I received a phone call today from Publisher's Clearinghouse. A man, with a Jamaican accent, said his name was David Esteban. He said I had won $5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. He gave me a package number and claim number. He was going to deposit the money in my account today. He said people in Gambier would be coming to my house. He asked me to go to Walmart and buy a $300 Amazon gift card. Then his men would come pick up the card, and give me a check and escort me to the bank. He said he was a very Godly man, and that my prayers had been answered. He said friends would take advantage of me if they knew I had won $5 million dollars so to keep it confidential. He kept saying, "I know you want to cry, so just let it out, let it out". He asked me if I wanted to be on radio or television or keep it confidential. I told him I could get to Walmart in the next three hours, and he responded that I needed to get there now. So, I told him I would call him back when I get the card.

Entered by BBB Staff SE 6-26-2019

Consumer received an "Executive Memorandum" from "Executive Vice President Deborah Holland" with the subject line reading "Incomplete Compliance for your $25,000 A Month for Life Prize Number". It appears there was a handwritten note on the top of the letter stating "Mr._______ This was sent after you've ignored prior notices! Don't you want to win?". In the letter there were instructions of what the consumer would be receiving in the next day and they provided a prize number to use when calling them.

Called and was told I won over 2 million dollars, the caller identified himself as "William Kennedy" but sounded foreign. Asked him if he goes by "Bill" and the caller sounded confused. He mentioned his CEO " John Peterson with a code 995-20 would contact me with further information on how to get my 2 Million. Lots of red flags.

A lady call me stating I won $1 Million Dollars and they want to come to my house but, when they come it't going to be a suprise. So, she said, I'm not telling you when we coming. We know you are going to be so happy to receive your check. By the way, we are going to need you to give us your driver license number. My excitement die down and I figure this is a scam.

Billy Bradshaw called from Publishers Clearinghouse. He was Indian. He said I had won 3rd place: 6 million and a Mercedes Benz. He said I would not have to pay anything. He said I would need to insure it before they bring it because they don't want to have any concerns about them touching the money. He wanted me to open a new checking account to pay the $1500. He had my name, new address. phone number and my age: 65. He said their head office phone number is 816-542-5440. He gave me a confidential code which I was not to share: "We give it to you so you know it's us". He called back, and left a message "Hello, this is Billy Bradshaw, are you there?"

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%.
