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.

Phone call to 90 year old woman. Identified himself as Dave Sawyer from Publishers Clearing House. Said I had won $2,500,000 and all I had to do was send $1400 to claim the prize, which would be delivered later that day by check/fed express. She was extremely excited to learn she had won the big prize since she had been entering the contest for five years. She almost paid, but was advised it was a scam after she consulted with a family member.

Mr. Everton Johnson from Kingston Jamaica,WI He contacted me saying I had won the Publishers Clearing House but I needed to pay $500.00 I told him I didn't have 500. So I told him all I had was a hundred and he told me to just 80.00 because it was going to cost close to 20 to send it.

A man called Luciano Espitia continued to call my 83 year old father, stating that he had won money from Publishers Clearing House. But, my Dad had to send him express mail $400. He stated that my dad won $45,000 and that a lady named Lisa Miller would come by the house. He would have to have a receipt that shows he had sent the money, then she would give him the check for $17,030.30 from Wells Fargo and that my Dad would receive the rest in payments of $300 a month for the rest of his life. The check was to be mailed to: 2116 S. Concho St., Coleman, Texas 76834.

When I got home, the man called again, I told him to stop calling, but he continued 2 more times. He wanted my dad (who has lung cancer) to walk to the post office and send the check. I told him continually to stop calling. Finally, he got the message, but I brought my Dad's phone to work with me, just in case, he called again.

My Dad had an envelope made out to this jerk and was ready to send him this money, until I explained it was a scam.

I was told I won the Publishers Clearing House Lottery. He was an hour away with a check and asked if I wanted them to bring it to me. They then mentioned a sweepstakes and when I asked if they knew how a sweepstakes work they told me to [censored] off and called me names then hung up. Then within a few minutes, they called again and asked me the same line they did initially, I called them out and said I would report their number and they hung up.

Called several times to say I had won 2.5 million dollars plus a 2018 Class C Mercedes Benz automobile. Wanted me to open an email that they sent, after trying to convince me it was a legitimate call and email. My daughter was able to determine that it was a scam.

He call saying I won 15 million a new car and a truck load of furniture. But I need to open a bank account so they can send sponsor check to help pay the taxes off the money I won. They wanted to send me check and I cash it then send to the tax people. I got text messages and receive phone calls from four different numbers. I knew it had to be a scam because if you win anything from publisher clearing house u don’t have to do any of the things he wanted me to do
