Phone call asking if I was home to accept prize. They first asked that I go to a store (Target) to retrieve a registration number so I could accept it and call them when I get there. Instead I called the actual Publisher’s Clearing House to confirm it was a scam. When I texted the number back and said they were a scam and I wouldn’t call them ,they responded “[censored] you”.

on May5/16/24, I received a voicemail fom 702-534-2040 stating that I was being contacted to receive 4.5 millon dollars in in the PCH swepstakes. I returned the call leaving a vm of acknowledgement. The call from number was a different number and I called that number as well; it was not answered as a business but with a "hello". I said wrong number and hung up. Today, 5/23/24, I received a call back from the vm left, once again, saying that i would receive na certified check from Bank of America as a sweepstakes winner for $4.5 million from PCH. I only have to pay the taxes $936 to receive the certified check. Iresponded , no thank you abd hung up. $936 is a lot of money to me because I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. I was also told that a letter had been sent notifying me of this prize. If it came, i probably tossed it out as junk mail. I hope these heartless scammers are caught.

A man named Robert Anderson from the Publisher's Clearing House called, caller ID (646) 212-9807. I only picked up because it's an NYC area code and I live in NYC. He told me I had won $7.5 million or $5,000/week for life, in addition to a 2023 Mercedes. Then he said I had to go to the nearest Walmart/Walgreens/CVS to get some kind of card for tax purposes which I was supposed to present to Steve Harvey (really) when he showed up at my door with the prize money, which was definitely going to happen today. He sounded American but spoke slowly and drawn out as if he were on drugs or maybe intellectually handicapped. Not joking. Now I know Publisher's Clearing House is a legit organization, which is why I stayed on the phone so long. But once he started asking irrelevant questions like whether I was going to walk or take an Uber to my local Walgreens, I knew for sure it was fake. I told him I was at work and getting another call. He got a little defensive and said I thought you were at home. I said yeah, that's where I work. They need to update their script for the post pandemic era.

They had my name and address. They said I won $255,000 and a 2024 Mercedes Benz. They said they would bring a check as well as a case with $55,000. They gave codes to verify package for deliver and code for the money case. They gave the name of the Legal person, Mrs. Linda Phillips. Person I talked to name was Matthew. He told me I needed to get a either a Vanilla Master gift card or MoneyPack Green Dot gift card from Rite Aid or Dollar General for the amount of $430 in order to get my prizes. They also said i would need to pay taxes on the winnings by June 20th. I was given a call back number 917-277-0578

The Scammer< said his name was Steven Thomas Badge # ECH441, Said I won the Publishers Clearing House 3.5 million and then $2,000 every week. He said He was in Toledo OH and would come today to give me the money. He wanted me to go to the store and get a Vanilla VISA card. He would stay on the line with me until I got it. I was at the grocery store at the time he called, I just hung up. But I think he is going to call me back tonight. He wouldn't stop calling me back, so I answered and said I wasn't near a place to get the card.

When I answered the phone, I asked who was calling and he said Mr Gray. I told them to remove my number from their database. He asked if I wanted my prize. I told him no and hung up the phone.

Man called today said his name was John Mahoney from PCH. He gave me a name of a Lawyer-Mary Allen-who was to "help me" with my 2 million dollar prize. I also was to get a navy blue 2024 S550 Mercedes. He gave me 3 different prize codes, and a raffle code. He then started wanting to "confirm" my information. As I started questioning him he started throwing out the personal information he had on me: My name and address. The address was from over 13 years ago. As I questioned him more he became verbally abusive and referenced my mothers private parts then hung up.

Peter Vancastle stated he was with Publisher's Clearing House and that I had won Second Place as an Awarded Winner for $1.5 million dollars. He stated they work with Wells Fargo and Chase Banks. Gave me IRS security code of *********01US; ScamPulse.com code *********5US; and SBC code *********8US. He wanted me to repeat these to him but I didn't, instead asked him why I needed these numbers. He kept stating that this wasn't a hoax and he could give me a web address where I could look up & see they had this money available. He then stated he needed to ask me some questions for the Winner Intake Form, (i.e. married, single, retired, home, apartment, etc.) I asked again what this had to do with anything. He stated again it was the Winner Intake Form that he had to fill out and they needed to know who was going to be here when they brought me a check. I told him he didn't sound legit, he once again said this wasn't a hoax, and I replied him saying that didn't give me convince me and that he would need to put this info in the mail and hung up. Please feel free to contact me if I can provide any further information on this matter. Thank you. ****** ******** *** ******** **** ***** ***** ****** **** ***** ************
