I received a phone call at 7:30 am from Andy Goldberg from the Publisher Clearing House saying that I had come in second place in the current contest and would receive $1.9 million dollars. He requested that I go to my bank and someone from the Clearing House would meet me there to give me the money. I was to withdraw $4,500 so they could verify my account. They would return the money to my account immediately.

I was requested to stay on the phone. I took my husband to the bank with me. Once we were at the bank, we decided that that this was a scam so hung up the phone and drove home.

2nd Scammer’s #518-4058672

1/28/2025 Lady (Angie) called my mother, said she was sorry mom was scammed by a publisher’s clearing house scam last summer; that Angie is the CEO of the company and is going to make it right by awarding mom8.5 million dollars in prize money. Don’t have to pay taxes on it but can only get it in $7000 per month payments. Talked to mom several times throughout the week. We told mom it was a scam. Talked again on Friday 1/31/2025. Angie told mom to go to Dollar General and buy a $500 “green dot” scratch card. Mom did this and gave Angie the #s on the card. Angie called mom on Monday 2/3 and told her that it didn’t work, that the numbers must be wrong. Mom had been told by the bank that it was not a good thing to buy so mom told Angie to quit calling her.

The first # was for an Andrew Goldburg. He has called several times as well. He called yesterday Sunday 2/9 and said they were in centerville, Iowa and would bring it up today. Mom told him she would be gone until afternoon. He said to call him back when she got home. She called him just now and he said he was in centerville. She told him that it would take them all afternoon to get here. He told her they were close to her o, it would not take them long to get here. I got on the phone and said I was calling the BBB. He said yes then said he would be here soon with her money.

Voice sounds funny, doesn’t know where or how far it is to Iowa Falls (mom’s town). Many dumb comments made during all of the conversations.

They say I won 8.5 Million dollars and they want me to open a new bank account, so that they can send me a certified check to it. But they say to not trust anyone and to not tell anyone. To keep it private. They said they have to register it with FDIC . At least $37,000.00 and then I'll get the rest in 1-2 weeks. Is this legitament or not.?

The contest mentioned claims to raise money for Breast Cancer. Contestants are not allowed to see the amount of money raised by each contestant, not allowed to see how many votes each contestant has, not even allowed to see who other contestants are outside of their local group. There is no way to tell what place you truly are in, and how many votes others have. The proprietors continually ask you to buy votes without contestants having the knowledge of how far behind they may be from other contestants. I have never heard of a beauty pageant that doesn't allow a contestant to know who the other people are that they are competing against.

Entered my pet in a contest supposed to be for modern dog magazine. Paws charity. Thru DTCare (83-3344803) stated with each dollar donated you could buy votes for the pet of your choice and stated that the money would be donated to charity called paws. My boyfriend also purchased 10.00 for ten votes. I could not use my ten votes as my dog was entered. I was still charged the 10.00. They give you choices to purchase 10.00, 25.00, 50.00, 100.00 and more. Is this a scam? If i dont get my votes i want my money back!
