Offered 3.5 million dollars must sent them an amount for ACH transfer fee before I can receive the award. Later $20,000 was the amount needed. This was to be reimbursed when they paid the 1st payment. I was to get this money from any money I have available. I was given a phone number to the Federal Reserve Bank 888-230-6370 along with an account number to check that the amount of money was available. Gave names of 3 different persons that are a part of PCH.

Received a call from Jimmy Brown that I had won 2nd place drawing of 2.5 million and to call and give this verificatio code and winni g number to Barbara Edward. I "won" 2.5 million plus a 2024 Ford and a gas card and 7,000 a month. 99% of the taxes would be paid, I just needed to pay 3,898 for my share of taxes. I said they could take it out of the winnings, she tried to convince me otherwise and hung up. She did say it was a special promotion for senior citizens

I was told I was the 2nd place winner of the Publisher's Clearing House Golden Harvest contest in conjunction with Readers Digest and had won 17 million dollars and brand new Mercedes Benz. I was told to call Todd Sloan at (516) 905-9692 (my account rep) with any questions on how how to claim my prize. The money was being held at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City. I did not call. The number came up on my cell phone as potential spam (347) 926-1543 and they left this information as a voice mail.

On Nov. 2 at 8:30 PM EST I received a call (did not speak with her- let it go to voicemail because the call was from a Private Caller) from a person posing as Deborah Holland from Publishers Clearinghouse stating I won $7,000/wk for life. She told me to call 929-526-5320 to claim my prize with a claim number 85031. On Nov. 3 at 8:30 a.m. EST, I called the number (out of curiosity), and it went to voicemail so I hung up- didn't state any name. Once I made that call, I then received 3 calls from James Brown from 973-888-3789 of which I let go to voicemail. No message left.

Rec'd letter on 10/23/2023stating I had won $1,500,00. Needed to contact Agent Dave Sayer @ 929-695-2542 or 929-923-8722 with my claim # *************. Needed to answer the letter within 7 days. To avoid delay keep this award confidential until my claim is pro essed. Had a copy of cashier check from Publisher Clearing House very authentic looking. Called Publisher Clearing House thus morning and talked to a young man (Nick ?) who clarified it was a scam. He was hard to understand. I gave him only my address to verify my account # with PCH.

The caller wanted my elderly mom to go to Walgreens and buy a Visa card!! He told her he would meet her back at our house with 4 other people to fill out paperwork for a new Mercedes Benz, $5000/week for life and $5 million in the bank. She hung up twice. He kept calling back to pressure her. I overheard the conversation, and he did not want her to give me the phone. I hung up. He called back and I said I am reporting the number and to leave my mother alone. He has not called back. He gave her a prize claim number of j9091357000.

Publishers ClearingHouse Scam

I was notified I won one of the prizes offered by Publishers ClearingHouse. David Marshal, 888-949-9165, ref no: 00010619887. He had all my personal information, address, name, date of birth, social security number. Arrangements are being made to pay the 35% tax and will need $9,000 sent to Sarah Porter, 4213 Walnut Avenue, Carmichael, CA 9508. Like a fool, I did.

The federal reserve set up a checking account, 604097303, and call 929-470-1920 to arrange deposit of $3.5m. I called and to complete the transaction, a transfer fee of $425,430 be paid first. It was suggested I take out a loan then forward the fee. I don’t even have $2,500 to my name let alone qualify since the only income is social security.

To complete the transfer of funds, purchase an Apple Gift Card for $50.00 to register with the Federal Reserve before the funds can released. A P19 tax form will be emailed to be submitted. There is no such tax form. Final process to release funds 10/14. Any questions, call 888-668-6369. There’s a delay in financial processing.

Finally received a sweepstakes document, however checking with PCH, this is not a valid form asking for additional money. Sent from [email protected], 509-790-0134.

Claimed I won a prize, and all I needed was to purchase a gift card and write a # on the back of the receipt. Then said I needed to purchase another card for 499.00 and I said no, they insisted but I said no. They said they would call me back with more information, but they took my gift card money, and told me it was refundable because when I checked the card it was a 0 balance and I haven't heard back from them like they said.....
