I was called by someone by the name of Mark Miller saying he work for PCH and I won $9million and a new Mercedes but I had to first go to Walmart and purchase 2 money pack green do card for $500 & $499. He told me to leave the phone in car and he would stay on hold until that is done. I said hold on and hung up... he called back 3x. He said alot more about the lawyer will be coming to my house when they present the check and to make sure all pets were put up because she was allergic to them, trying to sound believable.

Received a call to day at my father's home from an individual with a caller ID of Paul chambers with the listed phone number. This is a second call from a different number same name, claiming to be with publishers clearinghouse, (Publishers does not make outbound calls). Paul Chambers is very polished, serious about it, and it's pleasant on the phone but he's a complete scam. I have taken this up with publishers and they are aware.

I was contacted by phone by a Mr. Frank Moss. I was also contacted by Susan Williamson who left me a voicemail giving me my claim number ID.
I was told that I had one $7.5 million, $10,000 a week for life and a new Mercedes-Benz SUV.
I was asked to open a new checking account, which I did. Also asked to fill out a form with all my personal information.
I received documents, and I was supposed to sign and return after I heard from Moss again. However, that didn’t happen.
Shared the information with Family and they found the fraud information online.
So far, I haven’t seen any activity on the newly opened account.
All my other accounts have been frozen
And I purchased a LifeLock plan. Hopefully, we have been able to dodge a bullet.

Well I just received a text from 941-557-4789 and it said I won 500,000 dollars to text my full name to Robert Fethlan. I guess it's a scam. So what do I do now?

Received a robocall from 516-540-5166 stating that I was a big winner of an unclaimed prize. Gave me a claim code and told me to call 442-221-6247. Mr. Boyd answered. Told me my prize was worth $10,000 and wanted me to go to Walmart at 8:30 at night for some weird reason. I know it's a scam I'm not going to do that. I just like messing with these creeps.

I just received this text here (I'll take photos to be posted below) saying I've won a large amount of money from PCH and to contact Ronald Schwartz by text ONLY (saying again not to call).
I almost wanted to reply just to see what else they would ask me to do so I could give more information and I might still do it safely without giving out any of my true information and without sending any money out as I learned a few things about PCH.
They will NEVER ask you to send them money to claim money or ask for you to send back gift cards like some of them do.
Also, PCH personally comes to your home unannounced without any warning for anything $10,000 or more and anything under that is sent through certified mail.

People like this really grind my gears because I know without a shadow of a doubt that a ton of people get scammed by them everyday and lose their hard earned money! This is insane and I wish there was some way to get them in trouble!

If I'm able to get any other information, I will see if I can update this post with anything else I find out. I really hope this helps someone before a mistake is made which is why I'm doing this at all. I don't want anyone getting taken advantage of!

P.S. The scammer had two different phone numbers. The first one is the one I already listed at the top of the form here starting with the 505 area code and as you will see they all me to contact this Ronald guy at a different number and to NOT call but text only!

Voicemail: John Green identified himself as being from publishers clearing house. I had won the sweepstakes. To claim the winnings, I would need to call 516-259-4478. He called twice. Neither time The call was picked up. He left a voice message on the second call.
I immediately looked online for the phone # to see if it was a scam!
Thanks for posting this information.

Dave Called stating that I had won 5.5million and a 2022 Mercedes Benz,selected color Red, wanted my bank information so that I could pay $2,500 fee before my prize was delivered.He also sent two fake notification letters to my email As proof, one said that security would accompany me to the bank to keep me safe. It had a fake Homeland security seal.Both letters I could have produced on my computer myself.He uses its a blessing from God to make himself sound credible. TOLD ME MY PASSWORD was In God we trust.I am a retired Sergeant from the Sheriffs dept. This guy is a joke.

They called and said i won 1.3 million dollars and they would take care of the tax leaving $830 thousand. I would also get a 2022 Mercedes Benz with the insurance paid for 2 years snd gas for 6 months. I needed to get 2 vanilla gift cards for 500 each and they would load each one weekly for $5000 dollars each for i think 62 weeks. I got the cards and they asked for the numbers. I said why They said so they could load them. I checked later that night and the money was being spent. I told them and they said they would check it out with homeland security and the FBI. Then the next day they called and said i would get my money back but i needed to get 2 more gift cards. I told them i couldn't do that. They said try to borrow it. They called me numerous times and i wouldn't answer. I haven't talked to them and ignore their phone calls.
They have another number they call me from. 539 232 5562. I checked the gift cards and they spent every dollar on them. I can't see where they spent the money. It wont even come up.

Yes, I got scammed $500 on this person that especially called me from Jamaica and told me to go to a Wal-Mart or any other store to buy a $250 money pack, then claiming to me "there we're going to be girls coming to your house and will take you to the bank, and you will get a car, after they take you to the bank and get your money".

Yes, this has been a scam and notified my bank over at BB&T. Yes I had to close that account out, because of this. Yes, they have all of my information, if you wanted to contact them. I want that $500 back. I have called several of areas, and gave them the other information from New York, yes, my other $25 was taken from a different Publishers clearing house. They said they would get back with me soon. I moved at that time being, and they couldn't get ahold of me because they we're busy. There we're a couple of Scammers gotten a hold of me all the time and kept calling me numerous of times a day. Yes, I especially already reported this to the police and still didn't get my $525 back.

Names we're Michael Washington, and the other one I didn't get because one of the other person answered the phone. Especially there we're several of different 876 numbers, and especially most of them say Private Caller on the Caller ID.

Yes, I want that $525 back now.

First call came from Betty Morgan to say I won a check and a car. She said to call 9179009578 and ask for Don Chopper at extension 5. When I called there was no extension but someone answered stating they were Don and asked my name. I gave a fake name and he then began to use racial slurs and tell me to go back to my country.

BBH-Complaint-against_PCH

We (my wife and I) responded to a Letter supposedly from PCH, which said we had won $75,000. We just had to call and be in touch with the “claims agent” Steve Keller for them to arrange to deliver it to us. They ("PCH") just kept increasing the amount of costs for processing & delivery, and they delayed it overnight, after which they asked much larger fee.

At first they required payment as gift-cards from Walmart ($2000); then Target ($2000); then another from Walmart ($2000). Then they started additional fees and delaying delivery ($1400 and more for "overnight storage” of the big check).

Somewhere in this process they emptied our bank accounts ! The letter said they would give us a check to cover fees, for $4617, but it bounced (was caused to bounce, after we called BBB..

The mechanism is not totally clear, but the claims agent (Mr. Steve Keller) had me scratch off (Wmart) / peal off (Target) and read aloud to him over the phone the numbers (card ID and PIN).

Becoming suspicious, we contacted the ScamPulse.com; who informed us this was a known scam! (Thanks to a Ms. *** at 317-488-2222, x***.)

We can send a copy of the Letter by snail-mail; not sure how to get computer to scan to Email. If we find a way for a computer-adept guy we know, where do I email it to, the ff.?

[email protected], or another address?

Again, THANKS for all help!

PS as favor, reply to all 3 of my emails:
