I received a voice mail last week stating they were the Publishers Clearing House and I won $7,000 a week. When I returned the phone call asking for the claim department, they transferred me to another gentleman that I couldn't understand and they wanted me to open up a new bank account at my current bank so they could transfer the money to the account. The also wanted me to go to Dollar General and purchase 2 green cards at $800 a piece. He hung because I told him I didn't have that kind of money.

Scammer wrote me a a signed letter by Deborah Holland, Executive Vice President of Publisher's Clearing House:. That letter stated that I won $750,000.. The scammers also included a check issued to me for $7,900.25 to (cover the taxes, handling and processing fees of the amount won. The letter explained that this was confidential and that I needed to cal lMr. Jerry Price for the method of payment at one of these numbers: 1-718-696-7762 or 1-516-600-0056. The letter stated that because this was from an Internatonal Prmotions/Prize Award Dept., I would need to pay my international Sweepstakes by law: taxes, handling and processing fees.

When I called the real Publishers Clearing House, they replied that the check that I received and the information was a scam.

They gave me a "name" of John Carter and a winning number and a Lawyer's name of Miss Mary Allen. who would be receiving a check from me to pay the taxes (allegedly) of $3500. I DID NOT fall for this, said they could take the taxes out of the winnings; to which they hung up on me.

I received a Facebook call from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House. He said I won $7000 a week for the rest of my life. The page looked legitimate. He wanted me to fill out a form while we were on the phone and I ended up giving him my SSN. He asked for my debit card info and I hung up because I realized it was a scam.

My mother received a call from someone claiming to be Publishers Clearing House. They told her she won $2.5 million plus $7000 a week for life. They said she had to pay $4722.18 in taxes to receive my money. They said they paid 99% of the taxes for her because she is a senior citizen. I called them back and they gave me confirmation codes and verification codes as well as a code they claimed was for their information with BBB. They gave me bank info to call and verify the funds were in the bank, they gave a Chase bank account and it said there was $4 million in the account. It wasn't in a Publishers Clearing House account it's in a Treasury Department account as unclaimed funds.

I received a call from someone claiming to be with Publisher's Clearing House. They had me write down a bunch of information: Michael Blue, badge #070, prize #235373 and that I was the US certified winner. They were going to give me a cashier's check from Bank of America for $2,580,000 and a 2024 navy blue Ford Explorer black interior with blue stitching. He gave me a private/confidential number 015682WD1X but didn't say what it was for. He also gave me names of the "Prize Patrol Team": Andy Goldberg, Deborah Allen, Dave Sayers. He said that the Prize Patrol Team would visit me with a sheriff's deputy to deliver the prize. Then he asked if I could come up with the first payment of $850 to receive my prize, and I figured it was a scam.

Contacted by phone that I was the 2nd place winner of $4.5 Million and a Mercedes SUV. Gave me contact number, a code word, and after several calls forwarded information to me with a form to fill out which included asking for my SSN#. Multiple calls. when I said I would to have my attorney and my accountant look at the paper work, he immediately said "Oh no, we must keep this confidential. I needed to talk to a manager. Interestingly, the title for the gentleman I was talking to had a title of Vice President but I need to talk to a manager. Two other red flags were (1) his use of terms that are common to foreigners such as calling me Miss ***** and other idiom type words and (2) some odd wording in the documents they sent.

I was contacted saying I had won 3.5 million and a new Mercedes car. Asked if I had received a claim letter in the mail. I replied no. Caller was Greg Grey 516-919-6667 and badge # B009.

Greg asked that I look in the mailbox today and then reach back out to him.

I did not volunteer any information to him. I never even registered to win anything. For sure a scam
