The letter stated that I was a second place winner in the 100 Million Dollars Super Cash Giveaway Promotion sponsored by Readers Digest, Mega Millions and Multi-State Lottery Association. The total amount to be claimed by me was $2,500,000.00 ($2.5 Million).
The check enclosed is to cover insurance and attorney fees.
Instructions in the letter were for me to call the telephone number 416-451-3812 and to refer to Security Code: PCH/186723. This was to be done before depositing the check.
I called the number on April 12 and Claims Manager Steve Velda spoke with me. He assured me that this was a call from Publishers Clearing House. When I asked about VIN Distributors, Readers Digest, etc. he said they were sponsors of the promotion. He asked for the check number (158331) and said that I should deposit the check and call this number back when that had been done.
After searching the internet for scams from Publishers Clearing House, I felt sure that this was one.
I did not deposit the check, but called back on April 13 and was again speaking with Steve Velda. I told him that I had deposited the check (which was not true) and asked what I was to do next. He said that the Prize Patrol would deliver a check to me at my home on Monday, April 17, between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. I asked how the $2.5 million would be delivered and when. He said that there would be checks in the amount of $9,750,00 and they would be sent over a 2 year period until the total was paid out. He went on to say that I would need to have a check in the amount of $4,300.00 to cover insurance. I asked what was being insured and he said the certified check was being insured. I said I had never heard of such a thing. He said that was what the check was for that was included in my letter and the balance would be mine. I then asked who to make the payment to and he said I would need to call back to get a code to send the check. I said I had never heard of Publishers Clearing House calling winners before the Prize Patrol arrived at their door. At this point, he hung up on me!
I tried calling back 3 more times during the afternoon and each time I got a recording saying the call was being sent to a voice mail service which had not been activated; therefore I could not leave a message.

To claim I must send them my Full Name, Street Address, Occupation, Sex, Age, Phone Number, State, City, Country, email address, and verify that I have not won before.
I assume it to be a scam, because it came to my email address, yet they want me to provide my email address in my response.
I have not responded.
