I was contacted by a man from a Jamaican number. The man gave me his name, David Johnson and his phone number and extension. He told me that I had won the 3rd place prize for this state. He told me the amount of the prize, the bonus prize (range rover), he even gave me a confirmation number for the check and the car. He then gave me the name of the company accountant, lawyer, and ups delivery person who would be delivering my prize. Everything sounded too good to be true until he said that I would need to pay a 1% tax on the amount of money that I would receive, which was $299, but said that the lawyer who would deliver my check would also have an envelope with a cash reimbursement for the 1% tax that I would have to pay. After he gave me all of this information, and I told him I couldn't pay that tax, he kept pushing and asking when I would be able to pay it and if I couldn't pay it then they would donate my prize to a company of my choice (that's on the list). He also mentioned that the phone call was being recorded by the BBB. So I finally got him off of the phone and was able to check around. Well I made my way to the PCH official website which has multiple tips on avoiding scams. 1 of those tips said that PCH NEVER calls ahead of delivery, and if you win a PCH prize, you win and that's it. There is no fee or tax. Winning is free. So please be aware. This man almost convinced me and would have gotten my money had I not looked at the PCH website. He was very convincing and all of those names and numbers makes it even more convincing. Who wouldn't want to win $2.8 million and a range rover. That's a weekly dream for me so of course I got excited but I'm glad I check my resources.

Reviewed a letter from Publishing Clearing House that my father won a prize of $2,500.000.00. Included with the letter was a check for $7291.30. The maker of the check is Draco Services Inc. it also states to contact the claim manager before cashing the check. The claim manager is Andy Jones. The check looks real bit after doing some online research, I believe it's fake.

BBB received a call from a man who had been contacted by a company claiming to be Publishers Clearing House.  They told him he wond 2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes.  The lady caller to the customer said she was from Las Vegas; however, her phone number had a Jamaican area code.  He looked up on web the real PCH company and learned the company does not make cold calls. They wanted him to go to Wal-Mart and send $769 for security purposes.

They are calling saying they are with publishers clearing house. And you've won x amount of money but you need to pay legal fees before you can receive the money. According to publishers clearing house official website, they never ask you to send money. This last call came from Jamaica. They got upset when I told them what I knew.
