I won $7.5 million dollar winner from Publisher Clearing House. I also get a pearl grey Mercedez. I'm to call 917-580-4468 Dave Behr. I have to buy a $380 Green Dot Money cards as registraton to keep the bank from thinking you're money laundering. It would legitimize the money when I deposit the winnings into my account. He asked if I wanted it televized or to keep it private. He said if I televized it, people would get jealous. A Federal Marshal will deliver the money. I could hear lots of people in the background and a dog barking.

Ben Baker (with foreign accent) called from a restricted number advising that we won $1.5M but we have to buy an Amazon Gift Card before our price can be delivered. He will call us back in 45 minutes to get the card information and delivery of our prize will be delivered within 1hr and 49 minutes. Our prize registration number is 391164455522100571. We asked for his phone number in case we have an issue. He gave us 919-925-2262. We called that number from another line while on the phone with "Mr. Baker" and got a VM with his name but no identification of the business name.

I play games on my phone. I get alerts asking me to take surveys. Which I do. They ask you all kinds of questions. I get calls from all kinds of nuts. I called them Thursday. He sounded like he was at a party. He texted me the next day, Friday. I gave him the last 4 digits of my social security number, and mother's maiden name. They were going to deposit the money into my account.

Then I got a letter Payment and Final Notification. The contact agent phone number is 516-723-8901, Mr Robert Johnson. McKenzie Smith is the Senior VP.

I was contacted via telephone that I had won Publishers Clearinghouse. They needed my bank account information so that they could deposit the money into my account. They claimed they could not send a check to me via mail because their postal service was not operating.

I was called about 4:20 PM on 4/1/2020 by "Dave Sayer, Claims Department Manager" for Publishers Clearing House saying that I have won 3/5 million dollars and a bonus prize of a Mersades Bens C Class car. I was asked if I drove and if I had a drivers licence and if I owned a car. I was asked if I lived in a house or an apartment. I was asked if I was single, married or widowed (widowed). I was asked if I handled my own finances (yes I do) or if anyone else helped me with them (no they do not). I was told that I would receive my winnings on the coming Friday. I was given my choice of what kind of delivery of the prize I wanted. I said public. Conversation about the safety regarding the coronavirus COVID-19, etc. I asked what form the money would be in and was told by "cashiers check". I asked what time of day? Then requested that it be in the evening so that I could have my son present. I was asked if my son lived with me (no but lives near by). After 6 pm was agreed upon. I asked how I was to obtain the car and was told that it would be delivered at the same time as the prize money. I was also asked what kind of bank I used and if I had any investments with that bank. I was asked what kind of mail service I would use to send the car registration fee. I was given a call-back number if I had any questions (888-440-7380, ext.1). I was gold that "Dave" would be calling me back after he had confirmation that the prize money was in the Federal Reserve and available to be distributed to me. I asked for the phone number the "Dave" would be calling from (917-266-8569)

My wife received a letter and a check from Publisher's Clearing House. Neither of us have ever entered a PCH sweepstakes or the check is from Bank of America and Colonial Life. It looks amazingly real. The check $5640 is to cover insurance and attorney fees. It also says not to share it with a third party. Letter mailed from Baltimore, MD with no return address. The security code I'm to use when I call the claims manager is TPCH457812.

Received a call from recording stating I had won 2.5 million dollars in a powerball sweepstakes from publishers clearing house and a Mercedes Benz from a sweepstakes that started in 2002. they stated a phone number to call to claim my prize which would be delivered the next day. I called and a Abriam Johnson 702-746-3223 out of Vegas, Nevada he answered and congratulated me on winning the 2002 sweepstakes and told me that i had it pay the tax for the prize $3,000 with dollar store. he asked me if i could afford the tax, i played along and said certainly isn't it better a cashiers check but he was adamant that it had to be a 1 vanilla prepaid visa cards 6 in total each $500 and dont tell anyone because someone might follow me home from the store an rob me.

i would have to go to several dollar stores to purchase them. the store only allows 2/ $500.00 cards for purchase. I was to call him back after i purchased them at the number i had called. he asked how long it would take me i stalled and said my husband wasn't home from work yet.

so it would be at least an hour til i could use his car but as soon as i purchased them i would call him back. he said i needed to do it fast because they would deliver car and money to me tomorrow at my home and i was to turn over the cards to the driver , i said yea sure i'll call as soon as I'm done. i asked how i was to receive my winnings and he said cash, so i said you better get a real big suitcase . so within my hour stall i typed up this scam for all to see an i have no intention of answering my phone. i didn't give my address and he sure had a heavy African accent. i hope the poor fool doesn't wait too long for my call back lol.

Received a call from 876-843-2539, Robert Wilson, Publishers Clearing House. He said I had won PCH Sweepstakes. He shared his badge number 5011rw. He said I needed to make arrangements for a visit tomorrow. He asked if I wanted this to be public. I was to call Beverly Scott to register. I called, the message was that I did not have enough money on my account to make the call. I was supposed to add money to the account if I wanted the call to go through.
