I received a "check" from Publisher's Clearing House in the amount of $8995.75.

Elderly father (age 92) received letter stating he had won $600,000.00. Enclosed was a very real looking "check" for $8,995.75 which letter stated was for "out of pocket" expenses required to pay towards "customs taxes & processing fees". Instructions were to call claims agent mr Martins Webber @ 1-347-985-7419 to discuss "payment arrangements". In another paragraph - instructions were to call claims agent Mr. martins coles. Said to keep award letter "strictly confidential" until winnings had been remitted to "your designated account". Letter signed by "Deborah Holland - Executive Vice President". At first glance, it all appears very official. On second reading spelling on "claims agent" names is a bit suspicious & phrasing is not from an English speaking person. BEWARE if you receive something like this - IT is a scam to get money and/or identity information!!!

I received phone call but did not answer. He said he was Dave Sear from Publishers clearing house and I had won 2,500,000. and a 2018 Mercedes. The call came from Jamaica 876-854-2186 and the number left to call Barack was 516-252-6404. When I called I asked what information I needed to know and he didn't answer me. He said he wasn't going to force me to take the offer. I told him it was a scam and he said you believe it is a hoax. When I said yes he said you have a nice day and hung up.

He said his name was Berry Allen. And that I had won 2nd place in the amount of $1.5 million dollars. And $5000 every two weeks for life and to claim it I needed to go to dollar general and pay $187.00 registerstion fee and then I'd get the money they're every two weeks

I asked or a zip code. He said I dont need one. Then he gave me 11510 Wanted me to send the money same day delivery transfer. I did not send any money. I was not sure it was a scam in the beginning. He also advised me to go to Walmart. I knew it was a scam when they wanted me to wire money. I did not send any money. Sunday they called nine times in five minutes.

Was called by a guy . Said he was with publishers clearing house. I won 2.5 million and a new 2018 Mercedes Benz. I needed to register at Walmart to validate the prize. I sent 150 Walmart to Walmart in Christopher IL. Then told it wouldn't go through. So I was instructed to go pick up money and mail. But it is holiday so they are closed. Finally I had to go to Western Union and send to Reno Nevada. After completion. I was told I was registered my name was on check.. He gave me code to unlock breifcase with cash. Then he called and said they paid 99% over taxes. But I had to pay one percent 750. I said I couldn't come up with that do he dropped to 350. The balance of 400 would come out when case was delivered. I'm expected to get 350 and will be contacted by phone on where to send. Twenty minutes later I will have 2 million in check. 500,000 in cash and new car.

Friend request on Facebook, claiming to be Publishers Clearing House with check for $1 Million & 2017 Mercedes. Left these numbers to call: 810-208-3691 or 810-454-8679 then messaged me pretending to be Howie and asked me to text my full information. I informed them that website admonished NOT to put info out there. Have not heard anymore from them. Knew it was a scam.

My husband plays Publishers Clearing House. We received a call on our house phone. Caller leaves a message that we won $4.7 million. The caller is Michael McQueen. Requested we call back 864-633-5485. I called the number back. Recording stated your party is not available. I left a message and he called back. He wanted me to send $499.99. at Bank America or Wells Fargo. Then he wanted me to to to Western Union. I said I don't do wire transfer. He told me to go to Walgreen's. He kept putting me on hold. Wanted to know if I wanted them to deliver the prize publicly or privately. We know this is a scam.

I received a letter in December, saying I won 1 million. They told me to call the claims agent, Kevin Johnson. Said I would be eligible for a lump sum payment. Do not act on this notice until you contact your claims agent. You must keep this confidential to eliminate fraudulent claims. Signed by Mike Freeman, Marketing Manager.

A man called and said I had one 8,500,000 and they wanted me pay them $799 in taxes. They said they had merged with ScamPulse.com. They actually wanted me to get Attorney and FBI agent and they gave me a number to call him back.

Received a call from a gentleman stating I won the $10Million Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. He asked me to verify my name and wanted to send me some information in the mail and the check. Something didn't sound right so I ended up hanging up on him. He never told me if I owed any money but I assume that's where the call was headed.
