I received a phone calls from Mary Johnson (786-377-6702, Bill Cooper & David Miller (309-432-5801) claiming to be with Publisher's Clearing House. They stated that that I won money. I said that I thought this was a scam. The next call that I received was from Mr. Washington claiming to be with the ScamPulse.com and he stated that it was not a scam & then he asked for money. He said that I should go to Walmart and send money via "Walmart to Walmart. He said that I Should send $950.00 to Jeffery Baxter Panama City FL. I did send the money and now I realize this was a scam. They are very convincing. I don't want others to be scammed. I have notified the real Publishers Clearing House, my bank and I will also contact Walmart and the police.

I got a call from Daniel he said he was with Publisher's Clearinghouse. He said I won $1.7 million. He wanted my bank card, so he could send the money ot the bank. I didn't give it to him because it's in my husband's name. Then he asked for my Driver's license number and my social security number so he could set up an account at the Laurelville Bank. I gave it to him. He told me to call him back at 816-535-9677 at 11am. He thought he would have the account set up by then. He had an accent. I could hardly understand him. I could hear others talking in the background. He's still calling. I called the Hocking County Sheriff's Department to report the call.

I received a call stating that I won the Publisher's Clearing House prize that was approved by the FTC.

David called and told me that I was the latest Publishers Clearinghouse winner and sent me a text showing me the check written out in my name. Then he said that 1% of 2.5 million had to be paid to clear taxes. My instructions were to go to the bank get $2500.00 in cash and it was wired to NY or overnight express via Fedex. He continues to call my phone and harass me. Other than reporting to the ScamPulse.com is there anything else I can do about this?

Daniel George & Josh Kennedy Chief Financial Officer I called the number the letter said to call the claims manager before depositing the check they send me.

I received a phone call on Tuesday, October 15th. The caller ID came up as "Publishers' Clearing House". I was not home at the time, and a message was left saying that I had won 4.6 million dollars; a claim number was left. The message also directed me to call the number back with this number so I could claim my prize. The following day I called the number and spoke to someone identifying himself as Robert Davis. Mr. Davis began by asking me some questions about my home phone number- which I confirmed. He then asked if I was married and if my husband was home- which I confirmed that he was. Mr. Davis then proceeded to ask if my husband could confirm that I could "claim" the prize. I placed my husband on the phone - he confirmed our address and said that I could claim the prize. Mr. Davis then asked where I had retired from - I did not recall telling him I was retired. He also asked about my husband's previous employment. Then he informed me that he was going to ask me some questions, so he could complete some forms for the 1040 and 1099 forms that would be needed when I claimed my prize. I asked why ths paperwork could not be completed after I received my money. He began to say things like I did not want to miss out on my 4.6 million dollar prize. I responded that I would not be giving him any confidential information like my SSN. The line then went dead. Now, I am going to have to monitor all of my accounts just to make sure that no one is messing with my identity.

They said I won 2nd prize in Publishers clearing house drawing.I knew it wasn't publishers clearing house so I requested a phone number to call them back.

- Arnold, MO, USA

I was contacted by phone that I had won a publisher clearing house sweepstake prize of 9.5 million dollars, $5000.00 a week for life, and a 2019 car with 1-year state farm insurance. They instructed me to go to Walmart to receive a money gram for $5000.00 payable to me as soon as I paid a $250.00 processing fee. This caller made this sound very believable and went to great lengths to insure me this was not a scam and he was not asking for any personal information. I got leary once they wanted me to go to Walmart.
