I got a call from a man, Peter Anderson, the general Manager of the unclaimed funds division of Publisher's Clearinghouse in Hempstead, NY. he said I won 2.5 million and a 2019 Mercedes Benz. He said the ScamPulse.com was monitoring the call. he said if I called the BBB they could give me his phone number to call back. He almost sounded like a machine, like a computer generated voice.

The fist caller stated I won the Publishers Clearing House$ 2.5 million and a Mercedes Benz. Free auto insurance for a year from Geico. Also won a gas card. Free gas up to a year. I would receive $5000 a week for life. I could give $5000 a week to someone else. They asked me for $480 upfront fee. To receive the cashiers check. Wanted by to send the money by Walmart money gram. He tried to get my bank account number. I did not give it out. I knew the entire time it was a scam. When he asked for money I knew right then and there it was a scam. I thought it was strange that they had American names with foreign accents. David Peterson gave me their phone number 562-317-1508 X05. I called the number. He answered the phone. Said I could check with the ScamPulse.com. An FBI agent was with him and a Treasury Agent. I gave the phone to my husband, They hung up. I had said I don't have that kind of money . $480.

I have been receiving calls on my cell phone. Quite a few calls. It has been going on for a while. I wanted to report the calls. Caller gives the name Publishers Clearing House. Callers name is Scott Myers. He gave me a number to call 360-295-6462. I did not call the number. He states I won $7 million and an Audi car. He asked at first for $250. A fee I had to pay to receive my prizes. It was not for taxes. He asked if I had the money. He said I am going to get you a sponsor and send me the money. I then send it to them. I played along. I knew it was a scam. He told me he called the ScamPulse.com and the Treasury to confirm the prizes. He gave me password ginger. I do not recall what appeared in my caller ID. I did not send money or give any personal information.

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.

I got a call from someone named Betty Parker who said she was with Publisher's Clearinghouse. She said I won $500,000 and they would come to my house and deliver it with a certified check. She said the code would be 1123 VP and I wouldn't owe them any money. Betty said she would call me back within the hour. About 2 hours later I called her because I hadn't received a call. The line said it was a text line so anything I said would show up as a text message. I figured it was probably a scam then but called my bank who said to call BBB. ScamPulse.com confirmed that it was a scam.

I have been receiving calls on my landline. The caller claims to be with Publishers Clearing House. The phone number in my caller ID is 876-585-8766. It shows on my TV. He states I won a Publishers Clearing House Prize of $25,000. He wanted me pay $100 to collect the prize. He did not say how he wanted the money. I realized it was a scam when he wanted the $100. I should not have to pay a fee to win a prize. The prize should be mine. I sent no money. I have had calls from Publishers Clearing House before. I know better. I am not going to fall for it.

A man named Robert Anderson called me and said I won 8.3 million dollars and $50,000 a month for life. He asked me if I had ever won a prize and I said no and started laughing. He got irritated with me when I laughed and said he wasn't a scam. I hung up afterwards. He called me back and asked why I hung up on him and sounded very mad. I figured a man who's giving away winnings wouldn't sound like that so I hung up on him again. He called me back but this time I just let my machine get it and called the BBB.

I received a phone call today from a man with a foreign accent, that claimed I had won the Publishers Clearing House prize of 6 million dollars and a new 2018 Ford Explorer – but, to collect my prize, I needed to first send 1% of the prizes 'tax fee' (which he claimed was $599.00) before I could collect my Winnings.

I knew it was a Scam, but played along and told him to call back later so I could discuss it with my husband.

I did not give him any personal info except my name, nor did I send him any money.

Please stop these people before they scam money from unsuspecting good people.
