Winners International Sweepstakes Reviews

I was contacted by a man named Michael ** (heavy accent). Said he was from "Winners International" and that I had just won $3.5 million and a brand new Mercedes Benz with a full tank of gas. All I had to do was to go to Wal-Mart before 4:30 pm and send him a Wal-Mart card and get a receipt in the amount of $700.00. And then the money, a "cashier’s check", would be escorted to my home with two FBI agents and attorney along with the gassed up car. I said why do I have to pay money? He said it’s for a portion of the taxes that the government makes us collect. But we pay the rest of the taxes. I said to him you’re full of ** and he called me a **. I said wow, you must make your mother proud. This is definitely a scam. You never have to pay money if you win a sweepstakes. You will have to pay Uncle Sam.

This is the second call I have received. The first time they told me that I had won $2.5 M with the Publisher's Clearing House from a previous drawing. They stated that they were in the area and wanted to come by. While I was on the phone I contacted PCH via email and they confirmed that this was a scam. I told the person on the phone that the connection was bad and needed a number to call them back. I called back to only to leave a message. They called me back insisting that this wasn't a scam. I told them they had been reported to the authorities and they hung up.

I received a call around 9 a.m. from 707-501-9558 from a man claiming to be John ** from Winners International Sweepstakes. He said I have won 1.5 million dollars and a car because I pay my bills on time. He said they have paid the first 99% of the taxes for me but that I would have to pick up the other 1% so could I go to Wal-mart and get a Wal-mart money card in the amount of $500 before 12 p.m. because that was all the time I had to claim my prize. He also said they had a team in Waterloo right now delivering a prize to someone else and he would just send them back to my house to deliver mine. I ran the number and it came back to a landline by 01-commercial in Napa, California. It looks like they would at least change their name and try something new. This scam has been going on for awhile. We need to get the word out there so no one falls for it.

They kept calling, often twice per day to tell me I have won some big lottery. Today, I asked for a call back number and got 703-743-0113 which one reverse look-up service said was in Haymarket, VA and was a Comcast phone number. Comcast said it's not theirs. Scams abound. Do Not Call list does not work. No effective measures are available to stop scammers. If there is some way to find and at least annoy them, let me know.

Mr. Dan called me from 15 miles away, yet he could not pronounce the name of my town. He had a deep accent and when I asked why he couldn't pronounce my town, he replied "I'm not from around here". He asked if I had received something in the mail from Publishers Clearing House and I said no. So, he told me he would email my winnings of 1.5 million and a new Mercedes and I had to confirm it. My computer flashed a notification that required a confirmation but I deleted it, never happened before, I thought it was creepy and knew it was a scam.

A blocked number called me claiming I had won 1.5 million and a 2011 BMW with the choice between a red hard top and white convertible. At first, I thought some friends were pulling my leg. Then I begin to realize this guy is a scammer. So I played along with it. I couldn't actually catch his name but he had such a deep accent. He told me that a group of people (team) were heading to where I live and he stated that they were in a town 15 miles away where I actually was at the time. He told me before I could see the money or the car I needed to wire them 499 dollars.

I recently received a phone call from someone identifying themselves as Mr. David ** from UPS Winners International. He said that I was selected as a 4th place winner among 4,000 other contestants for shopping at either a Walmart or CVS Pharmacy and for paying my utilities. He said that a rather large package just arrived and is being held in a secure location at the Police Department pending verification.

I received a phone call from Mr. Jack ** from Winners International Sweepstakes, telling me he had a certified cashier's check for $850,000.00. He left a phone number 1-876- 448-9855. He told me to have a "wonderful day and congratulations". Are you kidding me? I read the other complaints, and of course, would never call these scammers.

Caller, Tom Andrews, with an accent not normal to CA and with children making noises in the background, said I was a winner of sweepstakes. I've won $1 million / Mercedes, for having always paid my electric bills on time and in full, information I would dearly like to know how he came to have. I was to go to Wal-Mart and put $500 on a specific "green card" and then call back. I called the Sheriff's Dept instead. I was given a ref no and told the crew was in Springfield and would be in my area very soon to escort me to the bank. I'd really like for these ** to be prosecuted by the State of CA, the source of the phone no. I have no doubt they won't be as my experiences with CA system of justice is that they are just as corrupt as these scammers.

