Publisher’s Clearing Hose

Deborah –

Victim Location 99212

Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

Call came in 8:28 am May 28, 2019 Identified as Publisher’s Clearing House and that I was a sweepstakes winner of a main prize. I was

given a identity number 9521US and was told to call them at a certain number and ask to speak to Todd Sloan at my caller id number.

They answered with just a "Hello" and I said I was calling in regard to a PCH sweepstake prize. He said he was the PCH prize manager

and they needed some info from me to verify who I was. When I gave him the 521US he said "okay your first name is…..". and he was right. At that point I didn’t give him any more info but said "I’ve talked to the ScamPulse.com and we know you are a scam so don’t ever call me again!" At that

point he hung up and so did I. Incidentally, He said the prize was approved by "The Federal Trade Commission and Certified by the US Govt."

It was a smooth production and probably will fool some older adult, but I hope not. I’m 94, but not easily fooled.
