Someone with an accent using the name Mark Pressman called claiming to be with Publisher's Clearing house and that I had won 2nd prize of $955,000 and a 2016 GMC truck. The prize would be delivered today provided I went to Walmart and wired 1% of my winnings in order to cover taxes and shipping and handling. I told him this is bull[censored] and don't call my damn phone again. He called from this number

876-837-8912. Jamaica. 5 minutes later the same guy answered the phone and I hung up.

on 11/12/15 received phone call from 1-876-840-3621 from man claiming to be James Cooper. He stated I won 1.5 dollars from Publishers Clearing House. He gave me prize claim # (6 digits plus P C H at the end) and his bosses name; John Ford. He told me to call 1-876-840-3621 (which is the same number he called me from) ask for John Ford, reference prize claim number and his name to claim my prize. I believe when i called and spoke with John he was the same person who called initially. He told me to go to Safeway $498. which they required before I'd publicly be rewarded the Grand Prize!

I keep getting calls every single day saying I have won 3.5 million dollars and a new car.  They are wanting us to send money.  Now they are threatening us (my Mom and me) that they are sending a bomb if we do not send them some money.  Their phone number is 876-325-2126.  They are cussing at us using the F U word.  They have an accent from another country.  Not sure where.  But they are definitely not American.  They said they were with Publishers Clearing House.

Michael Anderson of Publishers Clearing house called and said I won 1.5 million. he said the certified check id was 0018576604. gave me a 6 digit number and said call 1-866-996-5997. I called and put in 6 digit number and it said my prize was reserved. called Michael Anderson back at 1-876-595-3426 . he said prize would be deliver to my home in 1 hour and 35 minutes. Mary Smith would deliver. However, I needed the invitation and pictured id to get the check. I would need to pay $499. to get the invitation....that this was required to cover taxes. I told them they were crazy. My guess is they got my phone number from ***.com or ***.com as I have been job searching. Makes sense guess they are going after desperate people. I logged this earlier today but I don't think I put the phone numbers in the case.

My Mother in Law received a phone call ,stating she had won 2.5 million dollars, the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes, and go to the nearest Western Union office and pick up her check.

She stated she could not do that the caller then stated they would come to her home,when she questioned that they normaly surprise the winners, the caller stated, we want to make sure the winner is home.

Upon further investigation , Publishers Clearing House does not call the winners, they come to their home and surprise them, with the prize.

"Publisher's Clearinghouse" contacted my mom saying that she had won $2.5 million and had her write down a cheque number and many other prize codes to distract her. They asked for a lot of banking information (accounts, balances, last withdrawal, personal identification information). They said that they would deposit a large sum into her account, and that after confirming that it was there she was to send them certified cheque for the same amount to verify the account. They have continued to call, saying that they are on their way to see her. She has changed all of her accounts and credit card.

Publishers Clearinghouse sent a check for $8000 through Bank of Michigan. She called the number given (613-712-0177) and they told her to deposit check but not tell anyone. It doesn't say anywhere that she needs to send money back.

A person has called several times over the weekend and again today saying he is with the Publishers Clearing House and we have won a large amount of money but need to send money in order to collect it. I believe this is a scam.

Representative supposedly from Publishers Clearing House called and said that he was looking at a check for me for 2.5 million dollars but in order to collect my winnings I would have to pay $700 for taxes and fees. The US government was supposedly paying the rest. The caller had a very strong foreign accent. He said the sweepstakes was for seniors only.

Received phone call from Publishers Clearing house (David Clark) stating I was a winner of 350,000, a Mercedez, and $5,000.00 a month "Go to Wal-Mart, I'll go with ya. Get a card and put $680.00 on it. Since you're on Medicare, just pay $340.00." "David" said they are accredited with the ScamPulse.com, "they know about this phone call. BBB records this phone call so you're safe." I told him I didn't have a cell phone and my cord wasn't long enough to reach all the way to Wal-Mart. He told me I could write a check instead. He was constantly putting me on hold for minutes at a time. He never supplied me with an address to mail the check to. He also asked me banking info (which I didn't give to him) and questions about needing a loan. "Why would I need a loan if I just won all this?!

Knew it was a scam from the beginning. Called BBB to inform them on this situation.
