David Law called and said I had won the Publishers Clearing House, I almost fell for it, it sounded so wonderful. Then he told me I would have to pay the shipping and handling charges of $805.00 - that is when I hung up on him, he called me back and said why did you hang up on me. I told him, he was yelling at me and because I would not do what you said to do. And was not going to deal with him. That is when I called the Better Business Bureau.

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.

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?

I'm 83 years old. I got a call from John Grohm from Publishers Clearing House. He said I won 1.1 million. He told me not to tell anybody about the call because if I did they would call and get the money instead of me. He wanted to deliver it to my house. He wanted my bank account number. He told me to go to the bank and open an account and put in $25. He gave me a number to call to verify the prize, 888-973-3751. A woman answered "Wells Fargo". She confirmed I had won PCH. I gave them nothing.

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.
