"Michael Anderson" called me today... for starts the guy called me from a private number, first said he was from Publisher Clearing, then went on about how i won 600,000 dollars,and a Mercedes, even ask me to pick from three colors. I inquired on how i won, and he replied that i was "randomly selected". i was so confused, i asked again where we was calling from, then started talking about taxes, then said hes from the federal reserve board of income tax... ummm the federal reserve of education?? well I went over to the trust ol' internet, while on the phone and did some research,  and that would be called the IRS in america, and you never win with those people.. lol so I asked him to provide the companie's website that he was calling from, epic fail! I hung up, he called back, asking if I want to claim my prize or and did i want it to be televised, I played dumb to get more information, He then, went on to tell me to go to walmart to get the green dot card and call him when i have it, gave me this NUMBER 878 454 6595. (why would an american company with taxes,have a out of country number???) dont fall for the scam

They're not American. They are from Jamaica and it's not their fault, the economic condition they are stuck in. 100 of out dollars in 10000 if theirs and they use it for housing materials, furniture, shoes, etc. people so what they gotta do and everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.

BEWARE PCH- 318-219-5591, JAMAICA 876-488-1331---------its a SCAM

We received a call from :("PCH" for winning 2.5mil,in the form of a cashiers check, 500,000 cash, 5,000 a month for life and a 2014 BMW. To claim our prizes, we had to put $399.00 on a greendot card, told we weren't, actually having to pay anything that we could keep the card except then after waiting a few hours, suddenly they're asking for a $500 card. too little, too late we realized we had been victims of a scam. my husband and I are disabled with two children, instead of a dream come true, it turned to a horrific nightmare.

My wife just got the 2.5 mil and a benz call.  She was excited but nothing in life is free.  So be on the lookout they are still at it.  

Yes, these low life Scum Buckets called me also, and I did not answer the phone...People will do ANYTHING TO STEAL in today's world (Your ID, Your Bank Account, SS #, ETC). The morals in America have gone down the toilet due to infiltration of people that have NO MORALS!!! I am from the old school era where you were taught by Parents & at School, that stealing was a sin, and the penalty would be greater then the crime. DO NOT answer any calls that you do not recognize the number for. I have caller ID, and when the phone rings if I do not recognize the #, I do not answer. If it is a legitimate call they will leave a message

Said he was from ups. My phone showed Jamaica! Obviously a scam.

I wish I would've saw this before I fell for it. He got me for 100.00 never again. I kind of went for it because I did remember entering the contest. But never again. He kept calling me ensuring that it wasn't a scam, I told him to stop calling me and I block him from my phone. He may have got me this time but never again.

My mom got a phone call today June 10, 2013 .. She was really excited came to me purse keys in hand to buy the green dot card. I looked real quick found these stories so asked to speak to the manager a woman gets on the phone "Amy brown" I asked to verify my info. She did but as I asked more simple questions the guy gets on the phone very impatient at this time he was speaking over me would not let me ask questions. I told him look its 7am I'm just waking up let me speak to my daughter he said hurry up. I said can I get Amy brown (he gave me the 2nd number ) a man answered I asked for Amy brown he said hold on .. The same man gets on the phone said this is Amy brown so I hung up. The same number calls me back ask for my mom I said no there's no Gloria here he said I'm calling from PCH & you won I asked to verify my info he hung up on me.

Way To Go!!!..Glad You  Turn The Tricks On Them!!!

Dude! Same thing happened to me! Same number calls my cell today, May 10, 2013, and tells me I was 2nd place in something and I won 6.5 million dollars and a 2013 Mercedes Benz! He told me to go get a green dot moneypak card and put $295 on it. So he called me back 15 mins later and asked for the card #...I gave him the wrong number. He kept asking me to repeat the number like 50 times buthe puts the manager on the phone. The manager asked for the 16 digit number when a moneypak only have 14 digits! WTF! PCH surprise you at your door step! NOT OVER THE PHONE or FROM JAMAICA! That number's area code is from Jamaica! Idiots! They said my card is invalid so go get a refund and I will have my refund in 20 mins...moneypak takes 9 to 10 business days to refund and they send it through the mail as a check! Caught' em!

says his name is Michael Anderson and that he was with Clearinghouse Publishers and stated that I had won 2nd place in the amount of 2.5 million !!! He gave me a check # 00751880201 and conf # b1202  and the # he told me to call back to is 876-568-1019 ext 5

I recieved a call from this number today 1/30/13 and he told me the same thing.  I won a car and was the 2nd place winner of $1.5 million and would recieve it at my house today.  I also had to go to the nearest Wal-Mart or CVS and by a green dot money pack card and needed that and my id to claim my prize.  I challenged the original caller for a while and then the manager came on the phone.  He called me by someone elses name.  I asked him how I won if he didn't know who I was.  So he asked me for my name and I hung up.  They called back two more times and I let the phone ring.

I got a call from this number with a person stating I won 1.5 million dollars - second place in the Publisher's Clearing House in a random raffle.  I asked him if I could put him on hold and he hung up immediately afterwards.  Definite scam.

KML!!!!! I just got a called that claimed to be from the Publishers Clearing House and claimed to have won 2.5 million and a Pearl White Mercedes ? Benz. But the guy wanted me to go to Wal-Mart and get a Green Dot card then put $125 on the card for to give the card number to the government to confirm my winnings and to get the tax deduction on the winnings and my $125 was going be reimbursed once I get my winnings . Only reason I stayed on the phone with the clown because I knew I had been on PCH before and then I wanted to see what BS he was going tell me. So u know the person I am I had to let him have it. I told him that I knew this was a scam and that they shouldn?t be calling people like that and scamming. I said people already out here having it hard getting by?. (I gave yall the clean version but I cursed like a sailor and I haven?t been there in a long time.) People please don?t be fool for these Scams because they have all kinds out there. if it too good to be true more than likely it?s not true? I knew it had to be BS because I didn?t get excited when he announced that I won? Phil 4:19 says But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus? So I?m looking at it like this if it true I?m still not missing because what?s for me I?ll wait until God supply it for me .