A guy by the name of Scisco ** called me on 12-29-2011 and stated I had won the lottery for $255,000,00 and told me I had to go to Western Union and send a tax fee of 200. I almost fell for ** until he stated that after I sent the money, he would have the drive team to come to my home and pick up the receipt which then I knew it was a scam. I told him I don't want to risk losing my money which made him more persistent on telling me he swore the money was legit, which it was not. He kept calling back to back to see if I had sent the money, but I did not. So I guess he got scammed because it ** sure wasn't me. So if anyone else receives a phone call saying you won, please, don't believe it unless there is a certified check involved. Thanks.

My full name is Luther **. I am in the Spring Valley Area for the past 20 years and during that time I have entered many Sweepstakes, but never won. However, I received many calls that I have won large sums of money but never received anything. At the moment, I have a check in my email address of which I would like to be a reality. So I would love for someone with such authority to investigate this so that I could receive same. If you can provide me with an email address I could email that show this check. My mailing address is different from where I live. So again my email address is: **, most of my mails come to my P.O. Box that I hold for the past 16 years, which is: **, Spring Valley NY 10911, USA but my physical address is: ** Suffern , NY 10901, USA. Thanks for your help.

My story lines up with all the others. However, these guys have been calling me for months. Today has been extra special. I was contacted this morning by Mike **. I've won $2.5 million plus a Benz. I need to go to Walgreen's and buy a green dot pac for $150.00. He will call me back for the 14 digit code. No sooner than we hung up, I got a call from another man telling me I was the winner of the same exact prizes. When I told him I just spoke to Mike **, he told me that Mike was a fraud and that if I accepted any more calls from him I could be in legal trouble.

I received a call from John ** with Winners International, telling me I had won $2.5 million, and a Mercedes Benz, and $30,000 cash. They said they were on their way to Jasper with my winnings, and I had to go get one of those money pac cards, and since I didn't have much money, I could put $40 on it, and that would be all right. He also gave me a phone number 702-609-9011 so I could call him, should I have any problems. Next, they had a Rev. John Henry ** come on the line to talk to me about it.

Mr. John ** has been calling my father's phone for the past couple of weeks, telling him to contact them about a prize he had won. He finally talked to them, for them to tell him he had won $2.5 million dollars. My father had just gotten out of the hospital, and he asked them if they were playing a game on him. They stated that it was not a game, and if he would go to Western Union and send them $490.00, they would bring his car to him, and his check. Mr. ** also stated that they would pull up in a Blue and white van (GMC), that had Cash Reward Center written on the van.

On 12/8/2011, Brad **** contacted my aunt to notify her that she was worth million dollars. Her sister answered the phone and informed him that she had passed away. Then he wanted to give the money to her sister. He notified my aunt again today, 12/9/2011, telling her to send in money to receive the winnings and to send money to Virginia **** at ****. He called from ****. I notified this man and told him to stop calling my aunt or I will contact the police. They prey on the elderly!

I have been receiving calls from several numbers like ** from Gary **, saying he is with the Publisher's Clearing House and also ** from Tony ** for Winners International. They have been calling me everyday for the past month and leaving messages saying I had won and they needed to talk to me to make arrangements to send me a check. I ignored all the messages because you know it's a scam but today I decided to call them back and sure enough, there was a catch. He told me I had won $419326.00 and he needed to make arrangements for the delivery. Just for fun, I asked him what I had to do and sure enough he said I had to go to Western Union and obtain a golden eagle or eagle form to have on hand when they came to my house personally with balloons and cameras.

11/27/11, I received a phone call from "Rob **", @(876)-787-1926. (A Jamaican number), telling me I won $2.1 million dollars, from filling out a Walmart survey. I was skeptical of course, but went along with it. He said I'd have to call him back the following morning, which he called me. He said I'd have to pay 1% shipping and handling fee of $149.00, which I'd have to go to either CVS or Walgreens, and put that $ on a green.money PAC scratch off with 14 digits. After I gave him the #'s off my receipt, he would "send his guys" to deliver "my prize $".

I received a call from an unknown number saying that I had won with the Winners International $10.5. The caller had a Jamaican accent and I was told to go to Walmart and send $100 to Marvin ** in Jamaica, WI. I was given me a lot of code numbers to verify my winnings. When I asked for a supervisor, I was told that it would take about five minutes and he would call me back. The number: ** from Kingston, Jamaica came up. He gave me the spill that I had to do this now. Here are the other numbers he gave me to call. I looked up this Winners International on the net and found you. Thank you. Hope this information helps.

