A man called from supposedly Publisher's Clearinghouse. My husband talked to him and they asked him to get American Express gift cards from Dollar General for $500 and he said it would cost $5.95 for the card.

and he would receive new car and money. He said his name was John Goodman and to call 1-815-881-2266 at extension 009 and ask for Albert Johnson. So my husband didn't do it and asked me to call Better Business Bureau.

I got a call from a guy. He was a foreigner. I could hardly understand him. He said I won $9.5 million and a brand new car. he sent me a picture of a car and a key remote. He wants me to go to Dollar General and buy a paypack card, and the car would be delivered to my driveway. he thinks my name is Steve. I am supposed to call him when I get the gift card at 876-995-9791. He wants to stay on the phone with me while I'm at Dollar General. he said by the time I get back home, the car will be delivered.

I was contacted online through Facebook and Messenger. They told me I had won money that would be delivered by FedEx. I was instructed to send money by gift cards to pay for taxes. I had to use a credit card to buy gift cards and send photos of them. They required my driver's license to prove my identity. After I sent $1540 to pay for taxes and paperwork, they promised to send me lottery winnings. Now they are asking for an additional $4500 for taxes or they won't send me any winnings. I have not received any money. They have texted me at all hours of the day and night for more money. They are still hassling with texts as I write this.

they originally contacted me by email then by messenger. they claimed to be part of the government and claimed I won money $ 100,000 from a state lottery. They wanted me to pay for delivery, then a late charge, and then fees, and now lunch for their delivery driver. I have given them about 2500 dollars in apple gift cards.

Received a phone call saying they had won Cash and a new car. Purchased Green Dot cards to pay the "fees necessary to receive the prizes." Wiped out her Social Security check and she had to borrow money from family to pay her bills. She reported it to the sheriff, who checked her phone and told her the call was from Jamaica.

I received a text from Alex Gerrard with Readers Digest Publishers Clearing House saying I had won $500,000 with a picture of a check. He said I was randomly picked for January 2024. He gave me a FedEx tracking number. He said they tried to deliver the check yesterday, but nobody was home. I was asked for $400 in security fees to replace the check if it was lost. I told him I have a Ring camera, and nobody came to my door. He had an accent like Pakistan or India. He sent me an email saying the IRS had taken care of 100% of the taxes.

The account in question is misleading users into believing that it is affiliated with "Mr. Beast" a popular YouTuber on the platform. The ad claims you will receive $1000 for visiting a link in the description and was put up is on a channel that goes by the name of "Beast Offerings". The channel does not state that it is not affiliated with the previously mentioned YouTuber (Mr. Beast) until you arrive to the page that was linked on the video. Once on the page you are greeted by the claim of winning $1000 for putting in your personal information. The only mention of them not being affiliated with "Mr. Beast" is in small print with resides at the bottom of the page. I believe these tactic are purposely misleading in order to gain personal information from the victim.

Wanted me to send them $1,000 to collect winnings of $100,000. Claims that it's a grant you don't have to pay back, used your friend's messenger account to get a hold of you to tell you that they saw your name in the unclaimed funds section and stated that a agent will help you get your money, before someone else claims it.

Fortunately, my bank blocked the payment as fraudulent and did not allow the charge to go through. There were 3 different charges, to 3 different scammers,or so I thought. I will list all 3 as a separate scam, but they are all about lottery or some type of prize and I called the first number and they said they would cancel it. Like I was going to win anyway! I never gave anyone from these scammers my credit card number, so not sure how they got it. You would have to pay them to even get a "ticket" for the lottery/gifting prize. When I called about the second scam they said I had already been cancelled, stating that they were a call center for several companies! Same when I called for the 3rd scam. So it seems like they have a broad spectrum of companies they pretend to be.

I keep getting calls from a guy who says I've won Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes and a Mercedes Benz in the color of my choosing. He wants me to pay $1500 for taxes. He asked for my account number. I said no, my attorney wouldn't like it. He asked me who my attorney was and I said I call him dad. He had an accent.
