Got unwanted call from 608-999-6821?
Had the same experience. It’s a hoax!!
Got a call from this number claiming to be Publishers Clearing House. George Fisher. When I called back I asked to verify it was Publishers Clearing House because it sounded like a bunch of BS to me and they hung up!! DONT FALL FOR IT!!!!
I live in FL and received 2 calls from a Wisconsin number-George Fisher claiming I had won 2.5 million from PCH; he also had other real information which I denied. He called again this morning at 9:00am wanting to know if I was ready to provide the payment information for the IRS, FDIC, BBD and Publishers Clearing House, I told him i was still sleeping. He said I would have to make a check or electronic transfer for each of these for $500 each a total of $2,500 before I could receive 2 1/2 million dollars next friday. He is to call again... FRAUD! He said it was a secret, however, we are notifying our local LEO authority.
So thankful for sites like this! All I had to do was punch in the phone number. My brother (when I told him) told me he contacted PCH and they said they will NEVER “call” a winner! They will either send a certified letter or drive up in their van with balloons and a check for you. Good t’know. Whew!
Got a call from David Meyers PCH, saying I had won a large sum of money and it would be delivered soon. He gave me is badge number 3561 and a conformation number 7507545403VA. His phone number was 608-999-6821. He wanted to know my bank, which I refused to give him. I told him it was a scam and he immediately hung up. 8/21/2020
Received a call on my landline about 2 hours ago from a David Myers (badge number 3561) claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House. He said my mom won a third place prize of $421,000 and that it would be awarded to her on May 29 at 11:30 a.m. He said someone would call back in 20 minutes with more information.... When no call came, I contacted my bank and PCH, who confirmed the call was not from them.
Received the same thing. His price went down to $2500! Tough times I guess. However, there was also a bogus IRS payment for W-2 processing and a payment for FDIC insurance. The FDIC, really?! I'm reporting this to the attorney general for Wisconsin, this is the phone number: 608-999-6821, David Meyers.
Received call on my landline this afternoon from a David Myers who said he was calling from Publisher's clearing house, that I had won a big prize and they wanted to deliver it Friday, would I be home? He had my old address, said this was from an old entry and that I should have received a letter which I had not. I asked him how much the check would be for and he said $21,000. Before giving my current address I asked for Publisher Clearing House number where I could confirm all this and he gave me this number, saying they would transfer me back to him. So bogus as I suspected as this number is not in NY as he said it was and not anywhere close to the real phone numbers for PCH.
