I'm 89 years old. I never answer the phone, I just listen to voice mails. Today, I got a message from a foreign man who I can't understand, but he said something about Publisher's Clearing House and $5 million. He said to call him back at 518-497-5366.

I received a call from Andrew Anderson badge number 422 with an Indian accent called and said I won $2.7 million with the Publishers Clearing House and I should have gotten a golden ticket in the mail.; and I needed to go to the post office and get a money order for $500 and send it to Kathy Carpenter in trackable mail to 550 Huion Rd New Topal 36352 and put reference number 9090244449. He said he was going to call me back so I could give him the tracking number. When he told me to send him money I knew it was a scam. When he called me back I told him I couldn't find the tracking number it must have flew out the window. He called me back a couple more times and was angry with me because I didn't have the tracking number. I haven't played Publishers Clearing House in years.

Called saying won publishers clearing house to purchase 2

visa gift cards 1 for $199.00 2 for $100.00 and said to pay 1% of taxes. The total was $1450.00 we were to direct deposit into bank of America. After talking to bank and police we figured out it was a scam. They started spending the money on visas but we quickly recovered them.

His name-FRANK MARTIN-ID#707.his manger JOHN TAYLOR, the lawyer MARY SMITH, amt. won 3.5 MILLION ,2020 E CLASS MERCEDES. Also gave a package # and tag # for car. Ask if wanted presentation public or private. Then came the pitch about the IRS want their share and PCH paying $5000. of taxes and me paying only 1% which came to only $300. I was to get a card (could not get a clear understanding about this as to type, how to get ,etc.), but when I gave them the card for the taxes the lawyer was to give me $300. He also wanted me to stay on the phone until they got to my house. He said IRS & ScamPulse.com was aware & tracking.Did a check on the # he called me from (228-200-1206), it is a Ms. # ,& listed as "a scam or unsafe #"

Said his name was Paul W******** Second phone # read JM Kingston I had won the P.C. H. sweepstake's. But he needed $999.99 to cover the Government Stamp that needs to go on the check for the Bank's to accept the P.C.H. check.

He ask for my husband. But talked to me. Than ask if we had entered the P.C.H. sweepstakes.

1St off The P.C.H. sweepstakes entered are in my name, not my husbands. and why would he ask if we had entered? gave me a second # to call 876-340-9953. Ask me to call him back today the 6th about the $999.99 and what time I would be Home.

So is this a scam or is it reel?

I received a call from someone who said they were from the PCH and that I had won a large prize. But in order to claim the prize I need to go to the post office and purchase a money order for $650 and overnight it to them to an address they would provide once I had the money order.

I called PCH and they said that they would never call me or ask me to send money.

A man calling himself George Williams is blowing up my husband and my phone. He says he is with Publisher's Clearing House and my husband and I won $2.5 million and a 2020 Ford F150. The scammer says we will get $7k a week for the rest of our lives. He told us to go to post office with cash and mail it to Dorothy Weeks in Hillside, New Jersey. I am outside the post office now and called the ScamPulse.com for help.

The phone number is popping up as in Jamaica . I live in Junction City, Arkansas.

Phone number 876-869-4925 was in my caller ID. He said I won $5.5 million. I would also receive a 2020 Mercedes Benz on delivery. I would need to pay $7500 to the FDIC. I have to pay for my prize. I never heard of anyone having to put up money to receive money. He said I should go to Federal Express or UPS Store to register. Registration fee of $7500. I told him I will have to check you out. I also told him it was a scam. He said it's legal. They would not run a scam. He gave me another phone number of 518-978-1393 for confirmation. I know it is a scam.

I received a Facebook message from a friend regarding a PCH grant he received that I might also be interested in receiving. He gave me the link which I texted and was connected to another person thru FB messenger. Realizing it was a scam I exited FB messenger. They then texted me on my cellphone which I didn't respond to. The scam texted was sent from 281-325-0585. I did call my friend back who said he was hacked and that the hacker got his FB messenger list and that was not him that messaged me but was the hacker using his identity.

My parents are 95 and 93 and they are receiving phone calls from Eric Johnson at the Better Business Bureau. He can be reached at 623-246-8385, x. 101. He says they are making sure the winning presentation for my father is on the up and up. He wants me to call Wells Fargo at 323-499-3093 and choose option two to direct me to the appropriate department for the winnings. Then I'm to call him back about the presentation, and how they want to receive the winnings.

Called total of 3 times, 2 on 9/4/2020 & 1 time 9/5/2020. First caller said his name was Robert Goodman with Publishers Clearing House, #5058500127. Distinct accent, difficult to understand. Said we had won $3.9 million & $7,000 each week for life. Asked how far we were from a Walgreens & all we'd have to do is pay a $400 registration fee in U.S. dollars. Told the man we know how PCH operates and this is

definitely a scam and he tried to convince that it's not a scam. The call on 9/5/2020 he asked if we'd be home for an hour or so in order

that our package could be delivered to our door. Hung up on all 3 calls and needless to say, nothing was delivered to our home. No personal information was given and hope no one getting these calls give any information to them.
