Scam pretending to be "Publishers Clearing House".
Anyone asking for "taxes" or "fees" so you can get some "prize" is running a scam. Most recent complaints for this type of scam have pointed to Jamaica or Canada.
I just received a call like that today. He told me that I've won 2.5million dollars and a car for me to go Walgreens or Walmart and get a money tax scratch card he said $400 I told him I dnt have $400 but when it's all said and done the stores have never heard of that
They are suppose to be on there way here right now. lol I only won $950,000 and a Mercedes benz.! I knew it was to good to be true at first but they swore up and down it was no joke. Then the guy I had to call on the phone mentioned the card thing at the end. I told him the same thing you did. How can they think they will get away with it. Maybe they wont show because I only have $1 in my wallet and $20 in the bank and am unemployed. ..... I told them that when I have the cash in hand i'd be happy to buy a $400 card. lol What a day.
My guys were William Jackson and the truck driver is John Baker. Both had same accent. The truck driver John will be with a lady name Brenda Smith. haha. Did they tell you guys that they would be arriving at your house? They aren't getting in! or seeing any identification. I'm so glad I didn't believe them. Id be so depressed.... lol It is a CROCK.....!!!
Just got the 2nd call for this. Millions plus a Merced Benz. Have to pay 409 and go to Walgreens in Michell SD. When my husband asked if this was SCAM David Wilson he replied /fyou and hung up.
I got a call saying I won big money from Todd Sloane and he told me to get a money pac to and it would cost 399.00 to get it at Wal-Mart and I told him that I don't have that kind of money and I won't get the card
scammers scam people by their soci number, so dont give it out. the goverment uses moner pac card to pay taxes if you r far away so u can get scam from that card
what if you got a call saying that they were going to see you tonight but NEVER asked me for any money at all?????? this all happening after someone came in my back yard and putting my dog in a cage a few nights ago! YEA I CALLED THE POLICE!
For the past 3 days I have been harassed by a caller named Anthony McCoy-he keeps telling me I have won 12 million dollars and a new Mercedes Benz from the Megamillions Sweepstakes. When I told him I did not enter any such contest, he said they were associated with Publishers Clearing House. He wanted me to buy a Green Do Money Pak scratch card for the amount of $250.00, and then give him the code for it. He also wanted me to give him 1500.00 tax money before I received the prize, as the money could not be released unless I did so. I have not done any of those things, but he keeps harassing me because he says he will get 89,000 dollars commission when I get my money. I hate talking to him-how do I get him to leave me alone? Can I call the police about this? The only thing my caller ID says is private caller, and my son's phone says the same thing, so I don't know it's him until too late. I am in Florida. When he is not available, the phone is answered by a women with an accent-not exactly British-Irish-? I don't know-it's hard to tell. I am going to call the police if he calls again. The phone says LV-I assumed it was Las Vegas-maybe it's Lebanon Virginia as in that other complainr?
I reported them to PCH. The FBI is tracking them. Hopefully, they will be arrested soon. Such bad karma for them and their families!!

I got the same Jamaican Mr. Robinson. Required a $350 Green dot money pak. insisted I get everything taken care of today and when I called him out on it being a complete scam, he "offered" to put the money towards a charity. thanks for 2 minutes wasted of my life. I was so confused because this past month or two i for the first and only time entered that PCH on a whim. I hope PCH isn't selling that entry data.

I am being harassed by some foreign sounding persons...Mary Williams and Tony King. They both mentioned "Mega Millionaire" and Publishers Clearing House. I have entered Publishers Clearing House since 2010, but I also know their people come to the door. They told me I won $250,000...much less then the other potential targets. The same "Wal-Mart go and buy a green money card" for $100.00 to show the UPS, State Marshall and attorney that will be riding with the UPS guy. Good thing I am a skeptical person.......