I have been receiving calls from someone in Jamaica saying they are PCH and I have won a car and 1000.00 cash. They want me to go to Walgreens and purchase a money card and put 150.00 on it. They will call me back and I am to give them the numbers on the card, which I did not do. I told them I knew it was a scam and not to call me again. Now he has called me about 4 or 5 times every day since. I have gotten into fights with this person and he says he is not going to stop calling me. I am fed up with the fact that everyone I have called for help has told me they cannot do anything to help. What does a person do to protect themselves?

I was contacted today on my cell phone from a "blocked" number by a man with an accent; he stated his name as Mr. John **. He proceeded to tell me, I had won $1.9M by automatic entrance into a sweepstakes, because I shopped at Walgreens, WalMart, CVS, or RiteAid using my Visa or MC. He continued on providing me a check number for my prize, "**", and asked me to call him back at 876-452-2118 in 10 minutes. I did, even though I had read the other comments on this site, re: this scam.

I got a call from Mr. John ** indicating I had won a 2011 Mercedes and $85,000. It really sounded sincere. He had a foreign accent. He told me, I would need to go to Rite Aid or CVS pharmacy and purchase a $195 Green Pac money card, and it would cost $5 to activate it. He would call me back to get my card #, then my car and check would be delivered. The money would not be taken, from the account, until after my winnings were delivered. Of course, I had lots of questions.The prizes were given by Coca Cola and Luxury Cars. He said he was from Philadelphia,Pa. which I also questioned, because my caller ID showed up Jamaica. He said that was headquarters line.

I got called at 6:30 pm on Friday evening by a nice man named Joseph ** who said I'd won the 2nd prize of $2.5 Million which came with a Mercedes Benz. When I questioned this, he offered to email a letter which I received with beautiful photos of my red Mercedes and a copy of the check waiting to be deposited made out to me and with Bank of America and Payout & Processing Services, Inc. on it. He wanted me to call him back with my acceptance and said that I would owe a mere $2,500. When I balked, he quickly lowered it to $1,200 giving this number to call, 405-563-2364, which said he worked for the Consortium of Manufactures.

A man called on 11/03/2011 from 702-546-0563 and identified himself as Joh ** of Winners International Sweepstakes, badge number 1990. He stated that I had won 1.5 million dollars and that I would need to go to the nearest Walmart and purchase a Green Dot PAC card and put $885.00 on it. I would then need to call him and give him the 14 digit scratch off number so the $885.00 could be retrieved by them which would cover 2% of the taxes on the 1.5 million.

It is very scary. Calls come in constantly and advise they will be at the house at 3 pm. My mom (almost 90) is getting the calls and she is very frightened. Supposedly she has won $2.5 million. I just listened on the second line and the guy was scary and insistent. She told him she would call him back after speaking to her son. They want her home address.

A man named Jack called from **, said he was from Vegas but on my caller id came up from Jamaica. He said my number came up on their system and they said I won $55,000 and a brand new BMW. I didn't sound excited. It was kinda weird to me. I knew it was a scam right away.

Jack ** called me and stated that I won a brand new BMW and 3.5 million dollars. I was skeptical, so he had Traci ** call me. She was supposed to have been the "license merchant banker".

A gentleman by the name of John ** called my mother and told her that she won $1.5K in a sweepstakes that she entered. They told her that they would be coming to her home to give her a check for $85K but she had to take them to her bank for her to issue them a check for $750.00 as taxes etc. When she told me about this, I explained to her that it was a scam. This person gave her a phone number to call, which is **. I have tried several times to call this number and a man with a very heavy accent answers. When I explain to him that I have contacted the police about this scam they hang up on me. One time they told me they don't know who John ** is. Now when I call this number it goes to a full voice mail so I cannot leave a message.

This is a scam. I am a police officer in the state of New York. I received a complaint from a subject who stated she received a phone call from a "James **" from "Winners International Sweepstakes". The phone number is **. The male with a heavy accent advised her she had won $1.5 million and need to send a check in the amount of $255 as a processing fee. I called the subject back and he provided me with a mailing address to send the check to. The zip code given comes back to Oklahoma. The phone number comes back to Far Rockaway in NYC. Please contact your local police agency and provide them with information if you receive a phone call.

