On Tuesday someone called me saying they were with Publishers Clearinghouse saying I had won 5 million dollars and a 2019 Mercedes Benz. I asked lots of questions so we talked for a long time. At one point they offered to take me to the bank but then later said I could go to the bank myself and that I would need to draw out some money but they didn't really say what for that they would tell me when I had gone to the bank. The man was very convincing and told me yesterday that that was the last night I could claim my funds. I had a relative with me who encouraged me to contact ScamPulse.com which I did and after hearing what had happened tole me it's a scam.

received a call from riverside california from a mark delphin. he claimed he was with publishers clearing house. he said i had won a lot of money and a car, but they wanted the name of my next of kin in case something should happen to me before i receive the prize. they kept asking for my wife's information, but instead i hung up on them. my wife said she saw something in the news about this type of scam, and that they get your information and send you a box full of bricks instead of the box of information that they promise. i reported them to the BBB.

Yesterday I got a text that said I had won $50,000 from Publishers Clearinghouse. The text came from a 302 area and they wanted me to go get 5 $100 gift cards to cover the fees. I wasn't sure it was for real so I called ScamPulse.com and they told me it's a scam.

Elderly widowed mother got repeated calls from fake PCH caller telling her that she didn’t need to enter to win a prize. Scammer referenced $7,000/week prize, 4 million $$ prize, new Mercedes automobile. Ultimately convinced her to transfer $1,500 into his account to cover fees and taxes. Fortunately she used a cashiers check, and we were able to stop the transaction and get her money back. This caller spent a lot of time grooming an elderly woman.

A man called saying he was Publisher's Clearing House and I won $2.5 million and a 2018 cherry red Mercedes Benz. He didn't ask any personal information, but gave me codes for security, etc. that I was to write down. It sounded like a legitimate thing until he asked to go to a Western Union and put money onto a card. He insisted that I would be able to hold onto the card until I received my prize. When I questioned about the legitimacy of the prize, he said what's $550 to what you would win. At this point, I googled and read Publisher's Clearing House, while although it is a real thing, they will never call you ahead of time if you actually win. So while it sounded like a legitimate thing, a quick Google search reassured my suspicion that this phone call was too good to be true and I promptly told the man I was hanging up and reporting him. Never give out personal information or pay anything ahead of time, no matter how legitimate it sounds.

I just got a call stating that I had won the publisher clearing House sweepstakes for 2.5 million plus a 2018 Mercedes car. I recorded this entire phone call if anyone needs it. A Mr. Jon Bennington was the one I spoke with wanting me to stay on the phone until I got to the bank to get a money order to cover 5% of the taxes, $3500 he said.

After I hung up I called my 90 year old dad and he had gotten a call from them saying that he had won 5 million. My dad gave them info that I knew not to. These people need stopped! Elderly people who have been everything PCH think it's for real.

"Bill Wisman" from "Publisher's Clearing House" called me to say that I won $17.3 million dollars and I just needed to pay $2,300 to receive it. Knowing this was a scam I told him I had no money to give him. He tried making a deal with me, and I told him we don't have any money. I told him "let me see what I can do and I'll call you back" knowing full well I wasn't going to call him back. He told me "ok" and gave me his number.

A scammer has contacted my elderly mother and somehow sweet talked her into believing she won a huge amount of money. she had to send them a cashiers check to receive her prize. she started to send the money via federal express, but luckily, she came to her senses. the scammer called her repeatedly afterwards to know when the money would be sent. he was very professional sounding and very convincing. BE VERY CAREFUL PEOPLE. THEY ARE PREYING ON OUR ELDERLY CITIZENS.

Earlier this morning I got a call from a Frank Logan saying I had won the 2nd prize drawing for Publishers Clearinghouse for 2 million dollars. This man who had a accent said I needed to go to Walmart and wire them $275.00 to a Barbara Barrymore in Cincinnati 45238 to cover some fees. That's when I figured it was a scam.

I had a man call me and say he was from the ScamPulse.com and that I had won a lot of money. He said he was a spokesman for Publishers Clearing House and that I can get my check today for the $850,000 I won. He started asking me all kinds of questions, but before I could answer I told him I had better check with my son-in-law.

I told him I didn't have that kind of money. He called back said the trust would cover my fee for $2400.from my winnings, then they told me PCH requires that I be debt free an ask for credit debt amount and mortgage debt amount. N who was my banking names. I was Leary (SCAM) So I asked for written PCH rules that required this cause I wasn't about to give out my account # without certified Doc. from PCH requesting this info. Still haven't received it. This started on 10-17-18 last call was 10-22-18 I had text this # requesting rule requirements be sent to my home address which I supplied. these guy's were very convincing!?

James Washington - phone is Jamaica, NYC. this man goes on and on saying you won a$1 million in the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes because you filled out and entered. Wanted cell phone and bank. Wanted you to open up a bank account. Went to bank to see if won and the banker said there have been a lot of people coming in saying they received this phone call.

For some reason they wanted the cell phone number. This is awful. Preying on the elderly.
