Sister sent $200,000 to a man claiming she won $18 million

My sister got involved with a guy calling himself Richard Weiss from Publishers Clearing House. He told her she won $18 million. She sent him a cashier's check for $200,000, I assume for taxes.

She's still in contact with him through WhatsApp and texts. She thinks she's getting a presentation of an expensive car plus the money. I've tried to talk to her about it but she won't, says it's none of my business. I really think she's being set up to lose everything she has.

His number is 727-501-5193.

Someone called saying I won two million from Publishers Clearing House

I got a call from a guy named James Lauren. He said I could collect two million dollars from Publishers Clearing House. He said I just needed to pay $1,500 to get it.

He said his number was (501) 427-5435. It didn't make sense that I would have to pay money to get prize money. I didn't send anything.

Phone call saying I won money from Publishers Clearing House

I got a call on my phone from (910) 312-4053. The person said I won money from Publishers Clearing House. They told me I needed to buy MoneyPak gift cards first and then give them the numbers off the cards. I ended up losing $210 doing this.

After I sent the gift card numbers I never heard anything back about any prize money. It was all just a way to get the card numbers from me. I want to report this so it does not happen to someone else.

Check for $9,950.13 to pay fees on an $850k prize

I didn't contact anyone but I know this is a scam. It's the old Publishers Clearing House thing. They sent me a check for $9,950.13 that was supposed to help pay fees for claiming $850k.

The phone number on it is (718) 530-5627 and the address is 2014 Capital Ave ste 100-4020, Sacramento, CA 95811. I didn't lose any money but I wanted to report it.

Call saying I won 10 million and a truck

Some guy called me saying he was from Publishers Clearing House. Told me I won $10,00000.00, 10 million dollars and a new pickup truck. He had the wrong address so I gave him the correct one. He said the award committee was on the way.

Then he said he needed my ID. After that he wanted me to purchase a Green Dot card for over $400. That's when I laughed at him and told him to **** off and hung up. His email was [email protected].

Call saying I won 2.5 million and a car

I got a call saying I won $2.5 million and a car. They gave me an ID number and told me to call another number to claim my prizes from Publishers Clearing House.

When I called, the agent asked for my personal info. He said it was needed to get my gifts. I asked him why and he got kind of agitated. He kept saying he needed the info and an account to receive the deposit. I told him I wasn't providing anything and asked for a check instead. Then more excuses came up. He kept making promises if I just gave him the info. The agitation worried me so I hung up. I didn't give any personal info. Felt like I was about to be scammed so I didn't pursue it further.

Phone call saying I won a Mercedes but then they wanted taxes

I was playing a game on my phone and then I got notified I was a second place winner in a small lottery. The prize was a Mercedes. Then they started telling me I needed to pay IRS, FTC, special taxes and fees. It was $70,000 they wanted from me. The address they gave me was 7740 Flying Cloud Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. I don't understand why I would have to pay all these taxes and fees just to get a prize I already won. It doesn't make sense to me.

Phone call saying I won millions and a Mercedes

I got a call from a guy named Sam Saylor saying he was with Publishers Clearing House. He had an accent. He told me I won several million dollars and a Mercedes Benz that would be delivered to my door. He said it would be just like what you see on TV.

Then he said I needed to pay $1000 for NY taxes first. He asked how much money I had. I told him $400. He said I could go to Dollar General or CVS and get an Amazon gift card. I've never bought a gift card before and didn't even know how to do it. I told him I don't have a car until my husband gets home. He told me to walk. He was really slick and desperate to get my money. I wanted to report this to help others.

Phone call saying I won 8.5 million and a Lincoln

James Carter with Publishers Clearing House called me and said I won $8.5 million and a new Lincoln. He even said I could pick the color I wanted. Then he told me to go to Walmart and put $499 on a gift card and call him back with the card numbers. He said it was for some fee so he could send me the check.

I told him I didn't have the money. So he said just get $100 and he would send me a check for $10,000. I told him this sounded like a scam and he swore on his life and on the lives of his wife and children that it wasn't. He wouldn't stop calling me so I had to block his number.