I was called by Jack **. He said that they had a delivery for me. It's because I had been a good customer at a long list of stores, or that I had good credit and paid my bills on time. They said that they had a Mercedes to deliver to my home. I asked for their website. He gave me an email for MultiStateLotteryCompany@yahoo.com. I told him that was an email not a website. Then, I asked for a phone number. He gave me two **. That was an unlisted cell phone and 876-886-0393 is Winners International. I googled them and found all these complaints. But I did not see these phone numbers of the MultiStateLottery Company name. So, I wanted to add these to your list.

A man with a heavy accent called and told me I had won $2.5M, a 2012 Mercedes, and $50,000 in cash to be delivered at my door any moment. He kept talking about it. I asked how I became a winner, he said by shopping at WalMart or K-Mart. He also said all I needed to do was to go to Western Union and send $250.00 to a man in Cliffton, Texas and they would be at my door with the money and Mercedes. I started asking questions like how did he get my name and number, and where was the company located.

I received several phone calls from several different people and different numbers. They claimed that I won a lottery from the Winners International sweepstakes. I was told that I needed to get a Moneypak card from Walmart or Walgreens to pay for the insurance of $200.00. At first, I didn't believe it, but then I was taking a chance. When the supposedly winnings and package was supposed to arrive, I was contacted again by Mr. **. He said that he was pulled over by the authorities because I had also won a new car, and that the delivery fee must be paid which was $300.00. Again, I told him that I don't have that money. He then said that he would help me out and pay half if I paid half by getting another Moneypak card for $150.00. Again, I just did that.

Michelle ** from Winners International called to inform me that I had won a 2011 Mercedes Benz, and $250,000.00. All I have to do is go to Walmart and get a green dot card for $100.00 and send it to them, and they would have my prizes to me the following day. I told them I was not interested but they continued to call. They called me 26 times in less than 2 hours. I alerted the State Police and they are supposed to investigate it.

Today, 10/11/11, when we returned from a trip to town we had a message on our phone we could not quite understand due to the caller had a heavy foreign accent. We did finally decipher the phone number that had been left as a call back number when we called that number a foreigner answered and claimed that we had won a significant amount of money, he then asked if we had a credit card as well as several other personal questions which we did not reveal any personal information. Why doesn’t the law put a stop to these worthless crooks? Also if our government continues to allow illegal aliens to live in this country without any consequences this type of scams will ruin the truth and honesty that true Americans are known for worldwide.

I received a phone call from Mr. John ** for the first time last week stating that I was the lucky winner of $250,000. I was instructed to go to my local Wal-Mart and purchase a $150 Green Dot Money Pack card to pay for the taxes on the money that I had won. I called the local Wal-Mart and was informed that this was a scam.

Mr. ** called my home several times, leaving a message that I return his call regarding a very urgent matter. He stated I'd won a 2012 Mercedes. Mr. ** proceeded to give me a "code " for no one but he and myself. That's when I asked if the check he was offering was on US Bank. He advised it was. And he proceeded to tell me that he would get a couple of sponsors to put out the "initial cash" and UPS would deliver a package to me. He also said that the back seat of the car was filled with cash monies to the tune of $126k. I told him I thought it was a scam. At that point, he became angry and said, “Do you believe in God?" My reply was "yes". His response was: "Then please don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. You obviously are being blessed by God.” That was the end of the phone call. But since then, he's been relentless with the phone calls. I just let my answering machine pick them up and then I delete them.

I have been receiving many phone calls from men with heavy Indian accents, saying that I have won $3.5 million and a new car and I need to pay them a money pack for $299.99 first as the taxes in order to receive the package. They say that they are from Mega Millions Winners International. They use God and Christian in their verbiage. They call me sweetheart. I've not been sweet to them, believe me. But they are very persistent.

I just got a call around 6:15 AM from a Mr. Bruce ** from Florida, telling me that I won $5.5 million and a new Mercedes Benz "just for paying my bills on time and shopping in the right places at the right times." All I had to do was to send them $209 through Western Union and a U.S. Marshal, along with a deliver team was waiting in my state to deliver. I said that I was very skeptical and Mr. ** gave me his office number and address.