I just received a phone call from Mr. Charles Gonzales telling me I was a winner of the PCH. I just needed to take down this information go to CVS or Walmart and purchase a "Green Dot Money Pack Scratch Card and if Walmart asked why I was purchasing this card tell them none of their business. That in it's self raised my eyebrows, I then started to play alone with him. I told him he was about to give me a heart attack and that I had been playing PCH for many years. Now knowing that PCH do not contact you by phone, I knew this was a scam,  I am writing this to let you know that if you play PCH they will send you an e-mail letting you know about SCAMS. Read the e-mail and you will not be scamed by these devils. Have a wonderful day.

just received a call from this number claiming to be MICHAEL ANDERSON general manager of publisher's clearing house. Mr. Anderson (with his Jamaican accent) stated that I had just won 27 million in the power ball 2 Benz, a pearl white and a jet black and that I would be receiving the winnings at approximately 12:00 pm, it was already 1:32 pm.  Then he said, oh madam, my mistake I meant 3:00 pm sharp!  He told me to go and purchase a green dot scratch off card and something about loading $650.00 to pay for back taxes.  He was insistent that he wasn?t playing us for fools and that he wasn?t trying to insult our intelligence.  Then we asked him why couldn?t we pay the taxes with the winnings?  He claimed it was illegal to be traveling with an unpaid registered check?.right!  We said that we?re going to wait till 3:00pm for the delivery of the Benz (we didn?t want to miss it) then MR. ANDERSON in all of his American-ness, yelled at us because we wanted to wait, ?you go and wait? and hung up.  AWESOME FOREIGN SCAMS!

JUST RECIEVED A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER ON MY CELL. HE SAID I JUST WON 2.5 MILLION AND A NEW BENZ FROM PUBLISHER'S CLEARING HOUSE. I TOLD HIM I WANTED MY MONEY IN SMALL BILLS AND MY CAR FRESHLEY WASHED SAID HE WILL BE AT MY HOUSE AT 4:30 TO DELIVER AND HE ASK FOR MY ADDRESS, SO I GAVE HIM THE ADDRESS TO THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT.

I just received a call on my cell phone from this number saying I had won 2.5 Million from Publisher's Clearing House.  I knew it was a scam, but played along to find out what they wanted.  After telling me that "Gordon Brown" would be delivering my check and that he was in a town about 25 miles away (He actually did his research and used a town close by!!).  He told me that Mr. Brown would be at my door within 30 minutes and that I needed to go to Wal-Mart and get a Green Dot Visa card to pay $125 for the S&H fee (or I could go to Western Union).  I told him that I couldn't leave because my nearest Wal-Mart was too far away and I didn't want to miss my millions LOL!! - I even asked why couldn't I just give Mr. Brown $125 in cash when he delivered my check!!  HAHAHA.  He then got very angry with me and told me this wasn't a joke and he was getting off the phone since I didn't believe him.  I told him his scam wasn't working and not to call back and take my number off his list.  BEWARE OF THIS SCAM!!!

RECEIVED CALL TODAY ON CELL, SAID HE WAS WITH PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE AND WE WON 4.5 MILLION.  HE STATED OUR CITY AND STATE, AND WANTED TO SCHEDULE A TIME TO COME BRING OUR MONEY.  THANKS TO THIS SITE AND THOSE WHO POST, I DIDN'T START SPENDING MY WINNINGS. (LOL)

excerpt from FTC CONSUMER ALERT
A Dozen Ways to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it?s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:

Legitimate sweepstakes don?t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.


If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it?s not a prize at all.

I just received a phone call from a man named "Ray Golden" claiming to be from Publisher's Clearing House. "Mr.Golden" informed me that I had won 4.5 million dollars and a BMW and I would receive them today and to go purchase a Green Dot Money Pak card and load it with $80; that is how I would receive my tax-free money.  When I asked "Ray" where he was from he told me Pennsylvania but he was in Las Vegas on 303 Carson St. I said " Well, Mr. Golden, I just love that accent...what's your ethnic background, IF you dont mind me asking?" He told me "Native American". (inserts eye roll).....how many Native American do YOU know named "Ray" that sounds like he just learned the english language YESTERDAY?! Please beware of this scam!

This jerk calls my cell and states that he is from a clearing house and that I won something, WHAT A IDIOT this person needs to get a job instead of scamming people,,,,, BEWARE .............

I received a call from that number and the guy said he was from Publisher's Clearing House.  I told the guy he was calling on my cell phone, and he was using my minutes.  The guy said, so what if I'm calling your cell phone YOU BI***.  I hung up.

I received a cal from that number and the guy told me that I won $6.5 million  and a brand new BMW that will be delivered to me the same day but he asked me to buy a green dot moneypak card in order to get the prizes and call back as soon as I get the card. I figured out right away that way a scam. Be careful of that number.

I got a call from this number twice on 01/10/2012. I knew it was a scam and played along, I got the first caller in 3 lies and then he hung up. The 2nd caller was the best, I did the same thing with him but this time he told me "YOU SUCK" before he hung up on me. I just I would share something that made my day.

Got a random call from this number. Said they were from some kind of international thing. After telling them they had the wrong number, they called back later. Did a bit of research on the number: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-876-481-6845/6
