I received a call on my cell phone today. The caller stated he was James Peterson with Publishers Clearing House. He had an accent.Said I won $3.5 million & Lincoln Navigator. Wanted me to send approximately $600 claim fee. Instructed me to go to WalMart and send thru MoneyGram. Wanted me to call them right before I left at. 870-277-2994. They would give further instructions once I got to Walmart. I told them I did not have $600. I told them all I had was $50. They asked me if I had a checking or savings account. He told me they are not one of those places that try to trick you out of money. I thought this was a scam from the beginning. Reporting the call. I did not send any money or give any personal information.

He asked if I was familiar with publisher clearing house. I replied yes. He than asked if I remember completing and sending in the sweepstakes last year. I replied no. He asked the question again and again I replied no. He then hung up. I called his back and asked if this was legal why did he hang up. He ask again about PCH and I asked again why did he hang up. He cursed and hung up the phone.

I received a call to my cell phone. The caller stated they were with Publishers Clearing House Lottery company. address 101 Winners Circle. Fort Washington Drive. New York. Callers name is Mr. Johnson. He stated I won $ 1.5 million. Two marshals would be at my house today at 4:00 PM to deliver the check. Wanted me to go to nearest Wal Mart. The registration fee is $399. He said there would be additional fees. So I would not be busted for money laundering. Something stupid like that. He had a winning ticket number. I knew right from the beginning it was a scam. He gave me the phone number 585-360-1631 to call them back. My caller ID showed Jamaica. I am not able to pull the number up. I asked him why he was calling from Jamaica when they are located in New York. He said that's because our numbers are routed for safety purposes He asked me if I wanted winnings to be public or private.

"Michael Anderson" from the "Publishers Clearing House" called to tell me I'd won $10,000 cash, $950,000 in a check, and a blue 2016 BMW. He told me to call 812-470-4743 with confirmation # 7604-7461-04. He asked for a list of my beneficiaries. When I asked him if he knew where I lived, he responded, "Of course". He lost interest when I told him I wasn't home. The call then ended.

My friend's Facebook had had messaged me that she'd won $100,000 and more from Publishers Clearing House (PCH). The phone # 802-368-1312 was listed for me to call Agent David Lawrence of the PCH and Dept. of Health Human Services to claim my winnings of $100,000. When I called that number, Mr. Lawrence told me that I had to pay $1350 and give him all my personal identity information, in order for me to claim my prize. I told him I didn't have any money and I wouldn't give him my identity information. He told me I should ask people to loan me the $1350, so I could collect my great winnings. I told him no one would loan me that kind of money. He hung up. I messaged my friend on Facebook who had the big winnings and asked if she could loan me the money. She told me she couldn't, but that she hoped I could find it somewhere. I think my friend's Facebook account got hacked and this is all a scam.

I received a call this morning from a gentleman asking if I was home? Had I checked my mail this morning for notification of winning the Publishers Clearing House $2.5Million prize? I foolishly told him I wasn't home (however I have neighbors watching the house for me) The caller informed me I needed to contact -- Joe Carter at 1-876-0653 to arrange delivery of the registration for me to receive the $2.5Million check. I would then need to go to the local WalMart and confirm the registration, along with the men who will be delivering the check, and they would receive 2% of the $2.5Million once we take the registration slip & the $2.5Million check to my bank.

I told him I've never heard of the winnings being handled this way. He said it was because of the "new government" that they had to take the 2.5% once I put the check in my bank.

I gave them no personal information, no bank name or account number. I did however, give the man on the phone an alternative address so the Publishers Clearing House people could deliver the check to my work address. He said they would go with me to my bank, after we go to WalMart.

I believe this was a scam.

I keep receiving mail from a 'Publishers Clearing House' claiming that I have been selected as a winner in the '100 Million Dollars Super Cash Giveaway Promotion'. The letter came with a check written in my name to the amount of $7,897.00 They instruct you to call a number on the letter before depositing the check. This is a scam!

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.
