Got unwanted call from 631-770-5933?
Got a call identifying themselves as publishers clearing house. did not let them get far enough to get account information or anything, however, unfortunately I did respond in the affirmative to a few questions...which is a huge mistake I know...will have to make sure accounts are not used and I am not signed up for anything. beware
I received a call today from a Mr. Robert Johnson who stated he was the prize director for Publishers Clearinghouse Company and that I had been selected as the Grand Prize winner. He said I had won 2.5 million dollars and a 2020 Chevy Blazer SUV, as well as receiving $7,000 weekly for the remainder of my life. The phone number he called from was 631-770-5933. He talked forever and told me the prize patrol was in Missouri and on their way to my home to deliver a cashier's check for the 2.5 million. Then he began to explain I needed to register with an invitation card because the state of Missouri required a 1% tax on the money I'd be receiving and that PCH had paid the rest of the taxes. He wanted me to go to Walmart and he would walk me through the process. I started questioning him and he hung up on me. Please beware. These guys are very good and will trick many individuals, but they are only trying to get your money. They have nothing to give except hot air.
Received a call from this number claiming to be the "Publishers Clearing House". When I politely said that I wasn't interested, they started cursing at me, then said they wanted to shoot me between the eyes.
My Parent (elderly) was called that they won a new 2021 SUV and 2.5 million as part of Publishers Clearing House and to meet them in Wal-mart parking lot. Also appears that they wanted bank account and credit debit cards as well. We hopefully beat them at their game and blocked everything. Cancelled all accounts and notified authorities Hope they catch these people!