Call saying I won 100 million from Publishers Clearing House

Someone called me from (478) 465-7106 saying I won 100 million dollars on Publishers Clearing House. They said they would be by the house in a little bit to give me my prize money.

But then they told me I just needed to go get them an Amazon gift card for $100 first. That didn't make any sense to me. If I really won that much money why would I need to buy them a gift card.

The address they gave was Lubbock, TX. I didn't lose any money but I wanted to report this.

Call saying I won a PCH drawing for New Mexico

Someone called me from (929) 265-2310 and told me I was a winner in the Publishers Clearing House drawing for New Mexico. I didn't enter anything like that and it felt off right away. They were trying to get information out of me, I think. I didn't lose any money but I wanted to report it.

Call from David Williams about Publishers Clearing House

I got a call from David Williams at Publishers Clearing House. He gave me a bunch of information and told me what to do. I wrote it all down like he said.

Turned out it was a scam. I ended up losing a $30 Amazon gift card over it. The address I have is in NY.

Email saying I won 850k and a vehicle

Got an email from [email protected] saying I won $850,000 and a vehicle from PCH. I never signed up for Publishers Clearing House and I know they don't call or email people like that.

The email just came out of nowhere. I didn't lose any money but I wanted to report it so other people don't fall for it.

Video call saying we won PCH but couldn't see their face

We got a video call from Publishers Clearing House saying we won $3.8 million and a new 2026 Ford Truck. The problem was we couldn't see their face on the call. That seemed strange to me.

They asked what bank we use and said they would pay off two of our credit cards too. Then they told us to call them back later today to pay a $200 fee. I'm supposed to call them back but something feels off about the whole thing.

Hat order I never placed from Publishers Clearing House

I got a notice about an order I never made. It says on August 4 2026, order ID PF170015629 for a CLASSIC DAD HAT Yupoong 6245 CM in White/One Size. They had it coming from Publishers Clearing House.

I didn't order this. I don't know why they would send me something like that. The email came from [email protected] which seemed odd. There was also an address listed as 217 Wrangler Drive Coppell Texas, Coppell, TX 75019.

I didn't lose any money over this since I didn't pay for anything. Just strange they would have my info for something I never bought.

Letter saying I won a prize from Publishers Clearing House but it felt off

I got this letter in the mail saying I won a big prize from Publishers Clearing House. It looked real at first but something felt strange about it. They wanted me to call a number and pay some fees before I could get my prize.

I didn't send any money because it didn't make sense. I never entered any sweepstakes with them that I can remember. The letter had their website google.com on it which I know isn't their real site. No company name was really clear on the letter either just that website.

I just wanted to report this so other people know. I didn't lose any money but someone else might fall for it.

Phone call saying I won money but had to pay $350 first

Somebody called me saying they were from Publishers Clearing House. Said I needed to register at a Dollar General or CVS store by paying $350 and then I’d get $25 million and a Mercedes. They asked me stuff like am I married, do I work, do I believe in God.

Also said I’d get $5,000 in my bank account every month until I die. It just didn’t make sense. I didn’t pay anything but the whole thing felt off. No company name on the caller ID or anything.

Phone call saying I won 2 million dollars from Publishers Clearing House

Got a call from a guy named Patrick Allen. He said he was from Publishers Clearing House in Florida. The number was (904) 729-8986.

He told me I won 2 million dollars in the lottery. Just like that. Out of nowhere. It didn't feel right at all.

No money lost or anything but still. Just seemed off.

Fifty calls in a month from PCH with nobody on the line

About a month ago I started getting calls from PCH on my cell phone. Since then I've gotten at least fifty of them. Yesterday I finally answered but there was nobody on the line.

Yesterday alone I got fifteen calls. Today it's not even 9am and I've already gotten three. I tried blocking the calls but they just keep coming.

Told I won 5.5 million from Publishers Clearing House but got nothing

I got a message saying I won the Publishers Clearing House prize. They said it was 5.5 million dollars, a new car, and 10,000 a month for life. I was really excited.

They asked me to send money first to get the prize. I ended up paying 2000 dollars. After I paid, nothing showed up. No check, no car, no monthly money.

I never got what they promised. I just lost the 2000 I sent. The website they used was whatsapp and the address was in New York, NY. I don’t know what else to do.
