Publishers Clearing House Reports & Reviews (1687)

I was called and told I had won the Publisher's Clearing House award based on a "coupon" I sent in last January. I was very cautious and after much questioning, I was told I should go to get a "moneygram" at Maria's (he didn't give me the address, supposedly in Knoxville, and said the delivery team was 1 hour away, but I would need to verify my account for the money to be deposited. I gave the phone to my husband and he asked for a phone number to call Bruce Goldman, the name given me at the beginning of the call, and we would call to verify at Publisher's Clearing house then return his call. He said he would do that, then hung up.

I had returned the above phone number earlier and received a message that he would "return my call" and Have a Blessed Day.

I would like this investigated to save some person who might fall for this Scam.

Thanks

Received a phone call from a man claiming to be with Publisher's clearinghouse. Told me I won 1 million dollars, but to claim my check I needed to draft a check for $500 out of my account. They gave me an account number, a PIN code and a number to call about my winnings. They informed me the number they provided would connect me with an automated answering service.

Receive a called from a man that said his name was John Baker phone #876.460.3519 Jamaica

John said he had a delivery from Publisher Clearing house that I had won 950.000 and a 2016 Mercedes Benz and they would be delivering it to my house, but I needed to go to Walmart and buy a money gram and give them the registration number in order to receive the prize. The money gram would have to amount to $950.00. The other name that they claim to be was Todd Stone. i implied that I would call ScamPulse.com to see if they were legitimate and they hung the phone up.

Stated he was with Publisher Clearinghouse I had won 2.2 Million and BMW. Called back spoke with woman who asked how close i was to Walgreens told her 10 miles and then she hung up on me.

Called me out of the blue and advised that I won 1.5 million, $50k bonus, cherry red 2016 Mercedes. All I had to do was go to Western Union and pay shipping and handling. $356.92

Money was to made out to Anthony S*** or Punta Gorda, FL

Scam artist called me saying I won a quarter of a million dollars and a car. He wanted me to go to Kroger or Walmart and get a prepaid debit card right now. He said they will be at my house in 45 minutes. I asked him if he's bringing me the money and car, he can take me to Walmart or Kroger.

*** *** wanted me to get a money transfer and put it in *** *** name, Greenville, SC, Wal-Mart to Wal-Mart transaction.

The caller said his name was David Johnson and I won 2.5m and Mercedes Benz from PCH. He also put his manager on the line and his name was John White his ext :25 ID 933145 check no 5058500127. He asked me to get a Walmart to Walmart sender form for $299 and send it to Betty Onellion. All this time he did not want me to disconnect. After I made the transaction, I called PCH and found out it was a scam. So rushed back to Walmart and cancelled it. He called back and left a message that he has my credit card info. I am worried he knows my address.

Phone call from the number above stated they were from Publishers Clearing House and that they were about to award me a cashier check for 9.5 Million Dollars. They told me that I needed to go to Walgreens, Bank of America, or Dollar General to pay for insurance on the dollar amount before the prize was delivered to my home and that they were in the State and going to be delivering the prize in 45 minutes. Spoke with local Walgreens and they said several other people had been in and told to wire money for insurance and that it was a scam.

Received a phone call to meet at Walmart then to meet at the home then they wanted us to pay 385 cash for it to go threw stated they would be with state officials we got on line and looked up publisher clearing house they stated they do not get ahold of you by phone and no money out of pocket was required also did a reverse look up of the number and says it is a scam from Jamaica

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing house stating I won $960,00 and a Mercedes. Her name was Victoria Golden. I was not home at the time so they are to deliver prize tomorrow, Nov 1, 2016. She did not ask for payment for prize. She said I would have to give 2 forms of identification to their lawyer, David Brown. I have not done this nor have I seen David Brown. I was not asked for bank, credit card, or SS information. I was given a batch # 1985, conf# 392178, ck # 0098275300, pkg# B224. They called and I hung up, then they called back and my husband answered. He was asked why I hung up and he told them I thought it was a scam. Ms. Golden assured him that it was not a scam and gave me the information above in order to process the prize. I guess I well have some charge to my phone bill.

Publishes clearing house told me that I won, I just had to send them money.

I received a call stating it was Publisher's Clearing House and I just won 1 million dollars and a Mercedes. They said it could be delivered within 2 hrs. They started asking me personal questions such as do I work. I told him I would not answer these questions. They then asked me for $425 and do I have that amount in cash at home or do I need to go to the bank. I told them I would need to go to the bank and they asked how long that would take. I told them 20 minutes, they said they would have to be on the phone with me this entire time due to Lawyers and legal issues. They said the money would be sent to an offshore account. I told them I was not interested and said his was a scam and hung up.

The man said his name was mark Auscin and lives in Jamaica.

David King called and stated that I won 950.000.00 The team will come out to my house and give me prize. I need to go Wal Mart to registered. Need to give him a call back to be able to stay in contact with him.

- Portland, OR, USA

unknow caller said I was winner of grand prize of 900.000 approx. in cash 5,000 every month for life. asked to send 1% of taxes and go to the local meyer store. the gentleman would guide me through the process. kept on hold and contacted ScamPulse.com and received info. that this was a scam

I was contacted by Publishers Clearing House saying that I won $70,000,000 and a brand new car, and that I needed to send them money in order to get this. Their reason for this was because they stated that there was tax that I owed them, which I was not aware of. This was a red flag for me because I felt that if they needed to take out any taxes, they would take it out of the amount of money that I won.

Received a phone call from the above number telling me I have won some money and would I be interested in receiving it. I told them no because PCH does all their contact in person. They asked for by email address. I told them that if they were PCH they had it. The man asked me to repeat 3 times that I did not want it and it could go to someone else. I told him that I did not have to repeat anything 3 times. He hung up.

a man called my workplace and state that I have won publisher sweepstake in the amount of 950,000 dollars and he gave me an ext. 70 and a prize number 50569us and he said I had to go to Wal-Mart and get register for the prize in NC and asked him to email me the information and he hung up on me. After I had called on my cellphone.
