Winners International Sweepstakes Reviews

I was contacted by a David ** claiming to be the representative for Winners International Sweepstakes company. He provided me with a packet number, a claim ID number and the name of three sponsored banks that were sponsored this sweepstake Bank of America, Chase Bank and Wells Fargo. When I told him I didn't have a bank account he told me I could go to Dollar General or CVS and purchase a MoneyPak cash card for $500. And I would be receiving my $950,000 by today. David ** told me his badge number **. This is a scam. It should never cost you money to win money or have to pay taxes first before you receive your money. Scam all the way through.

I was contacted by John ** claiming to be with Winner's International stating that I had won 2.5 million dollars and a 2024 Mercedes Benz. All I would have to do since I am a senior citizen is send processing fees of $1100 and I would receive my money and car within 24 hours. They should be able to put these people in jail and make them pay us for the hassle. Born at night, just not last night. So, guess I won't be getting my 2.5 Million or new Mercedes since I didn't send them any money. Thanks for the reviews, I looked them up to make sure, and I was right, it is a SCAM! And he keeps calling even if I don't answer.

I was told by David William ** that I won 4.5 million and a Mercedes. He wanted social, place of birth and maiden name of my Mom. PCN number I was told not to share was pcn-**. Naturally I lied and didn't give correct info. He swore it wasn't a scam and didn't need money. Info hack. Sept 3rd 2024. Phone **.

I was contacted by Michael **, a representative (?) of Winners International, saying that I had won $2.5 million dollar certified check, $770;000 in cash and a new Mercedes. After I paid what I was told I had to pay for taxes. However, after Michael ** received the money, he constantly said he would deliver my prizes but continually lies as nothing has been delivered. I have blocked his contact on my phone. Will keep the messages until after I contact a lawyer regarding filing a lawsuit against Winners International, Michael ** and Omar **, the tow truck driver, for 3.5 million dollars each.

I was contacted by Daniel ** of Winners International and was told I had won 17m and a 2024 Mercedes. I needed to pay 8500 for registration fees and to get stamps from my state. I only paid 200 and wasted. I could pay balance after my money was deposited. Then that wasn't good enough that I had to pay all before I got my 'prize'. I told them no and that was end of it. They will not give me my 200.00 back..

Updated on 06/06/2024: On May 22 I was told that I had to pay $800 and my prizes would be delivered. However, on May 30, I had to pay an additional $800. Still no prizes. On June 6, Winners International demanded an additional $850. I told them that I wasn’t paying any more and do NOT contact me AGAIN unless they were delivering. Do NOT deal with this company or anyone claiming to be a representative of Winners International.

This is a scam. They get you to take money out of your bank to pay taxes on whatever you were suppose to get free. I was scammed for $1000.00… and now can't pay my bills. I am heartbroken and feel stupid for believing in them.

I received a call on Thur, Apr 11, 2024, from "Randy ** of Winner's International Corp." (He gave his phone number as **. However, the number on my cell came up as a "Private Number.") He said he received all of my private info from Publisher's Clearing House. Randy said I have won $12.5 million and a GMC Yukon, 1 year license, 1 year insurance, and 1 year free gas, plus $500,000 in an "electronic briefcase," and a trip to a Caribbean Island (St Vincent, Cuba, or the Bahamas).

This is a scam. BEWARE! Same story as everyone else. Do not fall for it! They will give you your name and address to appear official, but this is simply public information! If they ever call you, hang up and do not give them any personal information!

Call and Email a Bank of America check **. A financial lawyer named Alex ** from Jamaica calls from Cliff ** 10 million a year plus a new Mercedes. I did not give anyone money but they continue to call.

Have been called 8 times by these lowlifes and same thing each time, but a different person. "Did you get the letters informing you of your winnings?" Answer is always NO and if that is the case, send me the information via US Mail. Wanted me to pay the $125 documentation fee and I could be paid in either cash or cashier's check. Told him, "David" to send me a check. He got really upset and demanded I give him my email address to send me the F1 form for the taxes. Used an old email address and the names were not even correct! This is really annoying and is not legitimate. Please do not fall for this scam! They used a Bank of America 888 number!

I recently have been contacted by a Mr David ** claiming I have won 2.5 million and a brand new Ford 250 loaded. Mr ** gave me the directors name as Steve Munchkin and board of directors name as David Miller. Mr ** stated if I pay five hundred for storage of the money I have won I will receive the 2.5 million and the 2024 Ford 250. I have asked why would I pay any money if I won the money. He states because of storage fee and that would include all taxes on the 2.5 million. This man has called ten times this morning alone.

