On my phone texting my friend and I got this message saying I won $200,000.00.  His name was Alex, please call him at 727-247-9858.  Called him immediately wondering how could I have won any money, I didn't purchase anything from Publisher's Clearinghouse.  Alex told me it was my lucky day, all I had to do was send him $400.00 either by purchasing a gift card or itune card.  Within 12 hours I would get my $200,000.00 by Brink Truck, Mercedes Car, he would deliver them personally.  Once he receive my $400.00.  That sound kind of fishy to me, so I call the BBB.

My dad keeps getting calls from someone saying they're with Publisher's Clearinghouse. They said that he won the jackpot of $1 million and a new BMW. They didn't ask him for money but asked him to open up a new banking account at his existing bank.

They wanted to know if I was at work or at home.. And when the time would not work out he said he had to talk to Uncle Sam about meeting me tomorrow there in Madison Wisconsin and this money was going to change my life and he was so happy to congratulate me.

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent who said I had won a cherry red Mercedes and $5.5 million. I told him I played the PCH games years ago so there was no way this was legit. He said information stays in the system for 10 years which is how I won. He didn't say I had to send any money and then said it was all taken care of with the IRS too. Scam!

I received a call on my cellphone from a guy claiming to be with the Publisher's Clearinghouse. He said I had entered with my telephone number and that I was 1 of 149 people selected to win. I was told I had won 1.5 Million dollars and a 2018 Mercedes convertible. I was asked to stay on the phone with him and go to Walmart to pay the $400 processing fee. When I asked the guy where he was calling from he told me New York, New York but his number show's as Jamaica and he had a thick Jamaican accent. I explained to him that I never entered the sweepstakes and hung up. A few minutes later he called my husband's cellphone with the same offer except this time he wanted $500 as the processing fee. He is very convincing. When I said I would need to confer with my daughter he tried to urge me to just surprise her with my winnings and new car and that I should be independent and self reliant.

The scammer pretended to be an agent of Publishers Clearing House. A fake letter was sent along with a request to send $2,000 to receive the prize. The person followed up with an email and several phone calls

She wanted me to pay a fee of $345.38. I questioned her about the fee and requested she send me information that prove they were legitimate. Mary wanted to send me info on my cell phone or computer or fax but I did not have any of those.

So she wanted to meet me at the bank that use and she would meet me there in an hour. She had accent and I could hardly understand her.

A man named Joseph M. Revimeck Jr. called me and told me that I won $500,000 with Publisher's Clearing House. He said I just had to send them $500 as a cashier's check and call him when I sent it. I acted gullible and got his information because I knew it was a scam. It just didn't sound right.
