PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE SCAM 09 18 2010
Saturday, September 18, 2010, I RECEIVE A CALL FROM A LOCAL 760 PHONE NUMBER ( CALLER ID: "AVALON" ) 760/469-2028. A MALE WITH A VERY BROKEN ACCENT AND BAD CONNECTION, STATED THAT I HAD WON A CHECK FOR $85,000 FROM THE PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE AND ASKED IF I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL. SINCE I HADN'T GONE TO MY MAILBOX IN A FEW DAYS, I STATED I MAY HAVE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, HE SAID THAT UPS TRIED TO CONTACT ME ( WHICH THEY HADN'T ) AND THAT THE CHECK IS PAYABLE AT BANK OF AMERICA, BUT THE BANK WANTS ME TO INSURE THE FUNDS AND THAT I MUST PAY THE UPS PERSON $799.00 IN CASH TO GET THE CHECK. THE $799.00 WILL BE REFUNDED TO ME WITHIN 24 HOURS. I ASKED HIM IF THERE IS A NUMBER I CAN CALL TO VERIFY THIS, AND HE GAVE ME ( A PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE ) PHONE NUMBER 719-371-8944. SO AFTER I HUNG UP, I CALLED THAT NUMBER. THE MAN AT THAT NUMBER ANSWERED "PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE" AND QUICKLY TALKED IMMEDIATELY TO ME ABOUT THE WHOLE "WINNINGS." IN FACT, HE SAID THE CHECK WAS FOR $85,000 AND CASH IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $799 WHEN UPS ARRIVES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO RELEASE THE CHECK. I FINALLY HAD TO HANG UP ON HIM, SINCE HE WAS SO INSISTENT THAT "…WAS I READY…" FOR UPS TO COME TODAY. AFTER HANGING UP, I CALLED THE PALM DESERT, CAIFORNIA SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND REPORTED THE WHOLE TELEPHONE SCAM. I ALSO CALLED THE PALM SPRINGS UPS COMMERCIAL CENTER OFFICE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT, TOO. "DAVE" AT THE UPS CENTER STATED UPS NEVER HAS C.O.D. DELIVERIES FROM THE PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE, AND CERTAINLY NOT FOR $799.00! THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT DETECTIVE FOLLOWED UP ON THE PHONE NUMBERS I GOT FROM THE (SUPPOSED) PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE CALLERS, AND STATED THAT THE 760/469-2028 NUMBER WAS FROM A "THROW-AWAY" PREPAID CELL PHONE AND HE SAID THAT NO ONE ANSWERED THE 716/371-8977. BY THE WAY, WHEN I HAD CALLED THE GUY BACK AT THE 760/469-2028 NUMBER, THE ANSWER WAS AUTOMATED AND TOTALLY IN SPANISH. JUST BE AWARE, PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE DOES NOT ASK FOR ANY MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR WINNING THEIR SWEEPSTAKES.
BEWARE OF ANY CALLS FROM 760/469-2028 OR 716/371-8977 - - - THEY ARE A SCAM! DON'T GIVE ANY INFORMATION OUT TO THE CALLERS AND REPORT ANY SUCH ACTIVITY TO YOU LOCAL POLICE OR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT!