I have been receiving this call below for 2 years. Mr. David ** states that he is calling from Winners International Circle however Consumer Affairs records indicate that it isn’t recognized. Mr. ** called from Standford, North Carolina at 1(919)298-5844. He states that I owe $$ for storage fees of my prize. Hummm. This call has been blocked and reported but I still get calls. Maybe I need a Robobot to answer my phone. "My name is David **and I am currently calling you from the Winners, international circle. Please give us back a call number 9 1 9 5 8 4 4 As I repeat 9 1 9 2 9 8 Five 4 4 Yourself of lesson day You're supposed to be yours Even our package Over two So please If we Right…”

On 4-7-22 at 7 pm a man called me and told me I was a second place winner in the Winner's International Sweepstakes sponsored by Publisher's Clearing House. His name was Mike **. His phone number call came from Jamaica, which is an island in the Caribbean. It is also the name of a city in Queens on Long Island, NY. He said he was calling me from Washington DC. He said I won 2.5 million dollars and a brand new Mercedes Benz. He asked me a lot of personal questions about my finances and my debts. After much back and forth talk until 9 pm I told him I had to go to bed. He said he would call me back in the morning.

I started out with my uncle died. Leave $400 in my name. And I invested it and trust the process. I urge you guys to take the risk, that's the only way you will be wealthy. I won $70,000 within 4 days period and, I assure you it's risky but it's worth it all.

Too good to be true. Received the call, gave me a claim number. Gentleman name was Andy **. Said to mail a money order made out to Mary ** for $750.00 to cover insurance and customs. The address to be placed on the money order is 3789 Centerville Hwy. Snellville, Ga. 30039. Mail overnight. Mentioned my name came from either shopping at Walmart, Kroger, etc. My home number was used to contact me. I do not use home number for people to contact me because I might miss an important item. Always use cell number. Sounds too good to be true so did not bother. Will check on Google Earth for the location of this address.

These people have called my mother (92, dementia) at least 8 times today, also many other calls from them. She "won" a new car, 64" tv, and 2.5 million. They go on and on, and ask her to go get a gift card for $2,500. I have told them NO many times. I even told him I would call the police, if he called again, well, he did, and I am contacting them in the morning. They call anytime, tonight it was 8:30pm and mom was in bed. PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS COMPANY.

I received a call today that said I was a second place prize winner from Kansas and won $2.5 million dollars and a 2019 Chevy Malibu (that was black). Having been scammed before, I was very leary. This was DEFINITELY NOT Publisher's Clearing House! After taking down a bunch of numbers, etc., "All you have to do is pay 1% of the amount." Just go to WalMart and receive a specific document, etc. I asked why I had to pay this. $485. If I were truly winning something I wouldn't have to pay. He said I wouldn't ever have to pay taxes on my winning! He said it would all be refunded in the check I would be getting. Why would I have to pay and turn around for a refund. I asked many questions. I asked for a phone number -- the number I received was a local number.

I was called by some guy and I pretended to be a machine. He told me I won 2.3 mil. cash check and 5,500 weekly plus a Mercedes Benz 2019 cinnamon blue. I kept playing along. He then gave me a package code and winning check number. He didn't know my address or anything but said within 1 hr I would be receiving my money with a news reporter who would be putting me on T.V. and local newspapers. Even asked me for a secondary beneficiary and to get all dressed up in my best clothes. So I gave him my address and then asked him to repeat it back to me and he hung up.

A man with an Indian accent named Don ** from a number in Plandome, NY called to say I won 1.5 million and a 2020 Mercedes Benz from a sweepstakes I was entered in by Bank of America for paying my bills on time. I needed to verify my winnings by sending 499.00 to Karen ** thru Walmart to Walmart transfer. I said I didn’t have that much money and he dropped the amount to 199.95. Just to see, my husband went to the Money Center in Walmart and tried to send the money but of course it wouldn’t go through because it was deemed a scam.

I received a call saying I was a winner of Two Million Five Hundred Dollars. The man calling said his name was Michael **. He had a foreign accent. Wanted to know how many bills I had. Wanted me to pay them off before I could receive any money. He told me I would receive the balance after Federal and State taxes were paid. I told him that if I had won some money it should not make a difference if I owed any money to anyone. Wanted me to give him information on my bank account. He called me several times on August 09, 2019 trying to get information from me. Said I was to win on August 13, 2019 and to call him at a certain time on that morning. I was also supposed to win a 2019 Mercedes Benz CLA 250-Class AMG Series. He was supposed to arrive at my home at 1:00 pm. I never heard from him again.

