- Melrose, MA, USA

I received a letter from Publishers Clearing House telling me that I am a "pending" winner of their sweepstakes. I just need to send them in them final paperwork along with $31.00 to enter. The address on the envelop is 61-43 Springfield Blvd. # 640370, Oakland Garden NY 11364

My wife was called a few minutes ago from a man (David Collis @ 1-876-422-5629, Kingston, Jamaica) with Publishers Clearing House, to tell her that she had won $2.5 million. In order to claim this prize, she needed to wait for him to call her back this evening around 7:00 to 7:30 pm, and answer some questions. I think the whole thing is a scam but we hope it is true. (She has been entering the PCH contest)

A man named David Green called from (876) 569-4132 and said he was a delivery guy from Publishers Clearing House. Confirmed my name and address, and then asked me to call his supervisor - supposed General Manager John Wilson ((876) 895-0597 x 5. This sounded VERY believable. Mr. "Wilson" told me there would be a "Betty Clark" from Publishers there at my house wtih a Lawyer named Mary Miller, and 3 local police officers to deliver my prize money along with a brand new 2016 Mercedes Benz.

He asked me to head straight home and he would stay on the telephone with me. After I got in my car to travel home - it was then he advised I would have to stop at a Western Union to send the tax owed on my winnings ($185.25) to some Indian woman's name.

I certainly then questioned as to why I would be paying taxes on a check I have never received and why wouldn't the check be made payable to the IRS directly or a bank. That's when he started with the run around.

I am very disappointed that I fell for this. Luckily no money was taken from me only time and emotions going up and down.

PLEASE REPORT THESE ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBERS. THANK YOU

When I told him that I did not have that amount he continued to tell me that I had to pay taxes in order to receive the money. He finally said that if I could pay $1200, I could receive the money.

Received phone call at 7:50 AM and it was someone with an accent stating that I had won 18.5 Million dollars and a new Audi car. They wanted me to wire them $302 to cover shipping and handling.They stated that they were on their way to my house now, and would be there within the hour. They said they were from Cincinnati. I spoke with three different people who all had the same accent. David Sawyer is the person who called originally. He gave me the number 1-876-585-0766. I was transferred to Travis Arvey and transfererd again to Michael Koons. They all sounded like the same person.

I received a call from publishers Clearing house, they told me that I have won 1 million dollars and needed to send them 1,000 for fees and taxes. He was a very smooth talker and I almost fell for it. I took down the number and my girlfriend called it and told me it didn't sound right and she thought it was a scam. She called the number, was a supposed Law Office of Richard Haze.

If I would go to Wal-Mart and deposit this money below and get a receipt the Publisher's Clearing House would come to my door with 2.5 million and a 2016 Mercedes Benz. Man on phone was named David King. Said that Attorney General Mary Lee would also accompany one state marshal. David's number was 876-358-1793 said he was in Port Washington, Jamaica, NY. Said a team was coming from Hickory, NC to deliver money and car. Gave me lots of numbers : package code , package state serial, etc. Said this message was being recorded and was ok with Homeland Security and ScamPulse.com. Asked if I wanted the delivery private or made public. Said I would also be hearing from Pat McCleary, our NC governor. The # for Mary Lee: 876-467-8526, I called this number to speak to her and the guy that answered sounded like the David. I hung up. I was asked my age, what i did for a living and my e-mail address to see the information. Said my husband would also get $100,000 every year. Asked how many lived in our home and if we owned it. Also if I was American by birth and if I drove my own car.

I was told that someone from Publishers Clearing House was calling for me to claim a prize of 3.5 million dollars and a 2015 Mercedes Benz.

I was told I would have to go to a Walmart to claim the prize and then asked some questions:

What state do I live?

Who is the beneficiary if I were to die?

Have I heard of the lawyer Miss Mary Lee in the United States?

I was asked to write down the following information:

The representatives name which was Durline A. Pears.

PCH and 3.5 million 2015 Mercedes Benz

The name of Miss Mary Lee lawyer.

I told them I was not get willing to give them any information I was not going to continue to do anything to claim a prize and she did give me a number to call publisher clearing house to get more information if you would like.

It was at that point that she hung up on me.

The call came from Jamaica in the phone number was 876 - 538 - 1545

A man named Jeffery Douglas contacted me by phone, said he was with Publishers Clearing House and I had won the second place prize of 2.5 million dollars and a pearl white Mercedes Benz convertible S class. He told me to call the confirmation center at 1-876-545-6398 and ask for Bill Diamond and ext. 4. I did and mr. Diamond went over the same information then told me I needed to go get a register receipt at Walmart or moneygram in the amount of $195.00 to cover the 1% fees. He asked me did I want delivery to be private or public with cameras. I already knew this was a scam, but played along and said public. ( I heard roosters in the background, lol). I kept him on the phone arguing with him because I said I would give or get him the money upon delivery. He told me he would give itthe the 3rd place winner and I told him he couldn't, that was not how it worked. Then he put a Bradley Shaw on the phone. He was supposingly from the Pentegon Company (lol). He tried to tell me they could seize my prize if I didn't get the register fee. I put him in his place also, told him they were not for real. they even used my Lord's name as a promise and I told them do not do that when they were lying. eventually they figured out that they could not out argue or scare me and hung up.

- Wichita Falls, TX, USA
