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.

I received a call today 3/3/2016 from 876-340-0706 at 11:26 am a John Miller 678-340-0706 at 11:26 am from Publishers Clearing House stating that I had won 2.5 million U.S. dollars check #015167016990007 form the Bank of America and a 2016 Hybrid E-class Mercedes Benz. He asked was at home now to claim my prize and I told him I was at work. He then asked what time would I be home to claim my prize and I told him about 4:30 so he said my prize would be delivered by 5pm today. He then went on to say that when the prize was delivered I was suppose to show him a receipt showing that I had gone to Wal-Mart and paid $699 for shipping, but he said that $699 was actually going the IRS to pay taxes on the prizes that I had won. When I explained to him that I wasn't going to pay any money for prizes that he claimed I had won he then told me to call him when I got of work so that I could still claim my prizes. he called again at 12:34 saying that is name was John Davis and I told him that he had just told me his name was John Miller so he said Davis was his middle name. I told him yet again that I was not going to pay any money for prizes and that this called sounded like a scam he ended the call

I received a call from a private number on my cell phone from "Mark Davis". The person sounded like a robot, so his voice was weird. Asked if I remembered entering Publisher's Clearing House a long time ago (I really had entered a long time ago) Said I had won and needed to call Robert Ford at 876-825-4895 and gave me a winning number. When I called "Mr. Ford," he also sounded weird (like they were masking their voices) and said the call was being recorded. Asked me to go to the nearest store (and rattled off several stores including Walmart.) When I said Walmart was the nearest store to me, he said to go to their customer service counter to get my price verification number to give to the people who would deliver my price to my home. He wanted me to stay on my phone with him while I traveled to Walmart. He said I would need $750 to pay for shipping and handling. I told him I would not pay that and would not stay on the phone while I traveled to Walmart (because I was calling him from a landline.) I said I would call him from Walmart when I got there. Supposedly I won $9 M dollars and a convertible. Instead of going to Walmart, I am posting this scam here.

Publishers Clearing House offered a lottery with no purchase required. After entering the lottery they offer 2 free gifts with no obligation. After receiving the free gifts they sent a bill for the full retail price for the free products.

Soon after entering the lottery I received postal mail requests on a weekly basis telling me I had to send money to claim my winning numbers.

There advertising is deceiving and they threaten to hurt your credit if you do not comply with their demands. I was forced to sent them $40.41 to keep my credit rating from getting a false non payment reported.

Mr. Jack (876-362-7429) called me on Sunday telling me I had won Publisher Clearing House sweepstakes in the amount of 950,000. he said all I needed to do was go get a western union and send Mr. Thomas Archuleta 175.25 so I did. He said I was paying that fee so my winnings would be tax free. Mr. Thomas got that money and then they said they made a mistake that I was suppose to send 580.00 originally, but because they didn't tell me the would go half on the difference and all I had to send in was 185.00 more dollars so I did. Then they called me and said that I needed to pay to have it federal sealed and it would cost me 650.00 more dollars I then told them I'm not sending other dime then they said they would loan it to me if I had a card they could get it back on they was going to provide me a routing number and bank account to have it put into my account. I did not give them no card nor bank info I just stop answering the call they are still calling me... The guy Mr. Peter Green is saying he is with the IRS he is a customs manager he called me from 769-218-0505 and 801-921-7250. I had been scam and I have both western union receipts totaling 350.00 can you please help catch these thieves...
