I sent the following message to your email address before I saw your "Scam Tracker."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I believe I was just contacted (10:00 AM) by a scam artist. He said he was with Publisher's Clearing House and I am the newest winner of 2.5 million dollars. It was a twenty minute conversation and I continued to tell him I was skeptical. He was trying to get information from me--which I did not provide. He wanted $3,500.00 as the "registration fee" and that needed to be paid before "the Prize Patrol" would arrive at my door. ~~~ I can provide additional information if you are interested. * **** ** *** ******* ******* ** ***** **** * *** *** **** ***** ****** ** ***** ****** ** ************* ** ***** ******** ~~~~ ************ ********* ** *********** ******** *******

John Bigley was who I was talking too. They provided my address. I had won $500,000 and a Silver titanium Car convertible. I was to pay $3,500 and as soon as I got the money I was supposed to contact Bernard Smith and he would advise what I was to do with the money.

A Mr. David Miller called said I’d won $8.5 million dollars, thru a random phone number selection that I had to write down first my winnings # 0007577275 than my claims # 838484859 than I believe he called it the package # 9905505290015..... Mr. Miller than said I have an account now because of Publishers Clearing House at Bank of America & have me this # to call 1(800) 706-6546.... and an account # 41629569 to enter in after pushing option # 2 when calling, than when prompted to enter the pin # 25640. When the automated female voice said “welcome” after each # I was given to enter, I definitely knew this was not real winnings. She said I would need to pay$4,000.00 dollars to receive this $8.5 million dollars!!!! Mr. Miller has not called me back yet and God Willing he & All Who Are involved in scamming will be stopped!

Janice (wife) has had multiple calls in Feb 2021. She gave him a prepaid $200 card. Last time he wanted her to send $3500 to get the car out of where it's being held. (903) 553-1920 (Landline) & (903) 530-3774 (cell) Scammer then asked for a check or money order when she refused to get another pre-paid card for $3500. His name is "James" but she can't remember his last name. The supervisor (Jim Thurston) then called and she could hear him in the background saying "send her the email that has all the information from PCH".

A David Miller sent her an email on Jan 30, 2021, with a picture of 2 men & a woman standing in front of a van that says Prize Patrol, etc.

A man with a foreign accent called, said his name was Patrick Anderson and said he said you are familiar with Publishers Clearing House. I said I was but had not entered in a number of years. He said I had won $850,000.00 + $5,000 per week for life. What he wanted to know how I wanted to get the money quietly or come and act like it was a surprise. He then wanted me to go get a vanilla card from CVS for at least of $150/dollars. I told him I wasn't going to pay to win anything. Then he hung up on me. I gave him no information. He did have my address.

The scammer said he was from Publishers Clearing House and that my husband (he did not know is deceased) won $5,000/month for life. I told him I am a widow and he said it was mine. He wanted me to send all of my personal information over a scheduled phone call the next day. I talked to my daughter who said it was a scam. So I did not call him. Tom Turner was the name he used.

I've gotten 15 calls from Publisher's Clearing House in the last two weeks. They are foreigners: Mike Henry and something Moler. They say they work for the US Treasury Dept. But they are also CEOs. They said in 2019 I had won $5.5 million and 2021 white Mercedes Benz, with 6 months of Geico insurance, which will be delivered on a flatbed truck. They said they'd been looking for me for two years. They said they paid the Better Business Bureau $150,000 to find me. I said the ScamPulse.com doesn't do that. They said the Better Business Bureau wouldn't tell me if they were. They said the IRS told them to drop it, but they were determined to find me to give me my money. They want me to go to Walmart and buy a $500 Vanilla Card. The card is for the people who will come. I said I don't have $500, so they said they would pay $200, so all I would have to pay is $300. I'm also supposed to get $100,000 cash in a locked briefcase. They said they would not scam me out of money as they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who died to deliver us from our sins and they go to church every Sunday. They said they could see that I had been scammed before. I told them they are the scammers.

I got a call from Taylor from Publisher's Clearing House, saying I had won $1.8 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. He said the car would be delivered on a flatbed truck. He asked if I was marrid or lived alone. He asked my boyfriend if we had a checking account so we could deposit the check. He said it wouldn't cost us anything but I should buy a $100 Vanilla Gift card to give to the lawyer when he came to the house to register my winnings with the government. He asked if I wanted it kept confidential or put on the news. He kept saying: "this is no joke. how does it feel to win a million dollars, this is for real. this is not a scam. stop wasting my time. I want the number off the card". He told me to buy the card from Family Dollar Store or Walgreens. He offered to say on the phone while I went to get the card. I said it's a landline, then he wanted to know how long it would take to get the card and how many miles to the Dollar Store. He asked that 3x. I asked where are you calling from, but he wouldn't answer. He was very upset when I hadn't purchased the card. He called later and talked to my boyfriend. He said, "I guess it's between you and me. Do you want this money or not? You could quit your job." He had an accent. His tone started out friendly but became more hostile the more times he called. The caller ID said Jamaica.
