I received a call from John Lendal who said I was a winner of Publisher clearing house. I won $250,000, $7000 weekly and a Mercedes. He said I needed to go and get a gift card from Walmart and they would put the $7000 onto he gift card. He's called about 4 times and finally out of desperation he left a message.

They sent a check with a letter stating to purchase gift card for Foot locker.  I called the bank that the check was from which was Tri Counties Bank (Cashier Check) PO Box 909 Chico CA. 95927-0909.   Cashier check in the amount of $1950.  We called the bank in California.  They said it was a legit bank and a legit address but they have never heard of purchasing a gift card for Foot locker, Walgreens, and CVS.  The Bank also stated that their cashier check is the color yellow.  Also, what is included in letter is not to inform the stores of what you are doing with the gift cards.

The instagram page known as “the skiing” does “giveaways” if you can even call them that. They select you as a winner of a mystery box and give you a promo code to make the mystery box free but then you end up paying $24 in shipping just to receive stickers worth less than a dollar. The supposed prize to winning the giveaway was a $500 snowboard that no one received.

I've received several calls over the last few days from someone named Bill Sharp about a sweepstakes. He asked me to purchase a Walmart gift card for $500 and that I would win over $1,000,000. He also asked for my name and social security number. I did not purchase the gift card or provide my personal information.

There was a Walmart on Facebook that said a person could win money if they clicked on the ad. So I clicked on the ad and then there was a multiple choice board and I clicked on that and it said I won a $500 Walmart gift card. Then it took me to the next page to give my information because they said it was a $1.99 fee for shipping the gift card. I used my credit card instead of my debit card to be safe. About an hour later, I got a text message from my bank and they said they are expecting fraudulent activity because there was a $149.99 charge on my account. The bank said they would take the charge off but they denied the claim because the fraudulent business had too much of my personal information to do anything. They recommended I call the company and request a refund. I talked with Jamie and he told me the best they can do was give me $75.00. I said this is not ok what you are doing and that you are stealing money from people. I said you should give me my full money back. When I told him I was going to call the BBB, he said they would not give me anything back.

This morning I received a call from someone that said they were from Proctor & Gamble. They said I had been awarded a large sum of money. They said I would have to pay state taxes on the money but not federal taxes. They asked me to confirm my mailing address and I did. They said they would be sending a check. They provided claim # MX0L94351 and said I would need to call 866-978-6038 to claim it.

I received a call and the person said I was eligible for a program with Spectrum and Target. He said If I paid $440 for my first 8 months for service then I would only pay $57 for 3 years. He also said if I paid right away I would receive a Spectrum visa card for $130. I purchased 2 Target gift cards in the amount of $220 each and gave them the numbers from the cards. He said that everything went through. Then I received a call today that there was an issue with cards. I was told that Walmart, Target and Sam's Club were holding their cards and I would need two additional cards from a different Target for the same amounts. I said I couldn't do it without getting my first $440 back. He said I had to purchase new  gift cards for the same amount first, and also said they would issue another $130 gift card for my inconvenience. He said I had to do it now. Then he became rude because he said I raised my voice. He also threatened to suspend my service for Spectrum. When he said this was the only way I could resolve the issue I became suspicious. I received a text message that were canceling my Spectrum account immediately and I would receive a bill for $500 auto pay for not correcting the issue. I've never signed up for autopay with Spectrum. I called Spectrum and they verified that it was a scam. I called the person back and told them I contacted the ScamPulse.com and they said I was dumb for missing out on all this money.

I was shopping online at Walmart.com. I clicked on a pop up ad for a free tablet. I took a survey using my Varo card and paid for s&h, $7.95. Then beautifulknitsewing came up and said I ordered $7.95. I contacted beautifulknits and they said they would retract it, but also tried to get me to agree to something else. I contacted Varo card and they told me to lock it, but they still got in 3 weeks later - when I found another debit on my Varo card from Earthbreeze for $12.90.
