A foreign man, Scott mason, said he was calling from Publisher's Clearing House. He asked for my address for a TV Crew to personally deliver a check for $985,000. He asked if I wanted it kept confidential. He gave me a prize confirmation number. He told me to buy a Vanilla card for $300. He told me to buy it from Walmart or a convenience store. He gave me a prize confirmation number. I was on the phone for 30 minutes.

They came to my house and took 500 dollars away from saying I need to pay taxes on a brand new car that was supposed to be gifted to me and 2.4 million dollars as my prize. They will not refund my money nor will they give me my prizes. They lied straight to my face ! It's the fact that they came to my house to take my money! His name is Carlton . That may not even be a real number

Got a call on my mobile phone from a male with an accent telling me I won 8.5 million dollars and a 2021 Mercedes. Stated he was calling from Publishers Clearing House. He had my old address.He stated his name was Mr. John Baker came in with listing of New York #929-256-6994. He then told me to call Bank of America Escrow #877-404-2319. He then gave me an escrow account number and PIN number. He stated it would be an automated message that would ask for those numbers. He then told me to call him back but didn’t say why. I didn’t call and while I am writing this complaint my mobile phone has rung with the same New York number. I will not answer again.

I received a call saying that I had won $135 Million in sweepstakes that included a car. I had to pay $2100 in a Vanilla Gift Cards to cover my fees. Mr. Steve said that I would receive my winnings once I paid them.

Mrs. Mary said she was an attorney and I had to pay them for winnings and I sent her $700 for my winnings in gift cards

I now have a different Mary trying to get me to send her money who claims I have winnings.

These people called me and said that I had won the prize. I have participated, but never expected to win. I have bought their products, too. They wanted to come to my house.

I received a call on my home phone Publishers Clearing House. 876-813-6154 was in my caller ID. Caller said I won second prize. I never heard of a second prize. That was the first thing. I won $5000 a week until it reaches $2.5 million. This is what stopped me. Told me to go to Walgreens or Walmart and buy a Vanilla card for $350. I show them the card when they come with my prize. I said if you are giving me $5000 a week why do I have to pay $350? I know this is a scam. I called the number back. The same man answered. I might get somebody caught. They need to be caught.

I received a voice mail message from Publishers Clearing House stating I had won the contest, which by the way I never entered. I did not call them back with the phone number they listed as I knew it was a scam. I just wanted to let you know that these calls are going around and no one should respond to them.

I was on messenger and chatted with a person named Greg James R. He said he was from PCH and I won money. I had to fill out a delivery form. It wanted my full name, my mother's name, male/female, full address, Facebook password, photo I.D., text phone, phone carrier, occupation, monthly income, email address, age, and have I ever applied for any grants before. I definitely did not give him any real information. I did ask him a lot of questions and he was starting to get upset. He did send me an I.D. that said, Dave Sayer. When I asked him why his name did not match the I.D. he said his name was Greg James Dave Sayer. He really wanted me to give him information, but to no avail. Oh well, I guess he is screwed.

I was called and told I won a car and $800,000.00 grand prize; prize number 524176. I was to have $120.00. They would pick me up at my home and then I would follow them to the bank, and they would put the funds in the bank. I asked if I could have a friend come with me. They said yes and asked who. I said a friend and Wyoming policeman. They said i could spend a little money to get the big money to do something wonderful for me. They were smooth right to smooth.

When I called the number back, they answered with Reader's Digest.

Left VM that she had won a sweepstakes and to call the phone number provided which she did. She spoke w/someone and there is a automated message and then a man answers and asks for a number that was left on the answering machine and says he will call her back. Well, he didn't. This same scenerio also happened with a friend of hers and no one called this person either.
