I had a message from someone named Roger with Publishers Clearing House. I needed to call him and enter a code. I did it and he told me that I had won last year but they couldn't contact me to give me my prize. He said that because it had been so long I would need to pay them $4780 to reinstate my file. I told him I couldn't do that. Roger said he would send me a check for that amount and that I could deposit it into my bank and use that money to pay them. They did send me a check but I did not deposit it.

Someone claiming to be with Publishers Clearing House called me and said I won $2.5 million and a new truck.  He told me his name was John Mickles.  I had to send them $500 on a GreenDot card for IRS taxes.  They stayed on the phone with me while I purchased the card.  I had to send him the money through GreenDot - his name on the app was Grim Reape.  After I sent him the money they called me and said I had to send them more.

I reccieved a letter from someone claiming to be with  Publisher's Clearinghouse.  It stated that I had won $750,000.000 and that I was entered into their contest through cross promotions with credit card companies.  They included a check for $8,890.91 with the letter.  They told me I had to deposit this check and use the funds towards paying taxes and processing fees.  I was assigned a claims agent named James Goodman.  He would help me set up monthly installments.  The letter told me to keep everything confidential and not to tell anyone I won until after I started getting the monthly instalments. The letter was sogned by some claiming to be CEO Mark Lawson.
