Contacted me out of the blue about seeing my name on the PCH list. Asked if I had heard from them. Then went on and gave a lengthy explanation of what they do. I thought it was suspicious because the message was sent during school hours and the friend who sent the message does NOT have a cell phone.

I was contacted by phone by a Susan Williamson who left a message that I won PCH $10k per week for life, plus a new Mercedes AND $7.5 million dollars.

I was told to go to a bank that I have used for at least three years and open a new account. I was told the deadline to do this is this Friday.!

After ai Called the number and got the details, four people pretending to be from P CH called me to see if the bank document had been completed. The names were James Cooper, John Cooper, and John Elliott. The last caller is not leave their name.

I am 74 years old and believe that people trying to scam older people who have worked their entire life to get by are the worst kind of criminals.

I have a document package that they sent if it would be helpful to catching these people.

Robotic VM saying I had won PCH Sweepstakes prize of $13.5 million and $10,000 per week for life. Called 1-877-932-4360 number and Todd Sloane answered, identified himself as a employee of PCH. Emailed me a form to fill out to claim prize. Prize form has punctuation, sentence and layout errors, confirmed my doubts. Form has a section explaining "Gift Registration Payment", which even more confirms it is a scam.

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.

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.
