My mother in law received a call that she had won $950,000 and a 2018 Mercedes. She just needed to go to a Wal-mart, CVS, Wal-greens etc and "register" for her prize by paying $999.99. They would then deliver her prize to her door within 30 minutes. I called them back for her. The 876 # is in Jamaica. He said he was in Bristol, VA and his name was Robert Patterson. I was very skeptical with him and he became defensive. I then told him that I would like to speak with a previous winner to confirm this was legitimate. He gave me the name of a 2nd place winner from Idaho, a Charles Finley, gave me his cell #. In the meantime I called the Sheriff's Office and before I could call the former winner he called me. I asked his address and he, amazingly enough, gave it to me, but when I put it in google and mapquest it didn't come up as a legitimate address. He told me his name wouldn't show up on the PCH winners page because he wanted to keep it private considering his age and all. I asked how old he was and he replied 84. This guy sounded like he was about 25 and high as a kite. I laughed and asked him what year he was born. He was baffled. I told him the next call he'd get would be from the Sheriff's Office and I hung up.

Caller named John Watson- PCH Offcier claims desk # 24 called my aunt and claimed to represent Publishers Clearing House. He also mentioned a person by the name of David who is supposedly on his team that we see on tv. The caller told my aunt that she was a grand prize winner, and in order to claim her winnings they only require that she go to Walmart, and pay for the fees by sending $350 via western union/ money gram wire transfer. I called the ScamPulse.com learn more and to determine if this was real, and I am glad I did. The ScamPulse.com informed that this is a popular lottery and sweepstakes scam. BEWARE.

Gentleman named David Miller says I'm a winner of two million dollars and a 2017 Mercedes car. I was to go to Walmart and pay $1000,00 for fee and registeration. My daughter called PCH and was told it was a scam. This man is a smooth artist. We did not fall for it. Thought you should know.

An individual named Michael Carr called claiming to offer a prize from Publishers Clearing House. The prize was 3.3 million dollars and a Honda CRV. Mr. Carr claimed to be from New York, though the caller ID stated "Kingston, Jamaica." When asked about the location, Mr. Carr said he was on Kingston Street in Jamaica, Queens. Mr. Carr said, to claim the prize, due to fees involved, a spending form would need to be picked up at Walmart and $645 sent back to him. As this request and call was fishy and appeared a likely scam, this payment was not provided. After hanging up the call, Mr. Carr continued to call 7 or 8 more times. Information concerning this scam was also reported to Publishers Clearing House, which stated they do not call prizewinners or request payments to claim a prize.

I received a call from John Michaels of PCH saying that I won $2.5 Million and a new Mercedes & I would need to send $655 for taxes. I was sent 2 checks, from private banking accounts, not certified, totally $4000 to cover this. I then was called by Mark Nelson of Shell Oil saying I had won $750,000 and the check would be delivered the next day. I received yet another call, this time from Lopez on the US Customs saying I would need to pay $800 in insurance as the money was coming from overseas and I would be refunded after sending them the money. I knew this was a scam and wanted to report it.

I received a call that I had won a prize from Publishers Clearing House. I was told I would they were going to deliver a new car to my home along with a cashiers check. I was told I had to contact the General Manager of Publishers Clearing House and give them a code. When I called the man's voice was the same. He said I had won $139,000 and a new 2018 Mercedes Benz. He wanted to know if I would accept delivery today. I asked him if there was another person I could contact at Publisher Clearing House to make sure this was for real. He said yes, he would give me that information after he got some information from me. I hung up and called the ScamPulse.com. The sign for me was his broken sentences and speaking slow and it was the same voice when I called the other number. They tried to call me back twice but I did not answer.

this is the text message that I had received I did not reply I called the number to see if it was even a real number and I got a voicemail after getting the voicemail I had notified that if this were scammed it would be reported well I search online and did some digging this is a scam. the numbers are originating from somewhere in New York and they have been calling or texting trying to scam people who are affected by Hurricane Harvey. Don't fall for it report these numbers immediately if you get a call or a text from a number that begins with 516 - 596 do not reply do not fall for it

I've been receiving phone calls for over 2 weeks from Jay King who claims to be from Publishers Clearing House. He says I won $450,000. In order to collect it I must pay $250 to the BBB, then I can get the $450,000. Jay King has asked for my personal information, my SS#, Address, Date of Birth, my Mothers name, my Email address, none of these have I given him. He seems to know I am collecting SS Disability & when my check comes in. He also asks for my Credit Card info, number, security code, etc. I feel certain this is a scam.

He also told me that at the end of the year I would have to pay 1 percent of the taxes. Did not do this.
