I received two calls on my cell phone today. The caller claimed to be with Publishers Clearing House. The phone number is 876-843-4556. Was in my caller ID. He congratulated me. 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!

Recieved call saying they were from Publishers Clearing House coordinating with UPS. Said I won 2.5 million and Mercedes. Prize patrol would be at my door in 45 minutes. Rep from PCH would be there along with other people including a tax person etc. Then transferred me to another similar number to the "CEO" of company. Told me I needed $399 to give delivery driver for the Mercedes, but it could not be cash or check. I hung up on him at that point and he called me back! He was rude at that point when I told him that it was all a bunch of BS, that I should not have to pay anything to win and that I would only "jokingly"believe it when they showed up in driveway!! Then I hung up. They tried to make me stay on the line probably so I couldn't contact anyone else or look up there number. I did not give out any private information. First caller sounded American second one was definitely foreign. Apparently after looking up area code, from Jamaica. I would like to add that the first scammer was very good at it, I normally hang up immediately when receiving these type of calls but he sounded like anyone's grandpa!

I got a call on my cell phone.the man said he was jack nickelson from publishers clearing house. I asked what number she won from. He couldn't verify that at the time. He asked my grandmother if she had a car and driver's license to make t o Walmart to send money . That she would have to show the reciept to the team when they arrived. I asked why should my grandmother pay taxes on something she hasn't gotten yet He wanted to stay on the phone with me until I go to Walmart and paid $350 10% in taxes and in 35 minutes to an hour the team and news will be theretheo give her her certified check. I told him that i'd need to write the information down first and drive to the store. He then put a female with the same type(Indian-middle eastern) accent to spell the IRS accountants name Rosalie Nemeth and to send it to North Port, Florida 34286. I told them I have a flip phone can't speaker the phone and Oklahoma you can't drive and talk and I hung up. I called the number back and it said the person your trying to contact is not taking calls at this time. I looked up Rosalie Nemeth North Port, Florida and that lady is old and white and is 75 years old. Not the accent i was hearing on the phone.Some one should call that lady and tell her ,her identity has been stolen 9414266754
