Report

Someone identifying as Tyler Madison phoned my mother and kept her on the line all morning explaining that my parents had won 10 million dollars and all the related details. Ultimately he told her that they have set up an office at Walmart and that a tax of $599 needs to be paid in cash to get the ball rolling. Then the money can be released. He asked them to meet him there asap. Fortunately others had recounted similar experiences online and my parents suffered no losses.

He asked if I was the owner of this phone number. Sated I won $2.8 plus a Mercedes of my color. When I told him I never entered a Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. he said they take random numbers and they pick a winner from the random numbers.He wanted me to go to Walmart or Walgreens to register with a Lights of London. This is the insurance company. Wanted me to send $500. He had an accent. His name is John Thomas. I hung up on him. I don't know how he wanted me to send the money. He said the check would come through Bank of America. An additional phone number 864-406-3560. He called back after I hung up on him. He asked if I wanted public or private delivery. I knew the entire time it was a scam. I tried to call both numbers. Went to voice mail. He advised me not to tell anyone. He said you know how people can be when they find out you have won money. He sounded very professional. I asked if he could explain between private and public delivery. He said private we could meet somewhere. Public there would be cameras. When I was on the phone with him my co-worker Googled this and found scam information on Google.

I get these phone calls 5 times a day from the Publisher Clearing House, saying I won $15 million dollars. I told him to stop calling me, & he said only when I pay the fee he wanted. He wanted me to go to Walmart to get a gift card, I told him no.

They called me saying I had won 1.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. The person said their name was Jimmy Kingston, and they said to claim it, I needed to go to Wal-Mart at 3:00PM and pay them 499 dollars. I told them to come to my home and give me the money and car first and then I'd have no problem paying them that. They then hung up.

I was called by Publishers Clearing House claiming that I won 1.2 million dollars and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. When I called Publishers Clearing House because it was Saturday I got voicemail that stated if I was called regarding anything about winning money it was a scam. When I was called again regarding my winnings I let them know what I heard in the voicemail and they said they were affiliated with the business, and not actually the business. They wanted me to pay $400 and to send them a money order to them from Walmart. When I said I couldn't afford that they said they would take $200 now and $200 a week later so that I could get my winnings. When I refused they hung up on me.

I received a letter in the standard mail stating I had won 2.5 Million with a check enclosed for $5770. I did not sign up for publishers clearing house so I called the ScamPulse.com to find out if this was legit. I was told that the two phone numbers were out of Canada and that if I called the numbers that they would ask me to send them money.

Publisher's Clearinghouse - they told me I won 1 Million dollars. They said they have been trying to call, but have been unable to reach me. They also sent a check for 7,000 written on a Canadian Credit Union Check. They said international fees may apply, so this why they sent the $7,000

Male person called claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House stating that I had won 2.5 million dollars in a drawing. I pretended that the connection was bad and hung up. He called back immediately and asked me why did you hang up? You won a prize. I said I do not understand what you are trying to tell me. He said again that I had won this money in a drawing. I replied by saying that I had not entered into any drawings. He said that they select it from phone numbers.....I told him that this phone call seems suspicious to me and he began getting a little belligerent insisting that I confirm that I would like to have this money. I said I don't like this, it sounds like a scam and I will report this phone number. His response..."I will report your mama" and then he hung up!
