Caller said we needed to go Walmart and send $100 to receive a Mercedes Benz and $550,000 (the dollar amount changed in the same call). When we started questioning the caller said that they would kill everyone in our home with C4 explosives as soon as the call was disconnected.

Scammer, Michael Turner, said that I had won over $2 million from Publishers Clearing House and that I would need to get a Western Union money gram or other means of getting $50 to Norma Barnhart in Ashtabula, OH. I did not participate in the scam, but was tempted. I do not believe that you have to pay money to receive money in a contest.

We were contacted by a man with a foreign accent named James Green, saying we had won a million dollars from Publisher's Clearing House. He told us he needed us to pay the taxes first, and it was $356. We told him that sounded funny and that we'd have to check it out. He kept calling, demanding we go to Walmart or CVS to get gift cards to pay the taxes. Said he was coming by the house on two different occasions, but never showed up. He started getting very angry with me and my husband. He said his badge number was 75608 and our claim ID was #4810. I called the local police and the BBB. He answers the phone with "Publisher's Clearing House, this is James Green". He continued to call for several days, but we told him we were not going to give him any money for taxes. We just hang up now when he calls, but he's getting very mad on the phone. His number is 876-465-1629 and he says he is in Northern Alabama.

I was contacted by phone and was told I had won the second prize in the Publisher's Clearing House. My prize was supposed to be a cashier's check in the amount of $950,000 and a Mercedes automobile. However, I was told there were certain taxes and fees that needed to be paid up front before I could receive my delivery. I discovered the phone number I was called from was in Jamaica. Over several months, I sent them various amounts using various methods such as MoneyGram, Western Union and money orders. On occasion, they would set up a time and place they said I would receive my delivery, but if I showed up there, there was always some excuse why it could not be made at that time. I have asked them to stop calling me, but the calls continue.

was contacted by a Robert Green (rep) and Andrew Goldberg (super), telling me i won 1.6 mill and a new Mercedes E-Class car from publisher Clearing House. the following is exactly what they told me to write down-

Company giving me the money -Publisher Clearing House

Representative- Robert Greene

Amount of the winnings- 1.6 million and a Mercedes E-Class car

Claim #- 8615907

Robert's badge- 6361915543US

Check #- 933145PHC

Delivered by- UPS

Call back #- 1876-570-3018

They told me that the money and the Mercedes were tax free, but i would need to pay a registration fee of $1999.99. That UPS was driving over from Walla Walla, Washington, and that I need to register at a Walgreens before they arrived at my house.

The voices were computerized/digital sounding, I could hear background noise of other people making calls

They would not accept the fact that I did not have the money or a way to get it. It kept looping with "there is noway you can get the money today?" and "hello publishers clearing house, who am I talking to?"

At one point, the call dropped and I called them back.

Kept trying to reassure me that this was not a scam, the phone call was legit.

Caller with accent going by the name of Spencer, claims that you have won a 2017 Mercedes and $4.55 million from a coupon you filled out with Publisher's Clearing House. Wants you to go to the nearest Western Union and send $300 to cover taxes. He will call incessantly over and over and even get very nasty using the "F" word on the phone when you doubt him. He will continue calling until you block him if possible.
