Report

Received a phone call stating they were Publishers Clearing House and that I had won $25,000. I needed to send $800 for taxes in order to receive the money. I told the gentleman that I did not have $800 to pay so they would have to find a new winner. The gentleman called back a few days later and said they would reduce the fee to $200. Someone is supposed to show up to my door at 1pm today to deliver the money. I did not send any money and called the BBB to find out this is a scam, I should not have to pay money to receive a prize or sweepstake.

PCH is calling asking for $299 for S&H + taxes for $2.5MM (a certified check she can expect to receive). The $299 was to be paid with a Walmart money gram sent to Ozella McCuin. When she purchased the money gram she was to stay on the phone and give William Johnson (on phone), ID# 0755710PCH the details and then he would tell her where/how to send it. They would then deliver the check to the house and "did she want it private or on tv"? She hung up and nothing happened after the phone call.

This guy said his name was Robin Smith when he called back. Answered a lot of questions about my bank, how much money I have they wanted a registration fee Of $2800,Dollars first to get the check.

His phone call was very broken up and then he said he would call me on a better line it was a unknown caller when he called back. When I refused to pay he asked for a charity for it to go to and hung up on me.

Today, I received a call from a man who stated that I won $3 million from Publishers Clearing House. The call was from Kingston, Jamaica and the phone number was from (876)-522-6607. He said that I won this large sum of money, but I needed to send $106 to them for taxes in order to receive this amount of money from them. I knew that it was a scam and I hung up the phone.

I received a call from a man who claims he is from the PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE. He stated that his name is Bill Diamond. His badge# 5264BC. The attorney who's name is Mary Myers is going to come and collect $799. in taxes. Which I need to have today. The taxes are just 1% of the whopping 6.5 Million dollars plus a brand new 2016 Mercedes Benz, convertible no less!!! What a great way to start off my day, and I've only had one cup of coffee!!! Right away I knew it was a SCAM, I have caller ID and it came up Jamaica. Before I answered I thought to myself, "OH WHY NOT, LET'S GET THIS DAY STARTED!!"

A man called stating that I won 7.5 million dollars and a luxury car(pearl white Mercedes). The only way I could recieve it was to pay 100-150 dollars for shipping and handling to get them to ship the check through UPS. When I began the question him, he became agitated and upset, and began to use vulgar language towards me. I informed him that I was aware that this may be a scam, but he was persistent in convincing me that he was local(Jackson, MS) and that I was missing out. After he realized I had caller id and he wasn't receiving any funds, he ended the call by telling me to "f** off and s** his ***. For the sake of others, I hope that this [censored] is caught.

The caller said he was with the driver for the Publishers Clearing house. He told me that I was a second place winner and he was on my street delivering to the first place winner and will be there shortly. He gave me a number to call, and talk to a person named John Diamond, and was to give him my winner ID number within 10 minutes or I would forfeit my prize. I took the info, said thanks and hung up.

The same person call me back about 1 1/2 hours later to see why I hadn't called, when I told him that I dont do scams he hung up.

When I got home from work and told my wife, she said that she also got a call just moments before my call came in from the same number but never answered.

I have also received a call from John Diamond. He knew my last name but didn’t seem to have any other information.
This is a persistent bunch. They called me over 10 times across 2 days and even exchanged text messages.
I won $17.5 M and a 2024 Mercedes.
He kept calling it “publishers and clearing house” though

A Mr. Bob Green called us Sunday evening Feb 12,2017 telling us that because we are US citizens who pay their mortgage and taxes on time have won 4million dollars and a Mercedes Benz,color of your choice. Because of very bad connections, he called back again, told us we needed to call the headquarters of PCH to make arrangements. We called the number and no-one answered. Then at 10:30 p.m. while we were falling asleep he called again, so I dismissed him until the next day. He called Monday afternoon and this time *** spoke with him. ***called the "headquarters" number and spoke with a man who told him we needed to send money...as my husband probed the man with questions and challenged him with facts the amount kept going down. ($1700, $800, $286) The man said to make a Wal-Mart to Wal-Mart transaction to Myrna Palmer of Buffalo,TX. Bill then said we would call back after we spoke with our attorney. We looked info up on-line and found out PCH never does business this way and that over 250 scams were going on in our area. The man called again and *** told him the facts, and the man said of course, the attorney doesn't want you to have the prize....have a nice day. Bob Green had a strange slow way of speaking, my husband says they both sounded foreign...Maybe African. Bob used a term ....are you on board, get on board....expressions seemed unnatural.

Calls and reports that you have won The Publisher's Clearing House and that they will be out within the hour to take photographs. Within the hour, they call back wanting you to pay $250.00 state fees to cover photographs. "You are a big winner and $250.00 is just a drop in the bucket for the amount of money you have won", said Micheal Collins.

I received a call from Publishers Clearing House saying I had won $5,000 per week for life and a new Mercedes. They said I need to go to Walgreens and get a $300 card before they could deliver the prize. I asked if they couldn't just get it when they went to the bank with me to make my deposit and they said no, it has to be paid before delivery.