This complany called and that said I was a second place winner of $500K. I asked how and they said that it was for shopping at Walmart. My name was drawn out of thousands. They said that I could get the money delivered to my house if I sent $299.99 via Western Union so I would not have to pay the taxes. They gave me a routing number. I was supposed to send the money to a Joe ** in Washington State. They then asked for me to call them at ** when I sent the money and ask for John **. When I did not call them back, they still contacted me twice. I told them off for trying to run a scam and I have not heard from them ever since. I have reported this to the FTC.

I was contacted by a guy telling me I won $850,000 & a new car and all it was going to cost me was $1925.04 to receive it, that was supposed to be 1% of the prize. He tried to make it sound great, he mentioned IRS & the FBI to sound like he was legit. The number they gave me was **, Wayne ** & David **. Please stop these people before they hurt someone. Thanks!

I received a call from a foreign language speaking man (Jamaica ** showed up on my caller-ID) who said I won the Winner's International 3rd place prize for the monthly drawing for Wal-Mart, Kmart, and Walgreens. He stated that I won $500,000.00 and a pearl-colored 2011 BMW. He told me to go to my local Wal-Mart store and use Western Union to send $252.00 to Shntell ** at Newport, Jam/WI and that I shouldn't tell anyone. He also stated that a UPS driver would come to my home and verify that I sent the money, which I never did. Surprise! No UPS guy came to my house. He kept calling multiple times after that and I just ignored it. I hope this information helps in tracking down this low-life criminal.

They told me I had won 1.5 million dollars and that I would have to pay $674.28 first, then they would deliver the check and that the $674.28 was refundable and I didn't have to pay taxes on the $1.5 million, which I knew was false. The taxes would also be more than the $674.28.

I have been receiving phone calls all month from different people. The first woman who called gave me her name, and told me I had won $4,000,000 and I just needed to give her $600 for postage, etc. I told her I would love for this to be true, but it sounded like a scam. She sent me something in writing. She said she would send me something in the mail. It never came.

I received a call Sat afternoon from a Mr. James ** claiming to have a check for 12 million dollars ready to be delivered to me today. He tells me, "My American Dream has come true." He had my name, address, age and even a description of where I lived (How could he know all of that if they weren't legitimate he claimed). All I needed to do was send $850 to cover delivery charges and an eager stamp. The money was to be sent to a Mr. David ** who was their Licensed Merchant Banker and once he had the check then they would deliver mine for $12 million dollars.

A few days ago, I have started receiving calls from representatives of this Readers International Mega Million Sweepstakes. At first they told me that I won $3.5 million and a Mercedez. They asked me to deposit $389 via Western Union. Then, David called me yesterday to tell me that I won $2.5 million and that this lottery took place the day before. He also wanted me to send money via Western Union to Anthony ** at **, Brooklyn, NY 11207. His number is **. They are still calling me non-stop without giving up. Most of the calls are 'unknown' or 'withheld'.

Mr. James called and said I won the Winner's International and won $5 million and a blue 2011 BMW. The usual **, it was not the first time they called. Go and get a MoneyGram and don't tell nobody. He kept calling to get the 14 digits for the $250 MoneyGram which I told him I have but I have to call him to confirm that this is legit. First, he gave me 480-521-1026, then he gave me telephone number 876-480-8810 which he answered on. Hope this is enough to track this thief down.

I received the Winners International Scam call today and several days last week. They are determined to get $350 from me because I am a winner of 3.5 million and a new 2011 Mercedes. I told him I had already been called and was requested to obtain a "money pack" from Walmart then call him and give him the number on the money pack. I knew it was a scam so I refused to give the number.

Omareay called me from a Jamaica phone number (876-508-6233), with an accent. I was told that I won $10,000 cash and a 2011 Mercedes. It will be delivered this Friday, as soon as I go immediately, and send them $299 via Western Union. I played along to get all the information to Google them, and they are a scam. They were very persistent to make me get off my seat now, and send them the money.

I was contacted by a David that I had win 2.5 million dollars in cash, tax-free. When delivered to Las Vegas Feds, stopped it because it was all cash so now it was stuck in Bank of America. Now I have to pay a fee to get it delivered.

I got a call from a man saying his name was Paul ** from UPS and he had a package for me. This was on Sunday the 18th of September, they don't call on Sundays. The number I had called back was not UPS.

