A Lady named Debbie Holland called me and said she was the VP of Publisher’s Clearinghouse and that I had won 2.5 Million dollars and a 2019 Lincoln. I was told that in order to receive my winnings I needed to register at UPS or FedEx and send $1880 to Mary Reed at 208 Lake Park Dr Apt 102 Oakland Park, FL. I realized it was a scam at this point and did not send any money or register with either company.

He knew my name and my husband’s name. He kept calling me by name. He told me to put my husband. He asked us to open an account so he could deposit the money.He was persistent that I won. He wanted us to go to the bank. He just wanted our account number. I said you are not telling the truth, He said yes I am, yes I am. He said he couldn’t deliver the money and car until I told him where to deposit the money. We told him to call back after 4pm, he didn’t call back. He had a foreign accent. At first I couldn’t understand him at all.

I got a call on 11.9.17, from Andy Goldberg at Publisher’s Clearinghouse saying I won 2.5 million and a 2017 Pearl Lincoln. He told me I would have to pay taxes on it, and if I paid them $2500, they said we know you have all this money in the bank. Since you’ve decided not to accept the prize you still have to pay half the taxes on it, and we will report you to the IRS. And they would lock up my accounts and seize my property. Two men called with Indian accents. I talked to them both at the same time. I told them I would report them to the FBI, and they said go ahead you are going to be in more trouble than you are already in. They were mad at me because I didn’t agree with them.
