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 scammer called claiming to be Publisher's Clearing House, claiming I won 208 million dollars AND a vehicle, but I needed to withdraw $500 cash and go to a Walgreen's to Western Union it to them. Or deposit it in Phillip Jordan's account, account #***-**-***6. I declined, and they hung up.

I received a call from a gentleman with a very heavy accent stating that he was with PCH, working through the BBB and I had won 1.8 million dollars and a new car. I was told to wire $325 dollars for processing fees. I told him I would not wire it but would mail it to him. I was told to mail it overnight. I was also given the names of Robert Hall, Michael Washington, and Michael Peterson.

David King was the name of the representative. Wanted me to get a green dot in the amount of 500.00 and said he did a backqround check on me & said I could get 2,000.00. Wanted me to stay on the phone with him to get the green dot card & they were going to deliver me 2.6 million along with a Mercedez. Asked me if I wanted to meet at my residence, airport or police station. Also wanted to know if I wanted to receive the winnings privately or publicly, if publicly they would bring the paparazzi along with cameras to take pictures to post publicly. Seemed to want to lure me out of the house.

- Monroe, UT, USA

I received a phone call stating I was the lucky winner of a 6 month contest sponsored by Publisher's Clearing House. I would be awarded a cashier's check for 2 1/2 million dollars and a Jeep to drive for a month for free. He asked a lot of questions about our address and began telling us the need to pay for the UPS delivery of the check. I called PCH on the cell phone while my wife listened to his story and was told that they would never make a call like that. I told him I new he was a crook and hung up on him. We did not give any financial information or Social Security information. He was really quite smooth and really wanted us to believe his scheme.

This animal AKA "Cora Brown" called my gran's phone and got me instead. I strung him along for about 15 minutes pretending to be her to get as much info from him as I could. He told me that I'd won the publishers clearing house sweepstakes and that the check would be delivered on Monday as long as I mailed him a money order for nearly $400 first. He requested I call him back once I had the cash and was at the post office so that he could tell me his name and address. I told him I could just write it down so I wasn't rude by calling when I got to the post office. He then proceeded to coach me through every step he wanted done and cuss me out when I told him he'd forgotten a step: report him.

First the caller asked if I could hear him and I said yes. He then proceeded to tell me he was from publishers clearing house and I had won 40,000 dollars and a Mercedes Benz. He said to write down the check number and call a number and ask for Robert Miller at ext. 5 to find out if the check wasn't a fraud. When I didn't call the number back he called me again and that's when I informed him that this is a scam and he hung up.

On April 11, 2018 at 9:28 AM I received a phone call from David Brown (876-357-4212) who stated he was from Publisher's Clearing House and I won 3 1/2 million dollars and a 2018 Mercedes Benz. I was instructed to purchase 2 money orders from either Walgreens, or CVS or Walmart for $400 & $320 (total $720). I was to send the money orders to: Winston Daniels, 5100 Spruce St, Philadelphia, PA 19139 & David gave me

a call back number 876-392-7588. I did not return the call and reported those numbers to the FTC.

Received a call from someone with a restricted phone number stating that they were from Publisher's Clearing House and that I had won 960,000 and a Mercedes. They said I only had to pay 1% of the 960,000 to claim my prize. They asked for credit card number or bank account information. When I wouldn't give it to them, they hung up.

I received a call this morning at 9:52 AM from PCH stating I won 12 million dollars. I spoke to a man who stated I had to pay a fee of $550 for the delivery. They would deliver it to our house today and I should have the check ready. I told him I was not interested because there was a delivery charge and hung up.

I hadn't entered Publisher's Clearinghouse for ten years, then 2 months ago I entered. Then today, I got a message saying I had won 2.3 million dollars in a certified cashier's check, cash award of $155,000 in a black briefcase, in hundred and fifties, Walmart VISA gift services card $5000 exp 2023 so I don't have to spend it all at once in the Publisher's Clearinghouse monthly drawing. I called the number back 876-570-5978. He said the money would be delivered to my house. Then I would be escorted to that bank of my choice.

They called back the next day and told me I had won money and a Mercedes Benz. I needed to pay 1% of the winnings so they could put a sticker on the voucher to show that I already paid so Homeland Security wouldn't think I was money laundering. I wouldn't answer yes to anything and that annoyed him. He asked why I wasn't saying yes. I asked if I was close to Walmart. He said Sir, I am being honest with you, I am recording this conversation. I said I am also recording this conversation and have a with a Deputy with me. 

This caller seemed very knowledgeable. I asked why their phone number came up Jamaica, and he said Jamaica, NY.

He said was from the Publishers Clearing House and I won $950,000 and a car. Gave me a pick up number and told me I would have to pay $1500.00 to them through Walmart, CVS, or Target.

I'm 84 years old. I got a phone call from Publishers Clearinghouse/Joseph Peterson 876-449-9843. He gave me his badge number. He said I had won $2.5 million and a Jeep Wrangler. He asked if I used to order from PCH. He said they took all the numbers from the past, and drew from them, and I won the lucky number. He made me promise I wouldn't tell anyone. He said he would come with an FBI agent. He wanted me to send $2500. I told him I was sick. He said mail it. He kept calling me "mom". he asked if I lived alone. He asked if I was a widow or married. He asked what was the biggest amount of money I ever got. I said $10,000 from when my husband died. He said then you have money in the bank. Then he asked if I could write a check. He said the good Lord had laid a blessing on both of us because I'd won the money, and he would get to give it to me. He called back at lunch to ask what I had eaten, and was I getting enough to eat. He called back at supper time to ask if I had gotten my supper, and to make sure I was eating. I could hear kids in the background, he said he was staying at the Holiday Inn Dublin, OH. He said they would pay all the taxes. He said I would have to pay the IRS and to send it to Jesse Guillory, 3325 Jackson Ave Kansas City, MO 61428-2125. I called him back the next day and said I prayed about it and didn't want to handle that kind of money. He said mad and said maybe I didn't need the money at my age. He said you promised me. I gave him my testimony and explained heaven and hell to him. He said 10 or 15 years ago he didn't take vengeance against a thief. He said he works on Sunday so he can't get to church. I told him I don't have long and I will look for him in heaven. He hung up. Then he called right back and asked if I was putting the check in the mail, and I said I told you I'm not putting the check in the mail.
