Winners International Sweepstakes Reviews

First, I received a call yesterday from a lady calling herself Mary ** from publishers clearing house stating I won $8.5 and a 2027 white Mercedes. After a little while of kind of messing with her, I told her I knew this was a ridiculous scam and she got pissed off at me and hung up the phone. Now today I received yet another call from a totally different outfit and this time it’s a man named Peter ** with Winners International and he also claims I won $8.5 million and a brand new car. All I have to do is given $500 for my prize.

I just received a call on Google voice saying I won 8.5 million dollars.... I heard birds outside and he said it wasn't a scam... He spelled my name correctly which further my suspicions. Do not trust him!!!

I got a call that I won $5.5 million. I was told the money was in an account in my name at the Federal Reserve Bank. Trying to figure out why I would need to pay taxes to the FDIC like they told me to get my winnings. They also told me that FDIC didn't stand for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. I asked them when the FDIC changed what they did given that this isn't what I learned when I took Money & Banking in school. (I can get my winning without paying these taxes if they wired the money into my account but if I wanted a check, I needed to pay fees. Thinking about opening an account with a small balance for when I get these types of calls...) I wonder if they'll be calling me back. They did say they will be mailing me info about this.

Got a call. You won $2 million dollars. Asked for sweepstakes award letter which I have attached below. It is obviously a scam as you can see by the letter. Can’t even spell company name correctly. Called by Jack ** fake name **. Miami Florida Beware

SCAM - Human Trafficking - rather engaging so not as obvious as most of the scams where they read from a script - got this call, and then several more like they can't lose my number once they start - I asked him if he was Human Trafficking & he started arguing about it.

SCAM-SCAM-SCAM. I was contacted by a John ** using Google voice # ** and claiming to represent Winners International. He provided me with a verification access number, a claim number, and a prize number saying I won a 8 million dollar certified check, $500,00 cash, $7,000 a month for 2 years and a new car worth $200,000. He asked me to verify my bank information. The next day a friend told me it was a scam and showed me how to look on the Internet to find thousands of other people scammed by Winners International. SCAM-SCAM-SCAM.

Was first contacted about 3 weeks ago by a man who identified himself as 'Tony'. No company name provided, only that I had won 3.5 million dollars, 7000 dollars bonus every other week for 17 months, and a BMW or cash equivalent. Have received calls on a daily basis since, the stories becoming ever more convoluted, the cash demands frequently changing, all related to various sorts of fees and insurance. Al payments to be sent to some small town outside Tuscaloosa, AL where the company offices are supposedly located.

I was contacted by a man calling himself David ** and I had won 55,000 dollars and gave me claim no. A photo ID of him and the cashier check of 55,000 in my name but I had to purchase a 250.00 dollar Amazon card to receive this check when they arrive at my door…Really!!!! NO it's a SCAM….

Claimed to be David **, I won 750 thousand dollars in a cashiers check, and a black BMW car plus 50.000 cash from bank of America, he wanted me to get a monetary scratch off card for 80.00, last time it was 480.00 card and he was Publishers Clearing House. He will give you all these numbers to convince you, like a confirmation number and a package number. He even tells you to call him back when you got the card, he will answer to. His number is **, he tries to be very convincing but don't be fooled. Plus PBS said they never call you if you won.

Called phone number given to me on voicemail, number is no longer operational!! ** Didn't leave any type of forwarding information to get in touch with them, in my opinion, NOT the best way to operate a public sweepstakes event!!
