Ms. Kelly Williams called notifying me that I have won $1.5 million dollars and my choice of any color Mercedes Benz. I was instructed to not tell anyone. I was given a phone number to call the following day at 9:00 pm to they know that I am healthy, eating right and okay. I was asked to pay $510 for the vehicle tax. They have called me multiple times per day seeking bank information and personal information. She said they were Publisher's Clearing House and that the Mercedes will be delivered on a flat-bed truck.

Called and stated I applied recently. 2nd place finisher, won 2.5 million dollars. Wanted money private or on TV. don't tell anyone about this call. Go to bank and get $755.89, which was my fee. Agencies have been contacted, Federal Government have been contacted about paying taxes on this money. Publisher's Clearing will come to my house and bring a new Range Rover, will drive me to the banks to cash the check. Publisher's Clearing House will call me back on 3rd or 4th to set everything up.

A caller claimed to be from Publisher's Clearing House. He had an accent. He wanted me to go to Western Union and send money to his "IRS contact" before the prize team showed up at my door in 45 minutes. I won 1.2 million dollars and a Mercedes! I only needed an ID and a check to cover part of the taxes. When I told him I didn't have 255 dollars, he said "how much do you have?" When I questioned why his phone number was blocked, he had an answer and gave me a number it started with 775. He called me "Sweetheart." He said, "No one is trying to grab you between the legs or pull your leg." He was very persistent and had an answer for everything. I fear that an elderly or compromised person would absolutely fall for this scam. I was on the phone for 17 minutes before I hung up. He was not going to stop trying to convince me. I wish I could tell you who it was. He name checked the CEO of Publisher's Clearing house. He claimed he would give me a better deal even if it got him fired. I hope you shut these ruthless liars down.

Asked what bank I would be using to deposit my winnings.

David Sawyer called stating that I won 2.6 million dollars plus a Chrysler red convertible. He asked me to pay $699.00 for shipping and handling, and that Mary Wilson will come by and deliver the check to me. He provided me a confirmation number and asked me to pay either by a money gram or take money directly from my checking account. I could tell it wasn't really PCH because I could hear a kid in the background. I asked him about it and he said that no, that someone is working on a machine.

They said they are the Publishers Clearing House and that I won $755,000.00 and all I needed to do was pay $199.00 for the taxes. They sent me a package code and a conformation code, then they told me the check didn't have the Golden Eagle seal and I needed to send them $1,800.00 to have the seal put on the check. I paid the $199.00 but then I realized it was a scam when they asked me for more money. They told me to send the 1,800.00 to Westmoreland, Jamaica to a lady named Paulette Brown.

The man claiming to be David A. Clarke, (with a very foreign accent), stated that he was from publisher's clearing house and that I was a second place winner, of $5,000,000 plus a new Mercedes. I was very skeptical and gave them, actually two different men passing the phone back and forth, a really hard time about scamming people. They both claimed to be Christians, one a deacon, and would not do a horrible thing like that. They asked personal questions, and started in on their bit about how you have to pay the government taxes up front. I didn't believe them from the beginning. So I went to the PCH website. They described this very scam in detail. I did not give a bank account #, or any information that they could use to hack my account. Do I need to worry?

I got a call from David Rogers 815-692-9808 who told me I had won 475,000.00 and a 2016 Mercedes from Publishers Clearing House. The car was currently in Waco but could be delivered to Amarillo within the hour. I was to go to Walmart or CVS while staying on the phone with David so he could tell me where to send 495.32 for tax so I could get my prizes this afternoon. I decided to check with the ScamPulse.com and found that this was a scam because PCH does not ask for money before awarding prizes. I will have no further contact with these scammers.

I received a letter and check saying that I had won 2.5 million in the Publisher's Clearing House. The check was written on an account from Gardenia Enterprise in Tampa, FL in the amount of $5940 to pay for attorney and insurance fees. This came in a plain white envelope from NY, not a certified or express letter. I was told to keep this confidential and not share the information with others. The phone number came out of Toronto, CN - 905-616-5541 and I was told to call the number before depositing the check.

We just received a phone call from someone claiming they are from the Publishers’ Clearing House and we won this month’s drawing. It turned out to be a scam. First, they ask for your name and address, then they send you to a local Western Union where you have to pay $499 to claim the prize of $5,000 a week for life plus a 2016 Cadillac. They will also ask for the name of your bank and what city it is located in. When I refused to give them this information, he asked me how long it takes to get to our bank. This gives them time to do a search of all the banks within that radius and narrow down the location of your bank.

First one man, calling himself David Richard will call you to tell you that you won, give you a confirmation # and tells you to call George Lopez at 1-876-510-6605 in the next 5 minutes to claim your prize. The “George Lopez” you call claims to be the manager of PCH.

This is a scam. So glad we didn’t give them any of our information.

Please pass this along to our viewers so no one else gets scammed
