Report

A man named Mike Anderson called me last week and told me I won $2.5 million dollars from the PCH Sweepstakes. Yesterday morning I sent $225 for shipping and handling and they would bring the cash prize and a free car. When I got home he asked for $599 for the IRS so that I wouldn't have to pay taxes at the end of the year and it was tax-free. I sent this money using a Western Union Money Gram.

I sent the money to Afwayne Pallas.

Sunday night I received a call from a man who sounded like he was from Jamaica or something saying that he was calling on behalf of Publishing Clearing House and I had won $850,000 and a new Mercedes Benz. He said my confirmation number was 933145 and that I needed to call one of these numbers on Monday morning, 876-387-9034 or 213-39-9206, or 866-996-5997. He has already called back three times this morning but I did not answer. I looked up the numbers and one was a cell phone, one was in Jamaica, and one was for a TM Potts.

A man called me and told me I won $2.5 million from Publisher's Clearinghouse. He asked me if I was on my cell phone or home phone. He told me I needed to go to Western Union and send $155 to John Spitzer at 876.329.3765. He had a foreign accent. He also asked if I lived alone and if I was single or married, and if I drove a car and what kind of car I drove. It made me suspicious that someone was going to rob my house while I went to Western Union.

John Whashington from PCH wanted me to give 375.00 to Western Union under the name Daneisha Wright to pay my S.C. side fees for the delivery of my 1.5 million dollars. The delivery team was right up the road waiting on that receipt number to come charging with my money!

I just received a phone call from a James at Publisher's Clearing House. My number is registered with the Do Not Call Registry. I have not entered any sweepstakes from Publisher's Clearing House. The number that was showing on the caller I.D. was 876-470-2899

Anyway, when I told James "No Thank You" he got very belligerent and said "[censored] you, you [censored]". I'm pretty sure he was not representing Publisher's Clearing House. I'm not sure who I should report this to so if It's not the BBB please let me know.

Person called my cellphone stating that he was from Publishers Clearing House and that I had won $350,000. I told him to just put the check in the mail. He yelled at me and said shout the *** up and listen. I told him I don't have to listen to such language and hung up.

Consumer stated a caller from Jamaica claimed he was with Publisher Clearing House. Before he could say anything else, she told him it was a scam and asked who he worked for and where he was located. The caller became belligerent with the consumer and then hung up on her. The consumer called the number back, and the same person answered and was immediately belligerent, until finally hanging up.

Guy called up and asked if I was me by already knowing my name. He then proceeded to tell me about how I won publishers clearinghouse and that he was from New York. He claimed that I had won $2.6 million and a brand new BMW through publishers clearinghouse. I said ok... He then started asking for personal information like address and what I do for a living. I told him if I won what does it matter what I do? He started getting agitated so I told him he was sounding like a scam. He said he was real and that I had won but he needs this important information. I asked if he could email it to me. He said yes, what email address should I send it to. I told him, "the one you have on file that I entered from." That ended the conversation. I then looked up the area code. A google search concluded that the number came from Jamaica instead of his claim of New York.

I had this person David Anderson call my cell phone. His number is 876-824-2841. I called my local police they said they would call me back. I get this person call me back to tell me he's the police. Tell me want to get the FBI involved?

Well, He called me up to tell me that I have won 2.5 million dollars from The Publish Clearing House. but! I have to send him $294.00 first. Than I knew it was a scam.

Another phone number David Anderson gave me was 876-455-4592.

I want people to know he had asked me if I was older than 65? I gave him no other personal information.

Catch this scammer. I wonder how many people over 65 had sent him the money.

My phone number is *** I live in Keaau, Hawaii.
