Report

I was contacted from a facebook friend through messenger but the friend had no idea someone was using her name and contact profile. It was as if I was talking to my friend trying to convince me that I was on the same list that she was on and had won money from Publishers Clearing House. She kept wanting me to check it out because she had won $150,000.00 and had received the money at her front door step. All I had to do was contact the Agent and download WhatsApp and create an account. I was to fill out name and address, phone number and choose the amount of money I wish to receive. Each amount of money comes with an acitivation fee for profile batch code number as it will be requested by the delivery team when they are ready to deliver winning money to prevent double claims.

You pay $1,000.00 and get $70,000.00, $1500.00 and get $150,000.00 all the way up to $33,000.00 and receive $1,000,000.00.

I told them that I had checked with PCH and they said they never charge any fees and if someone claimed to be them and charged that it is a scam. If I find out that my identity has been compromised through WhatsApp I will report it. I did not let it get past my address and phone number. I would not have gone far if they were not using my friends name in this scam. The only image I have is the correspondence back and forth and I screenshot those and then closed out the WhatsApp.

They said I won five million dollars and would have to register with the better business bureau in order to certify the check. It would be one thousand dollars to do that and they don't take cash or checks. I would have to get a vanilla gift card. As soon as I heard that, I hung up the phone.

I got a call from John Baker and JM Kingston from Publisher's Clearing House. They said they were located in Jamaica, NY. They both had accents. They told me I had won $7 million and a Mercedes. They kept me on the phone for over an hour and a half. They said they were authorized by the Better Business Bureau. They wanted $500, I said no. I finally broke down and bought a $20 Vanilla Gift Card and gave them the security number from the back.

Was sent 3 checks, $25,000 each from Publishers Clearinghouse and was told to hold the money in my account. Then I was contacted by another organization who promised doubling my money, so I used the money from the checks I was sent to purchase gift cards and send them electronically. Now they are demanding the money back and scared me with a threat of jail time. Please let this be a warning to others.

A man by the name of David Fayer called saying he was with Publisher's Clearing House and said I won $850,000 for the day and $5,000 weekly for life and a new GMC pickup. He gave me award numbers and claim numbers, a check number and a prize number. He then needed $300 in a gift card for me to claim the prize. I told him my wife had the credit card and he could talk to her. Told him she would hang right up on him. I did not fall for this scam.

A Michael Peterson called me and said I had won a prize and he needed my email to send the forms to me on how to claim. My email never received anything so when he called me back I told him to just mail the forms to me. Instead he ups them to a store I Galesburg, Illinois. When I call the ups store they do indeed have the forms and that they were fraudulent and this happens on a weekly basis. If u call the number he actually answers it.

I got an automated message from Mr. Goldberg congratulating me on my Publisher's Clearing House win, for $5000 a week for life, and a gas card. My prize number is 85647 and I should call 346-262-4458 to claim my prize. I have had my identity stolen four times: once with Experian, Mt Carmel East, Central Ohio Medical, then I had a credit card stolen and used to purchase merch in FL which was sent overseas.

A male contacted my mother by a landline stating that she was a winner of $650k. He advised that she should keep this private and confidential and not to tell anyone. However, to "claim" her prize, she needed to go to Walmart or Walgreens within 30 mins to an hour and get gift cards in the amount of $499. She received several calls from this subject asking if she had gone to Walmart or Walgreens yet; and in one he advised that the people bringing her money were trying to find her house. He stated that "they" and Steve Harvey had driven by and even spoke about the car/camper in her drive.

He works for Publishers Clearing House. He says I've won money, sent me a list for me to choose how much I would like to win. I could get $5 million if I paid $50,000. He asked me if there were any stores around. He wants me to buy a $50 gift card to get $10,000 from Walgreens, Walmart or Dollar Store. He said the winnings would be delivered by Fed Ex. He told me to keep it from public. I gave him my mailing address and phone number. He is sending me IM through FB private messages.
