They claim on one of publishers clearing house of 5 million and $500,000 but in order for me to receive that I would have to pay the IRS $2500 before they would mail me my check I kind of figured that it was a scam at that time because in order to win money you don’t have to pay any money and they were insistent that I had to pay a sold car registration fee of $2500

My husband received a letter indicating his numbers that were entered had won for a lump sum $2 million $500 thousand/ $8,000 a week for life. "Your payment will be processed and must leave our office within 72 hours". Please contact your agent Daniel Greer at 888-874-5922 or 888-440-3735 of your method of payment and your agent will advise you for the best choice of payment. He never entered for the sweepstakes.

The caller asked if was at home or not because they were on their way with 2023 Mercedes and 7.8 million dollar check. I was asked to write down registration numbers and IRS number and repeat it back to him. When I declined, he got upset and I questioned why is there a rooster crowing in background and he disconnected the call. They started calling from number in New York and somewhere else. They asked if I was close to Walmart. I hope they do not have my address. He stated someone was on the way to deliver prices at the start of the call. I ended the call by saying I'm calling the police to report them. These are their numbers

(876)801-0506, (929)280-2808,(876)213-2334.

Left phone message on wife's phone. I returned the call and left a message for return call. Was called 3/9am to hear it was PCH and he was David Fischer. He informed me I had won 5.5 mil, $7000 a week for life, and a new Mercedes. "He" had his "secretary" send an email with details. $500 processing fee, and $10,000 IRS "Tax verification" FEE. I told the gentleman I wanted to look it over good. Went to my lawyers to have him look at it and he sent me to the BBB. I will have a nominal charge for counsel, and it wasted 4 hours of my time.

We recieved a call telling us we had won the monthly sweepstakes from PCH,they provided a phone number to call to get the facts. We called the number (607)300-4417. We had to leavea message. They called us back and told us all the facts;ie 2.5 million dollars, a 2022 Mercedes G class SUV; and $750,00.00 per month. They sent us a packet that included a page from the BBB, signed by Henry Cameron verifying the win from PCH for 2.5 million dollars. All we needed to do was pay $1850.00 to show good intensions. When we told them we didn't have $1850.00, they told us they would accept $300.00 which we did have. They asked us to get a cash card, MoneyPak Card. I gave them the number from the card to start the process for delivering the winning monies. The price patrol was on the way to deliver the prizes. Then the prize marshal told them we needed to pay the state prize tax, another $350.00. We told them that wasn't going to happen, the gentleman hung up. We were told that the funds we paid would be returned as part of the prize so we wouldn't be paying anything. They haved called back two times the first time we just hung up. The second time I talked to them the call was to give us another chance to fulfill the "requiements" to get the prize, yes pay the $350.00 prize tax!
