I just received a phone call from a person claiming to work for UPS in Seattle. His name was William Cooper and he said he had a check from Publishers Clearing House to be delivered to me today. He said he called the ScamPulse.com and got clearance from them(whatever that means!)He gave me his phone number to call (1-876-475-9095) after I had checked out with Bank of America( which is actually our bank). I was supposed to call 914-888-2431 with pin # 6864 and account # 852456. All I had to do is verify that I was who I said I was by giving them my checking account number and pin! This check was supposedly for 9 million dollars!! He kept asking me if I really was who I said I was. He just called back as I am typing this and said "why didn't you call me back? Did you check your account?" I said no, I don't do this kind of thing without discussing it with my husband first and he is not here. He said to call back as soon as possible. He said it was verified by Publishers Clearing House and I had filled out forms, which could go back years, which I never have done. PCH never would call, they would come to your door personally if you participated in that sort of thing. Beware, he was very slick.

I got a call stating that I won $650,000 and a 2017 Chevy Malibu. I was very cautious, as I did not believe it. He asked me to take a piece of paper, and write down specific information; What I won, the name of the company, Winner ID#, package #, check #, claim reference #, deliver #, and his name (which he scolded me for not remembering).

The other requirements (the above information was the first) were a valid ID and a claimer's receipt. He went on to say that they had paid 25% out of 25% of the IRS fees, which left me a balance of $505.00 to pay in order to get the claimer's receipt. I said that I do not have $505.00. He said, "when are you going to be able to get the claimer's receipt"? I said, "I don't have $505.00". He asked again," when are you going to be able to get the claimer's receipt? I said, "when am I going to be able to get $505.00?" He said, "Yes". I said, "Never. I have bills to pay. He hung up on me.

Also during the phone call, we got disconnected and he called back and demanded "Why did you hang up on me". I replied that I didn't hang up on him, we were disconnected

I received a call from phone number 876-599-3312 saying that I won a publishers clearing house prize of $976,000.00. He identified himself as the Publisher's Clearinghouse driver. He wanted to know my address so he could deliver the check. I hung up, and when I called him back he identified himself as the driver again.

I have received numerous calls from “Gloria Wilson” (876-474-9525). The number appears to be coming out of Jamaica. They have called my husband about 50 times in the last week & a half. They claim my husband has won $43,000.00 and a car from Publishers Clearinghouse, but we were told to keep it quiet. We were told to mail money to Nancy Flores at 2981 E. Highway 80, Mineola, Texas 75773.

At first we were told to send $750.00. When we said that we didn’t have that, it was reduced to $275.00. We stated that we didn’t have that either, it was then reduced to $150.00.

I did not send any money but I told the caller that I did so that she would stop calling us.

I am notifying the BBB & Channel 9 News.
