Received a phone call from: 1-876-823-8087. Caller identified himself as the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes. His name was Bob Chase. He told me that I was the monthly winner and that I won 2.5 Million dollars and a Mercedes car. All I have to do is send him a Western Union money gram for $199.99 to claim my prize.

I got a call on my cell phone yesterday afternoon 01-23-2016. He introduced himself as John Peterson agent #3 his contact number is 876-809-4094. He wanted me to put my name under that. He then announced that I had won 3.5 million for a drawing having something to do with Publisher's Clearing House. I would be expect a parcel that would be delivered via USPS #2 bar code 10205 and in bold letters it would read "USD". the package could would be the last six digits of my phone number in which he had dialed. To confirm my prize I was to call 1-866-996-5997. He asked me to repeat everything back to him including my name, He asked for my address to ensure that the package will be delivered to me. That he was somewhere in Liberty Texas and the money would be coming to me by check cut from a Bank of America. I had to hurry so that I could deposit the check in my bank by that night . He asked if I was over the age of 18, if I had a valid ID, my martial status and if I wanted to announce my winning Privately or by some public Grand manor. He wondered what I would do with the money? I told him I had no idea. He told me that "His company would pay 99.5% of the tax on the sweepstakes winning but they required that I Pay 500.00 at which time they would put a gold stamp eagle on the check. I told him I can't sent the 500.00 and I'll just pay the tax via bank. He said that he had to collect the 500.00 from me that it's not taxed the same way and wanted to know how much could I raise. I told him none. He asked if I had any one I could borrow money from? I told him no. he told me I will forfeit my prize to the next in line. I told him to then give it to someone else. He went on to say that it's not a scam.

Received phone call 1/21/2016 around 12:15pm central time. The caller ID said Kingston, JM (876) 365-5829. He stated he was with Publisher's Clearing House and asked if I was the owner of this phone number. I didn't answer but asked how could I help him. He said ma'am if you're the owner of the phone you've won $100,000. I asked him to prove that, then he hung up. I called the number back and he answered Publisher's Clearing House, this is Mr. Johnson, how can I help you? I hung up, then I called back and got an automatic voicemail service. The man had just a little bit of an accent but not too strong.

Thanks.

I received a call from someone with a Jamaican (I think) accent saying his name was Ray Young. He said he was from Publisher's Clearing House and I had won 2nd prize ($850,000) and gave me the claim number of 260199. He had my name, address and phone number and seemed very charming. I was not sure so I called ScamPulse.com and they told me it was a scam.

I got a phone call from someone claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House. They said I had won a cash prize and I just had to pay $500 for shipping and handling of the "large check" that they would deliver to my house. I told them that I was going to report to the BBB and forfeit my prize. I do not have the name or the number of the caller.

Caller said I had won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes in the amount of 2.5 million dollars. Said to call another number which was a recording 99.9% of your taxes have already been paid all you need to do is pay 1% to cover the balance of taxes.

I received a phone call from Gary stating that we won the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes and won a check and an automobile.  They stated we should have received a letter a few days ago.  He said they were in the Bryan/College Station area now.  I was instructed to call the GM, Albert Johnson at 876-485-9935.  I reached voice mail when calling this number.  The phone connection was not all that good but they did sound American.

Claim to be Publishers Clearing House. Wanted money via western union. Called from 1-876-355-3955. I did not go along when they wanted money for the claim ticket via the receipt from western union. The only information I believe them to have is cell phone number name and address.

David Rogers contacted my mother telling her he was a UPS driver in Lincoln and had a delivery for from Publishers Clearinghouse ( a large sum of money and a Mercedes Benz car). Later she received a call from James Hunter telling her they would be unable to deliver the winnings without certain criteria. They said she would need proper ID, routing and account numbers that matched the bank of the check she would receive, and last she would need an invitation receipt that would show final approval for her winnings. The receipt was endorsed by ScamPulse.com ( this was stated several times) and Walmart and Walgreens. She could go and use their ATMs to pay my 1% fee of what hadn't already by paid by Publishers. This fee would be $455 and cover unpaid state and federal tax for the winnings. The phone number she called and spoke with people was 1-876-852-5224. James Hunter. They said extension #9 but it sounded like they simply handed the phone over to another person in the room. She concluded the call and called your office to report this incident.

Male called and told me that I had 2.5 million and a car. I was given this number to call and a pin number. Then he told me once I called that number and entered my pin I would receive my money and car. The number that he called me from was from Kingston, Jamaica. The number is 1-876-576-4639. He told me to call this number and enter my pin. That number is 1-866-996-5997. I called it and entered my pin number and they told me to go to my nearest prize facility with a photo ID and my pin number to receive my money and car. The only thing is when you call the 866-996-5997 number they do not tell you who you are calling or where the nearest prize facility is at. This man has called me 4 times within the last 45 minutes. The second time he called my phone cut off in another important call to the doctor's office that I am trying to call back. The last 2 times he has called I had my mom pretend to be my lawyer and she talked to him and told him that she was turning him into the cops and he hung up. As of 2:21 p.m. he has not called back. I would like for y'all to put a stop to this scam before someone gets hurt or they loose a lot of money. Thank you in advance.

We keep receiving calls from someone saying they are with the Publisher's Clearing House. The foreign speaking man says that we have won so many millions of dollars. I just hang up the phone.

I received a call from Publisher's Clearinghouse from a Paul Anderson. He said I won a large prize, but would need to send $900 to them in order to receive it. I know this is a scam, because you would not need to send money to receive a prize.

This person called twice before on my cell phone with caller ID shows the number is from Kingston, Jamaica. I finally answered and listened to a man stating he's from the Publisher Clearing House and I won $850, 000 and a brand new Mercedes car so I asked how did I win if I haven't enter the drawing so he says I was randomly selected by one of my receipts like Walmart so I listened to find out what the catch was and he says all they needed was a copy of my photo ID and I would have to pay 1 percent of my winnings and $360 for processing fees so they could automatically take care of my withholdings to the IRS. I asked the guy again what company he was calling from and again he said Publisher Clearing House from Queens, NY! I corrected him by telling him he was calling from Kingston, Jamaica and he denied it and said he's calling from Queens. I then told him I was going to report him and this number. The guy then later said "do you want a Jamaica guy?" "Do you want a Jamaica guy?" I hung up.

He never said his name and he has an accent like he was really from Jamaica but he was trying real hard to speak

without it. Beware of this scammer!!!$3
