I’ve been called several times by a John Cooper saying I have won 2.1 million dollars and a Mercedes. All I needed to do was get some Walmart gift cards for $2500 to pay for the taxes. When I started to ask him some questions he forwarded me to his supervisor Debra Hollands who told me the same info. It didn’t seem legit to me so I called ScamPulse.com who told me it’s a scam.

I just got a call from Victor Fernandez saying he was with Publishers Clearinghouse and that I had won 1.9 million dollars and a Mercedes in a blind draw they had. They wanted to deliver the check and car today, but I first had to pay $900 some dollars for fees. I said I would call them back. He gave me a number and then I called the attorney general’s office to check it out. While on hold with the attorney general’s office, they called again and when I told them who I was on hold with, they hung up on me. I guess I’m no longer a winner.

On Tuesday someone called me saying they were with Publishers Clearinghouse saying I had won 5 million dollars and a 2019 Mercedes Benz. I asked lots of questions so we talked for a long time. At one point they offered to take me to the bank but then later said I could go to the bank myself and that I would need to draw out some money but they didn’t really say what for that they would tell me when I had gone to the bank. The man was very convincing and told me yesterday that that was the last night I could claim my funds. I had a relative with me who encouraged me to contact ScamPulse.com which I did and after hearing what had happened tole me it’s a scam.

Earlier this morning I got a call from a Frank Logan saying I had won the 2nd prize drawing for Publishers Clearinghouse for 2 million dollars. This man who had a accent said I needed to go to Walmart and wire them $275.00 to a Barbara Barrymore in Cincinnati 45238 to cover some fees. That’s when I figured it was a scam.
