They called claiming I had won money from Publishers Clearing House, also claiming that the FBI was on the line, recording and listening in to the call. They said they would arrive at my door in 45 minutes to give me the check of $8.5 million, a 2017 black GMC Denali, and that I could claim $5,000 at a local Walmart. Eventually they said that I must first pay $450 to the IRS before I could claim anything. When I asked for them to confirm their legitimacy they put their "manager" on the phone, who proceeded to yell at me asking if I really wanted to claim the prize or not. Any mention of what PCH uses to confirm legitimacy of the contact, was further met by aggression.

Caller stated that I won the Publishers Clearing House prize of 950 thousand dollars, trying to find out the best time that I would be home to claim my prize. My husband had also got a call earlier stating the same thing except they told him he had to pay 398 dollars up front for 1 percent of taxes and that they pick up the other 99 percent of the taxes

Person called and said that I had won $5000.00 a week for life. Said the "team" would be at my house in 30 to 45 minutes to present me with my first check for $5000.00. Asked if I had shopped at any of the list of stores he had mentioned within the last week, because that's how my name got in the system for the chance to win. Before I could get the check, I would have to register my "name" for $450.00. I said not interested and person then hung up.

Company called saying they were sending me a free watch for my recent subscription. They said I was a finalist to win $25,000. They also wanted to send me three other free subscriptions for a year. They asked if I was familiar with these magazines, I said yes, which sounded like they recorded it. I then said I didn't want anything from them and hung up. They knew my name when they called but I didn't provide any address or personal information.

Caller advises you won $5.5 million dollars but needs $750.00 processing fee to release funds. Wants money order sent to Merchant Bank, Kathy Jones, 7200 North 7th 2t, Phoenix Ar. 85220. We noticed caller used 970-323-4929 as his phone but on two calls 876-583-6280 (Jamaica Area Code) and 401-351-4056 Rhode Island area code while claiming 970-323-4929 was his actual phone Colorado Area Code. We didn't fall for it but just wanted to report activity

CONSTANTLY (2-3 times per day) receiving email after email. Emails alternate between telling me that I have won something,or that I am fully registered, next email will tell me I have to complete my registration or I will be eliminated from the contest, Additionally they are constantly harassing me to make another purchase.

This company is out of control, and harasses members of the public

Received a call from a Susana Duncan from Publishers Clearing House. She said I won $255,000 plus a Mercedes. She transferred me to a Matthew White who said someone would be coming to my house to deliver the prize. They asked for my package number, so that they could send my information to a lawyer. Then he asked how far away I lived from a Walmart so that I could fill out a form with 6 easy questions and then get a money gram for $610 to send to them. He asked if I was dressed and ready to answer the door for when the money arrives. He told me I had to have cash and give a money gram number to them.

I was told I had won second place in a recent publishers clearing house contest. I was asked to call back the number that was calling to verify the number & offer was legit. I chose to NOT call that number back.

I also reported this scam to the Maine State Attorney General's Consumer office.

Complainant was called by a Publishers Clearing House Agent named Dave Sawyer who told him he had won 2.5 million dollars. To get the money he was told to go to Walmart and wire $550 to the Walmart in Weymouth, MA. After sending the money he was instructed to call 518-557-7291 to speak with a woman named Mrs. Vanessa Williams to let her know so they could arrange for the Prize Patrol to bring the money.

I have had two calls to my cell phone from Publishers Clearing House. Callers name is David Moore, Their phone number is 484-464-4842. On my caller ID and he gave me the number. Stated I won $9,5 million. I would receive $7000 a week until October this year. I think that is what he said. They wanted $950 upfront payment. Filing fee. Requested cash. Wired. Wanted me to get a senders form from Walmart. Once they got the money there would be people here at my house at 2:00. I know it is a scam. He gave me badge number 1825. I did not send any money. I wanted to report it so a senior would get scammed.

Someone calls and says they're from Publishers clearing house and you have won $13 million and a Mercedes. They tell you to call the number listed above and ask for John Malone and they say you have to pay the taxes on your winnings via prepaid card.