They call. Said I won a million dollars and merchandise. I told him I was already rich so he could take it and stick it up his **. He has not call back any more. I get letters and emails all the time. I know better!

They are very persistent scammers. My "rep" a Chinese man probably early 40's calling himself Mr Benjamin **?? Told me I had won a second prize of $1.4m plus $1k per month for 52 months. Also went on to how I was entered in the Sweepstake! (They appeared to have learned this was a weak spot in their spiel.) Some claptrap about being a customer of Walmart. He already had my address and email - When he got around to asking what bank I used, he had previously mentioned that the check would be certified by Bank of America and also by Wells Fargo?? I explained that those questions would have to wait until I did my due diligence and authenticated his company, as he had stressed the importance of security! Plus I assured him this was just routine. I also told him my executor would probably also contact him as a matter of routine! He assured me he would ring me back. I have the feeling that he will not. July 18th at 1215.

I Received a call from Dave ** Badge ** today. He said we won second place for $750,000 and a 2013 car plus $5000.00 a week for life. He wanted me to send $259.00 through Walmart. I smelled a scam and hung up. Since I hung up they have repeatedly called back. I finally answered the phone to stop calling us but had a new phone number and different agent. The other thing with David was there was a small child screaming the the background.

People from Winners International called my wife telling her she had won a 7 million dollar prize and a Mercedes. Then, a couple weeks ago, a man named David ** from Winners International and Trenton, New Jersey called and my wife gave them $1,600 out of our joint account without my knowledge. I read her the riot act and even had a policeman come to tell her not to give David or anyone else any money like that. But, then they scammed another $500 out of her. This week, David called again and claimed he was ready to giver her the prize that day, but he asked for $650 more. We told him there was no money, and the day came and went and he said he would deliver it early the next morning.

I lost 8 years of pay for nothing. I was supposed to receive 25 million, 2 4x4 pick up trucks and a vacation. Sent them my pay and was supposed to receive prize package. Had taken out loans, lost bank accounts, couldn't pay bills. Every cent I earned went to this. Lied to me for years so they could get pay off me. Owe so many bills from this. Lost trust and had swings between anger, depression and disappointment. Last weekend was last time dealing with agents and Federal Reserve Bank handling my prize package. Those who dealt with my file failed to keep me updated on details. I am going to have to recover trust in myself. My dream is still the same in having my own fashion line. Will take time to get back on track financially.

Andrew **, runs a scam for Winners International. He said I won 3.3 million dollars and a Mercedes-Benz. I told him I didn't like the Mercedes-Benz and he asked what kind of car did I want. I said an SUV. He said, "Then you will get 3.6 million dollars." I was to send him $5,684 for a transfer fee to get my money and car. I told him I would never pay money to get money. It doesn't seem to faze him. He calls again and again and again. Yesterday I received a check in the mail from Miss Charlene ** DRDA. For $8,300. The check was enclosed in a piece of paper with Andrew ** and his telephone number **. The check was from Ms. Charlene ** DRDA to **. I am not going to cash it. I'm going to go to the bank. I want to stop this guy and stop the scam. Yipee!

I just received a phone call from Larry with Winners International saying I won $700,000.00. At that point I hung up because I had never heard of the company, and never enter any sweepstakes. His voice was very hard to make out. I live in Canada.

I’ve been contacted by different people requesting $ to receive a $5.5 million dollars prize. By different numbers. Mr. ** +1 (702) 747-3846 and, Mary. She asked me to send $100.00. Her numbers also have a 702 area code. 702 514-7430 and, 702-329-9133. A prize winner should NOT have to “pay IRS” before “the prize is received.” What should I do, besides contacting Consumers Affairs? Please advise.

I received a phone call telling me I won 10m $ in a sweepstakes I didn't enter. A man with an Indian accent called from a blocked #. When I started asking too many questions & making him repeat himself... Just because I knew it was a scam & thought funny & probably made him aggravated. So he put his boss on. Who was more aggressive. I kept saying *what* just to make him repeat himself & he was like *what's your name*. I said, “You called me I won 10m dollars & a luxury car of my choice...shouldn't you know my name?” Then I said, “My name was Kelli **.” I let him go on & on until he finally got to the part where I go to Kroger & pay $799 dollars. And I said *my Name is not Kelli and this is a scam.* I said calmly because I wanted to find out more like why are you doing this to people...etc. He hung up. I wanted to tell him I'm on my way to Kroger to pay. But not show up & let him wait & wait. But scam came out of my mouth too quickly.
