Three months ago, someone from Publishers Clearing House called me and said I had won 1.4 million. I told him he was crazy and ended the call. The next day someone else from Publishers Clearing House called and asked if I spoke with them man the day before and that he was wrong. I had won 15 million. I had to pay them $4,000 for fees and taxes. I sent them a cashiers check. Then the called back and said I they couldn't find enough sponsors to help so I would need to pay another 5,000. They did send me seveal checks, two for 7.5 million and one for 4 million. I never cashed/ deposited them.

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.

I recieved a letter from Publisher's Clearinghouse stating I won $750,000 dollars.  It came with a check for $9,000 that I was supposed to deposit and then send them back $7,000 for taxes and handling fees.  The letter told me to call 814-844-5318 before I deposited the check and to only speak with Jerry Price.  He would tell me what to do next.

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.
