"Private Caller" advised me that my name was randomly drawn to win $1.5 million from PCH in connection with the BBB, Walmart and Walgreen’s. I was to open a new bank acct. at one of 3 different banks the caller named, but I don’t bank at any of them, and then I was to call "Damien" at the (315) phone number, above, to provide that new bank acct. number for them to deposit all my winnings. I didn’t fall for it, and instead called the BBB.

I was contacted by someone using the profile of someone who workes for pch. The profile looked liget so I answered. They said I won but I needed to send $135. I told them I did not have that much but I did send them 30 plus 9 for fees for total of $39. Then an hour later someone else contacted me using a different profile again from pch they told me the first one was a scam. They then told me that I did win a prize but would have to send $300 to a merchant bank. I did not. The number for the second person is 1-702-602-3460 and he was supposedly from New york

Rec’d. a call from a supposed rep from PCH advising that I’ve won $1.7 million + a 2016 (?!?–why not 2017 or 2018??) GMC Denali. All I needed to do was purchase a "Registration Receipt" from Walmart for $485 and then call the "rep" back at 563-241-7551 for further instructions and the Prize Patrol will show up at my door with all my winnings. At that point I called the BBB to ask if this is a legitimate call. They advised it is not and also informed me that 876 is an area code from Jamaica
