My husband got the call today from this person who claimed that we had won $5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz. Of coarse my husband told him he was a scam artist wich he denied. He gave us his cell phone number and his is ID number DS 55600. His name was David Sayers. I also spoke with him and told him I thought that he was a crook

Received phone call from Publishers Clearing House, a man named Ray Charles, who gave me several phone numbers and other identifying information. He sounded very legitimate and professional. He had all winning information and numbers of your winning prize which was a new Mercedes and 2.5 million dollars. He was very convincing. I followed through with everything until the end when he started giving me information to take to Walmart with a request for a fee of 399.00 That’s when I realized it was a scam and hung up on him. I am never fooled by the scammers but this one really sounded legitimate

A man called claiming to be from Publishers Clearinghouse said I won $650,000. He said he'd been trying to reach me since September. He said the IRS would get with me for the taxes.He told me to call 516-568-5190 and ask for Oscar. I called and asked for Oscar, he said he's pretty tied up now, and he could help me. He wants me to fax a picture ID and utility bill to him. He had a foreign accent. I heard a change of voice in the middle of the call. He said to call the legal department at 516-321-1410 and they would tell me what to do.

I received a letter in the postal mail that appeared to be from Publishers Clearing House. It is suspicious looking. The letter stated I won $600,000. Two days ago I had entered a contest from Publishers Clearing House 101 Winners Circle Jericho NY. I filled out a form and returned it. Then I received a mailing with a check enclosed for $7972.55. I am required according to International Sweepstakes by Law to pay towards taxes handling and processing fees. It states to contact your agent for further details. Agent is John Adam 917-382-6208. The letter indicates to keep the award letter strictly confidential until my cash prize winning have been processed. It does not indicate how much I have to pay upfront. My girlfriend told me this was a scam. The check came from McCrorie Carpet One. 547 N OakRidge Dr. Port Angeles WA 98362. It makes no sense a carpet company was on the check. I did not call the phone number. I am reporting the mailing.

I'm 72 years old and my wife is 71. She got a call this morning from Publisher's Clearinghouse saying he won 5.5 mil and a Mercedes Benz, we were told to call a second number so they could deliver it, they wanted to know if someone would be with me, she said my husband, he asked to speak to me, she said he's not available. He asked "Do you remember getting the registration card, would you be able to come to NY to pick up the prize?" we said no. He said we had to register and pay the registration fee. He said to pay with Western Union. At first he said $4395, then he said $300 the call came from Kingston, Jamaica. They answered "This is PCH". The first person who called, said his name was Dave Sayer, and the second said Mike Myers. Dave spoke very slowly to hide his accent, but Mike Myers had a definite Indian accent.

I was at my 90 yr old mother's home, and I got 4 calls today from a guy, James Jeff, and later, James Jefferson, with dogs barking in the background, with a slight foreign accent, said he was with Publishers Clearing House. He said I was a second prize winner, 2.5 million and a Mercedes Benz C Class. He said I have to pay 1% tax which is $18,000. He said they were bringing it today, the Benz was on a flatbed to be delivered. He said they would deposit my winnings into the IRS Board Merchant Account. He said he would never scam me, he was a Man of God. He said there was a reason why he was calling, that my life was about to change. I told him I could not go to the bank. He was very convincing. He said he would escort me to the bank to insure the check was legal. The phone numbers had JM after them. He said he personally would come to the door now. He said if I come to your door, will you shake my hand and apologize to me? He hung up and called back, and said he'd called the IRS Board, adn I only needed to pay $9000 upfront, and $9000 after the check is deposited. I said I don't have it. He had my mom's address. He asked if I wanted to keep it private or have it publicized. I told him to bring it on out, and he could get the fee after I get the check.
