I got a call from what I thought to be Publisher's Clearinghouse, 866-574-1329, saying I had unclaimed winnings of $12.5 million and a Mercedes Benz and that I needed to fill out paper to email back to them to claim prize. I stated that I did not receive the paper work and they sent again. Then called back and asked if I receive the paper work, which I said I did, then gave FED Reserve phone # 509-490-3250, along with an account # *********** *** *** * ****. Once all info was given to bank, then they would call. After I read all information from "pch" website, there was amount of $62,500.99 to be paid by me before the funds would be released. All phone numbers given were under a scam watch, so sent an email back to "[email protected] stating the following = I WILL NOT be part of this, because in the State of Wisconsin when it comes to any sweepstake or prize there Is NO fee to enter or claim any prize. So the fees that total $62,500.99, should not be charged to claim the prize. I WANT my name removed from this and I will be sending this to the State of Wisconsin. Also, I have talked with my accountant regarding this matter and they advised, very vehemently, against it. I am waiting for a call back to tell them that this is a SCAM.

Mark Anderson called and said he had an award for $350,000. He gave my name and address to verify he had the correct information. He then proceeded to say all that was necessary was to go Walmart and get a $199.00 gift card and call back at his #

501-722-6454. He would then send someone to my home, verify my identity, hand over the gift card and then I would receive my check for $350,000. He kept repeating “he wanted just 1% of my trust and he guaranteed he would put a smile on my face.” Each time I voiced my concern he kept repeating his instructions and tried to reassure me he wasn’t a scam and wanted to get me completely registered so I could receive my award.

I finally hung up and he called back 3 times. I didn’t answer but he did leave a voicemail message.

The story the caller gave my matches those previously reported.i did not supply any information in addition to whatever he said to me. Told me my $18.5 M. Is held by Bank of America.

I knew right from the beginning of the call that it was probably a scam.

2-28-2024 In the morning my ring doorbell went off showing a UPS truck delivering a package that I wasn’t expecting. Inside was a Letter from PCH Congratulation on being selected winner of $1,000,00 along with an affidavit of eligibility asking for my SSN and and to have this letter notarized. Which red flags ?? pop up every time I would call . There media voice mail says they will never send a letter about your winning just the opposite. They will just appear. So I am so confused. I don’t want this to happen to anyone who is counting every penny. It’s just wrong* ***** *** ***** ********
