I received a text message from a friend who claimed she received $150,000 (cash) from Publisher's Clearing House. She told me to call a number for more info but I don't have the number handy. The last time I actually spoke with my friend was several months ago. I have not yet called her to verify if she actually sent the text.

Male person with an Indian accent with the name of Charles William called saying I had won $250,000, C class Mercedes 2019 with a year of Geico insurance, $5,000 a week for lifetime. He gave me a reference number and said not to give it to anyone. A car would be arriving in 45 minutes with a UPS truck. But first, the IRS would call to take the 1% out of my prize and PCH would cover

the other 29%.

 Consumer received a call from "Publisher's Clearing House" stating that her husband won the big sweepstakes prize (cheering in the background was created over the phone). The consumer was apprehensive about acknowledging their "big win" and continued to ask the scammers how they obtain their winnings. The scammer proceeded to ask the consumer for their bank account information. The consumer advised the scammers that they can send the money via certified check. The scammer insisted that the money would be less if she opted for a certified check. Consumer advised scammer that she knew that she was being scammed. Scammer continued to call the consumer for several months after and repeated the same information as in previous phone calls.

I'm a senior citizen and have received calls for the past 4-5 days claiming I won $1,000,000. The caller said their main office is in Texas but that he was calling from Jericho, New York. He said someone was coming today around noon with my prize money but first said I needed to get a Vanilla Card for $499 from Walmart. He saId not to tell anybody at Walmart about the sweepstakes. I didn't do what he asked and called ScamPulse.com instead.

A guy who said his name was Whiteside with a private number on the Caller ID called and said he was from Publisher's Clearing House and I'd won a lot. I was to call aq Claim Dept. (number above) and when a person answered I was to enter my PCHID # and my Pin # which the caller gave me. I didn't call the number but called the Better Business Bureau instead. Publisher's Clearing House NEVER contacts people by phone. They show up at your door.

Contacted by "Albert Davis with PCH". He said I had won a prize to be delivered and asked if I was at home. When I told him I was at work he gave me a confirmation number and told me to call when I got home. The phone number showed up on my caller ID as a United States number. I suspected a scam, but wanted to make sure, so I called the number and almost immediately received a text from my phone provider that my plan does not include international calls. Turns out, the caller was from Jamaica...a man with a different name answered, but sounded a lot like Albert Davis so I suspect it was the same person I spoke with the first time. He again said he was with PCH and I had won a prize. He asked my name, which I did not give, and when I questioned him about contacting me by phone and asked him to send a certified letter if I had won something, he hung up on me.

I received a call from John Carter and he said he has a Publisher Clearing House check for him and said he will be by this afternoon about 4:30pm to collect the taxes for this money. I first called the bank and they referred me to the ScamPulse.com and to input this information on the Scam Tracker.. If he comes by I am not going to answer the door.

 Consumer received a call from Dave Sawyer who was claiming to be from the Publisher's Clearinghouse. He was claiming that consumer had won a 1.5 million dollar check that consumer never responded back to. He also said that consumer won a car and that they were on their way from Springfield Ohio to deliver the prize to her. He knew her address. The caller ID on consumer's phone said "unavailable". Dave asked her if she was sure she didn't receive any mail about the check. Consumer answered "yes", and then Dave said that someone must be watching her house and stealing her mail.
