Called by a perso who said her name was ANDREA Goldberg. I was to call another number and then ask to be transferred to ANDREA. I told her we had tickets to a concert and we’re leaving. That night when we got home and in bed she called twice again. The last time I told here if she called again I would call the police and report it as harassment.

I received a phone call saying I won the Publishing Clearing House sweepstakes. His name was John Henderson and he said his ID was 11220. He said I won 5.2 million dollars. That I would receive 5,000 a month every month for the rest of my life. He said I would also receive a brand new Mercedes Benz. But then he said I just needed to send $299 for tax purposes. That they will deliver today if I go to Walmart and get a check. I told him I have been a police officer for years, and that I will call the ScamPulse.com to report them. He told me they are with the ScamPulse.com and provided me a phone number for the ScamPulse.com (1-876-421-1583). I told him that is not the ScamPulse.com's number, and will still be calling them.

Received a letter with Publishers Clearing House logo stating prize winnings of $500,000. The letter included a check in the amount of $5978 to cover "insurance and attorney fees." The check, however was from "Wolach Home Improvements, LLC" supposedly drawn on Town & Country Federal Credit Union, 257 Route 1, Scarborough, ME 04074. We did not deposit the check. Tried to call the number but the recording said it was not set up.

They said I won 5 million dollars, and a car and a bunch of other stuff. However, they requested $499.99 money order or check. Sounds like a scam to me.

A man called me today stating I had won the big money prize from Publisher's Clearing House but I needed to go to Walmart and give them $2500.00 to "register" to receive the prize money today. When I told him that I thought he was trying to scam me, he insisted he was legitimate. This went on for several minutes because I wanted to see how far he would take it. When he realized that I was not going to give him any money he told me to some explicit words and hung up.

The individual call me on September 14, 2018, at about 3:15 PM CDT. He said that he was a Publisher's Clearing House employee named Paul Cooper and that I was a winner of $3.5 million and a BMW X7 Jeep. He gave me a PCH Badge no. of 3178295 and said that my winning package no. is 220204VUS. He further said that a team lead by a Bobby Jenkins would deliver the check to me and that I need a proof of my identification. I was to submit a registration form to PCH in the form of a US$362. Walmart to Walmart transfer. The payee for the transfer was Cloyd Sanford in Tullahoma, TN. The telephone no. that I referenced above is the one I copied from the caller ID on my telephone. The other information is from notes I took during the conversation.

Received a phone call from some one named David Moore (did not speak English very well). He stated that I had won $850,000.00 and a Mercedes. All I needed to do was get a cashiers check for $1800.00 and they would send me my winnings. I told them I would have the money for them and give it to them once they brought the gifts. They kept saying they needed the money first. I asked to talk to a supervisor and they put someone by the name of Bobby Brown on the phone. He kept saying the same thing. I finally hung up the phone. Then they called back 3 other times. My daughter answered the phone and told them not to call again and we were going to report them. Then my daughter called the phone number and it said thT it could be accessed at that time. Then my daughter blocked the number from my phone.

I live in Cantonment,FL. On or about 4:15pm on 9/11/18, a male who sounded to have been of Indian descent called claiming the be from "Publisher's Clearing House". He told me I had won 5.5 million dollars and a 2018 black Mercedes-Benz. Realizing it was a scam, I played along to see were it would go. He asked if I had a bank account. Then he said I needed to file the taxes with the IRS. He also was trying to play on my spiritual side and told me that "this was from God". He ask me to write down his name and woman's name, but I didn't. His last name was "Salom" that's all I remember and I'm sure that's not his name anyway. He then proceeded to tell me to go to Walgreens or Walmart, purchase a money order for $650.00 and send it. I could hear that he had placed the phone on speaker. At that time I let him know that I know what was is trying to do and at that time, he hung up the phone.

I received a call from Publisher's Clearinghouse. They said I entered a contest in 2013 and lost but now I won $950,000. They said I would just have to pay $1,495 to cover IRS fees and to have a Brinx armored truck come from Lubbock to deliver the money. I was told that their bookkeeping location was in FL so my money would be sent to them once I went to a nearby Walmart and sent it over. I didn't catch a name but the people I spoke with sounded Indian. I reported this at the Randall County Sheriff's Dept and with the BBB.

I have entered Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes for decades. I received letter and check for $7800.00 from "Publishers Clearing House." Letter said that was only part of the winnings & not to deposit the check until calling the claims manager. The letter also stated not to discuss the winnings "as required by Federal and State laws... must be kept strictly confidential which means you are precluded from discussing your win with third parties... to reduce the risks of unauthorized access to your claim information." So I called the number. "Larry Rogers," had a non-american accent, told me to deposit the check and call back immediately as soon as I did. That sounded odd so I asked more questions. The more I asked for clarification and justification, "Larry" got more and more aggravated, at which point I realized this was no good. I am 86 years old, but not foolish. I called my son and he got me the information on how to report this scam.
