a way to verify what he was telling me, he gave me the following information:

PCH 929-280-2973. Speak with "Dave Sayers" the supposed prize patrol person. At the end he told me there would be a $2500 delivery fee that would be returned to me after the delivery.

Received a mid-morning call from Robert with Publisher's Clearinghouse. He spoke slowly and somewhat broken English (first clue that this is a scam). He stated that I had won $2.5 million and a Mercedes-Benz and asked what color of car do I want. He was somewhat incredulous that I had never signed up for a sweepstakes (another clue). They would deliver the check and car by 3PM today (unbelievably quick--another clue). PC would cover 99% of the shipping and customization fees, but I need to pay for 1% upfront to ensure legitimacy (paying upfront--another clue). I asked for Robert's number: 876-840-5000. I asked to speak to the manager who identified himself as David Hennesy and also spoke unclear English (another clue). David provided a Case number, Package number, and ID number. He asked if I understood the steps to take. I clarified that there had been only one step described and that was to pay them 1% of the shipping and customization fees. He said yes and asked what concerns did I have. I told him that I thought it was a scam and that I'd like to contact Better Business Bureau. He said of course and then hung up. [if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is]

I received a call from a man named "Dave Sawyer" who stated his title was "Prized Director". He told me he was calling from Publisher's Clearing House and told me that I'd won $4.5 million dollars, delivered to me as a certified bank check. In addition to that I was going to win an "Escalade Mercedez Benz sports car" and was also going to get $7,000/ month for life. All I needed to do was send a bank certified check for $3,500 to Jack Cook at the Texas address I provided above.

They said that my money would be coming out of New York and, since they money had to be transferred to me in New Hampshire there would be a $3,500 dollar "transfer charge", which was why I needed to send that amount.

I received a call from David Welch, and his phone is 561.462.7689, ext. 05. He gave me Marylee Miller as the attorney name for PCH. He told me they were going to present me a check, from Steve Harvey, and Linda Allen who is a state marshal. He told me to go to Office Depot and pick up documents, which cost me $10. He told me to keep all of this confidential until I received a check for the winnings. He said he would follow through and call me up until I am presented with a $4.5 million check, and a new Mercedes.

Isaac Miller was the guys name who called me to say I had won 11.8 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. I would need to pay 3,500.00 to claim my prize. I should meet them at the nearest Walmart to give them the certified money order and then we would go to my bank with the prize check, then continue on to the Mercedes Benz dealer to pick out the car.
