I received a phone call today from Michael Mason with Publisher's Clearing House. His ID number is 75709PD. He said I won $5.5 million and a 2022 sky blue Mercedes Benz. He told me to go to the closest store, either Walmart, Kroger, Rite Aid, CVS or Family Dollar. He said once I got there to call him at 740-449-8563 and I would upload to my card $955 to pay the state regulation fee 588319773EL. He asked for 3 forms of ID from me, driver's license, utility bill, and proof of bank account. He said he was a Christian and he would not lie to me. He told me the Lord had blessed me. He was foreign and had a Middle Eastern accent. He's called back 11 times, but I am not answering.

I've been receiving calls from Publisher's Clearing House, two men who did not sound foreign. One called himself Frank. I had won $2.5 million and a Mercedes Benz in the color of my choice. He asked for an $800 insurance fee. He told me I could pay with a bank account or a gift card. He said I could purchase the gift card from Walgreens or CVS. He said something about blessings from God. I knew I did not have to pay to win a prize. They wanted to send the money to my bank account so I could pay the fees.

Call from Publisher's Clearing House, saying my check is at Bank of America. He said I had won $.5 million and a Mercedes Benz. He said it would be delivered on Thursday if I paid the revenue insurance money to pay the taxes. He is asking for $1255. He had an accent. He said my prayers had been answered, and that he was a man of God. When he gave me a ticket number, I knew it wasn't right, as I hadn't played anything.

Publishers clearing House cause my brother to commit suicide because the people he was dealing with or from Nigeria and hooked him And scammed him and made him think he was profiting while paying out also and put him in such a bind and he lost his child from it from Debt and constant contacts with him and wouldn’t leave him alone,eventually. He was in denial that the company was just a scam and he couldn’t sit free of them. And I’m sure this is happening to many others as I continue to see publishing clearinghouse everywhere and I saw it today in my emails under some ad company and living social in Chattanooga is where I saw it primarily

A year and half ago we got a call telling us that we had won the publisher's clearing house sweepstakes. We had to pay them out periodically for the IRS so that we wouldn't have to pay them. We had to pay for storage for the things that we won. They said that we won a car and other items.

When I checked my messages and I had a message to call PCH back. A foreign man named Michael Smith stated that I won $7,000 weekly. He had me verify my checking account number. They said that PCH would meet me at Huntington this morning. I gave them my cell phone number and they were not there. He wanted me to go into the bank and say nothing to anyone. He wanted me to fill out 2 wire transfer forms. The women at the bank let me know that it was a scam.

I keep receiving calls from Publisher's Clearing House saying I've won $2.5 millions and a Mercedes Benz of any color. He says his name is David King who transferred me to Jimmy Richmond - I can hear dogs barking in the background. He asked if I was over 65 years old. He said he was a Christian and my prayers had been answered. He asked if I had a bank account. He gave me a PCH Badge number 109204. He told me to go to Walmart and buy something. He does not have an accent, but usually the callers do. I told him I was calling the police and hung up. But he called me right back.
