Sweepstakes
I received a call from Debra Holland at Publishers Clearinghouse Company. They have been in business since 1953. She stated that I won 10.5 million dollars and a AMG Mercedes. She asked how I felt. I told her I did not believe her. She asked if I had seen the mailings they sent to me? I told her I threw them away. She said they got my information from magazines that I had ordered that were through Publishers. (I was doubtful). She asked what I would do with my winnings and stated she hoped it would be used wisely. She asked me to state three good things I would do with the money. I told her three things. I kept repeating that I doubted this was for real. She stated that my name was picked out of 20 million names. That a Mr. Michael Collins, the controller, brought my name to her as the winner. She also stated that Mr. Michael Collins will want to speak with me that he would be so happy about me winning. She asked me if my husband was home, that he had to be on the phone also. I told her he was outside but she insisted he needed to be on the phone with me. My husband was very skeptical from the moment he got on the phone. He told her he did not believe her right away. Debra went on to explain everything she had told me. She went on and asked how many children we had. She wanted to know if they lived in the same house or state. I did answer those questions. She stated the rules of how they don't follow how the T.V. portrays the PCH vehicle just showing up at your house. That there is a van and company people in town staying at a hotel close by. I asked her why they would be in town already. She stated they just don't show up without calling the winner first. She said they need to be close to pick up flowers, deliver the check and $500,000 dollars cash to us. She stated she needed to call them to see if they were ready to deliver our items. If she lost us she stated I should call back at 15164998748 or that she would call back in 5 minutes or less. Before she disconnected she stated we could not tell anyone until we received our gifts. She also asked us if we wanted cameras, neighbors or family members when the PCH truck arrived or wanted to keep it private. I said private. She said most members are going private now. She asked me if she told me the color of the car, that is as Cherry Red. She disconnected after a few seconds. She did call back. She stated that Mr. Michael Collins wanted to congratulate me and speak with me about what will happen next. Before she disconnected again to get Mr. Michael Collins on the phone, Debra explained about the money. How it was tax free. That PCH money has been tax free since 1980 that all winning members were exempt. That a lot of winners complained about all the taxes being taken out of their winnings, That they are privately owned now and can give the money to whom they want. (Red Flag again). She stated that we would have to license and insure our new Mercedes and if we understood that. We stated "Yes" we understood. She insisted she heard both of us say we understood. (My husband and I thought that we should not be saying "Yes" because they probably were recording our answers). Debra also stated that we would have to pay $4200 for the taxes on the vehicle to the IRS before it was delivered. (Big Red Flag!!). She disconnected us. She tried calling back 2 more times. On the third try I answered the phone. She seemed upset and asked why I didn't pick up the other two times. I told her we were busy with our Autistic son. She seem okay with that answer. She then said Mr. Michael Collins would be calling. She hung up. Sure enough the next call was from Mr. Michael Collins. He congratulated us on winning 10.5 million and a Mercedes. He stated he worked for the company for 28 years. He wanted to know how we felt. We told him we did not believe any of this. Then my husband told him we would not be wiring you any money, paying taxes with a check or giving you any account numbers. Mr. Michael Collins hung up.

Publisher's Clearing House
My 75 year old father received a call yesterday from a man who said he was from Publisher's Clearing House. He told him he had won $2.5 million. He had to pay the IRS 1% or $925 in cash. He gave him a confirmation code. He told him to call 516-499-5512. My father called and spoke to Andy Goldberg, who had an accent. They have called back.
