My wife and I received a call that popped up as Kingston, JM. The caller said his name was Franklin Myers and he was with Publishers Clearinghouse. He said we won $2.5 million and would just have to send $800 from a Walmart to Dallas. We told him we didn't have $800 to send and he said he would try to get some sponsors to reduce the price. When we heard that we would have to send money we called the ScamPulse.com who said we'd never have to send money to win money and PCH never calls to inform people about winning.

I was contacted on my cell phone by Mr. David Sawyers, badge # DS445, from Publisher Clearing House telling me that I had won 3.5 million dollars and a 2018 sky blue Mercedes. He said that Mary Lee would be the accountant and that my prize # is 48398632. The confirmation #09331457E5M and asked if I would like private or public delivery. He told me I would need to go to the nearest Wal-mart to get a refundable $510 money order and send it to them. They said they would fill out a T19 form. I questioned them and asked if they could confirm that they were truly from Publishers Clearing House and they gave me the number 1-803-486-2385 to speak with their manager Stanley Goldberg. I called that number and talked to him and he insisted I send the $510 so I just hung up.

A man calling himself Peter Anderson, quoting scriptures, told me I had won the Publisher's Clearinghouse.He said I just needed to pay 1% of my winnings, $1299.63. He swore on his mother's grave that he was telling the truth, and no way he would lie to me. He said he had sponsors who would meet me in public to give me a receipt for the 1%. He said if I didn't have the money for the 1% he could send it to me. I said "Lord convict this man". He asked my age and if I had a spouse. When I said no, he said how much he would love to meet a nice woman. He asked if I would like to be notified in public or secretly. He told me not to tell anyone so it would be a secret. He said I could make my sister my beneficiary. He was foreign. He gave me a package number 89950US. I do believe in praying for miracles, but this isn't it.

I received a phone call after 12:00pm on 6/12/18 and was told I won the Publisher Clearing House prize of $4.5 million and a new Mercedes car. I was asked to send $450.00 cash right away in order to get the award. I sent it through Western Union. Later that day I received another phone call and I was asked to send additional $1,250.00 cash. When I refused to send the balance of the cash until the vehicle was in my driveway. He agreed that by sending $600.00, the balance could be paid for after delivery at 10:00am on 6/13/18. I accused him of being a scam as I was not anxious to send more money. The person I spoke with called me on both my house phone and my mobile. We spoke several times throughout the afternoon, as the person was checking the process of sending the money and then asking for more.

*** *** badge number 811616-DG called to tell me I had won 2.5 million dollars. I also won a car. They would be here at 3 PM to award my prize and all I needed to pay was the 1% of the taxes. They were paying 99% of the taxes. I just needed to call *** to get the remaining paperwork finished and pay the $1012.62.

I recd a call from PCH this afternoon at 2:10 PM from a claim agent, Michael Anderson, who said congratulations you won 8 million dollars from PCH. He gave me some numbers for the tax form and all I was responsible for was $350. I was to go to Walmart and get a money transfer & I was to send it to Richard Villaran at 1115 Twilight St, Placentia, CA 92870. I knew it was a scam.

On April 22, 2018 I filed the below scam complaint. When I received my May 2018 phone bill there were two international charges on it.

4/22 11:44A 876-554-0466 Kingston JM - $1.99

4/22 11:53A 876-554-0466 Kingston JM - $7.96

I called Verizon and they gave me a credit on my next bill. That was very nice of Verizon. These charges were due to the below scam.

I received a phone call from a man. Caller ID was unknown number. He said that his name was James Bailey badge #1962. He stated that I was 1 or 200 Texans that had been chosen to receive an $800,000.00 check from the Publishing Clearing House. He asked me how I felt to win the money. I told him that I believed this was a scam. He told me that they were an "A" rated business with the ScamPulse.com. He gave me a conformation number. Then told me to call John Williams ph# 1-876-554-0466 to claim my money. I called the number and looked up scams on the ScamPulse.com website. As I started talking to John Williams he wanted my name and want me to spell it to him. I didn't give my name to him. I told him that it he was who he was saying he was, he would already have all my info. I also told him that I was logged into the ScamPulse.com website and there are complains about this scam. At that time he hung up on me.

The person was so very convincing, and called me from the following numbers 876-471-8553, primary, 217-727-6361, 909-487-0742. I asked for an itimized list of where the fees were applied, his employee information, and transcript of our call, since he said it was recorded. He claimed to have given me his personal bank account information to build my trust. When I questioned some of his contradictions he shut down, and told me they would then select another "winner". The names on the WU transfers were "Monkay Crewe, Boston, MA", and "Andrew Louizaire, Broklyn, NY". $500 each, and 2 amazon gift cards for $500, but was told they only used one, but both were redeemed.

A Mr. George Kennedy called and told me he was with PCH prize patrol and that I had won 5.8 million, a Mercedes Benz and 300 thousand plus in cash. He said that a TV crew, an IRS agent and the prize patrol would be out to my house this afternoon to deliver the prize. Then he tells me that the company had taken care of 99% of the taxes but I would need to register and pay $499, before they could deliver. I tried to get him to take the money out of the cash he would be delivering but he gave me a song and dance about needing to register by wire and pay at that time before they could deliver.. at this point I was positive this was a scam and didn’t need to do the research on line that I did. PCH will never ask for money and you won’t know you have won until the real prize patrol shows up on your doorstep!

i received a call on my landline today. The phone number in my caller ID is 404-400-3688. The caller stated it was Publishers Clearing. She asked me if I was sitting down. We have some news for you. Stated I won $500,000. Said they would deliver the prize to my home on ?May 23. They would be at my house between 9:00 - 11:00 A. M. I did not know for sure if it was a scam at this point. The more I thought about it I became suspicious. I did call the phone number but the line was busy.

I received a call from this number saying it was the Publishers Clearing House and that I had won a major prize. They said a few million dollars and a car. The people who had left me a message and spoke to me were a Michael Anderson and a Jim Kingston. I believe that these names were fake. I called PCH to verify that I had not won any prizes, and they confirmed to me that this was a scam. The message they had left me was asking me to call for further instructions about my winnings.