Daniel called and told me that I won $900,500 and a Mercedes, both would be delivered on Friday the 16th of Sept. I needed to pay a registration fee of $199.00. I told him I had no money until payday and that I couldn't afford it. He then reduced it to $100. When that payday came, he called. I told him I could only afford $75. I sent him $70 because the Green Dot MoneyPak cost me $5. He called Friday to say that the system wouldn't accept $70. He needed to have $100 on a Western Union to Clayon **, Portland, Jamaica.

I was contacted by phone at 8:17AM on 9/13/2011. I was told by a Mike ** that I had won $250.000. In order to receive the money, I had to go to Western Union, send $80.00 to his account "Antoney **", then call him back so I can give him the Western Union code and he would send me a check by FedEx. I played along, knowing that this is a ripoff, but I was trying to get as much information from him as I could. The people I spoke with were Jamaican. I could hardly understand what they said. Be on the look out, these guys are out to ripoff anyone they can.

I received a call that I had won $5.5M certified money, $5,000 cash, and a new 2011 Mercedes. I was asked what color I wanted the Mercedes in, which was being delivered this afternoon before 3 pm. After going round and round, all I had to do was pay the 1% insurance on the money that would be deposited into Bank of America for me. When I told him I had no money and that I could pay the insurance once I got the money in the bank, he didn't like that. He asked if I was going to give him the $1,500, and when I said no, he hung up the phone.

The phone calls have been received for well over a month. A man with a foreign accent says that the company has been trying to send a package or check to us. The person speaking to us is very hard to understand with his heavy accent. I first assumed the person was Indian, but still uncertain as to his nationality.

I received a call from John ** of Winners International, claiming I had won $89,000 tax free dollars. The telephone numbers were ** and cell **. I was given a "code" to give to the people (UPS driver, two accountants, and an FBI agent) delivering a certified check in 4 hours in a blue and white GMAC Van. I was then called back and asked to go and get a $150 Greendot Money Pak scratch off from Walmart or CVS to cover handling. I then looked online to find out that this is a scam. I hope you catch these thieves.

This man called asking for Erin **. When he asked the person who was taking the message to repeat the phone number back and asked why, he said, "** you, **."

I, too, received a message from Jamaica telling me that I had won a large sum of money. I believe he said his name was David ** and the number he left was **. I called the number back and spoke with his "assistant" named Barbara. They confirmed my name and address, which they already had. I knew this was a scam, but I played along. She said that the check would be delivered the next day, but they had to call in the morning first. She even said the check was certified, tax free, and would be delivered by two FBI agents! I reported it to the State Attorney General's office. After reading the other posts on this site, I wonder why this operation hasn't been shut down after so many years. Shame on them!

They keep on calling and telling me that I have won $250,000.00. When I say, "send it to me," he tells me that he will call me back for more to follow as he is not taking no for an answer. The guy with an Indian accent calls repeatedly using a blocked number.

Some Indian talking guy called me on Sunday, Aug. 20th at 7-8PM stating I had won from Publishing Clearing 5 million dollars and the truck would deliver Monday. I have never seen anything. I asked how much I had to send and he said nothing. I never heard from no one.

Today, a person named Bob ** called and said that he has been trying to reach me for a week. He said that I won $850,000 certified check from Wells Fargo and $20,000 cash bonus and a 2011 Lexus - he stressed that it was the "Blue and White one" and that it will be fully insured for a year with Geico. He told me to get a piece of blank paper so I could write everything down.

I was solicited on my cell phone. I received a call from a man saying that I had won a prize. He had a very heavy accent (which I think is Jamaican) and was very hard to understand. I finally figured out that he was trying to tell me that I had won a prize and they wanted to deliver it to me on the next day via FedEx or UPS. But before that, they needed to get a receipt from me. I supposed I had won $20 million dollars. Anyway, he wanted me to go to the |Western Union and send $150 to Akina *** , an FBI agent in California, so that they could send me my prize. I refused and the story just kept getting better and better. I did not only won $20 million. I was told that I also won a BMW and then later a big TV screen. I asked the contact information for the FBI agent and they gave me a Jamaican phone number. When I said it was odd for a California-based FBI agent to have a Jamaican phone number, they suddenly had a local number to give which turned out to be not in service (What a surprise!).

A person called with a foreign accent and said I had won $4.5 million and a 2011 Mercedes Benz in the Winners International Sweepstakes. I was told to call the claims department as soon as possible.

Gentlemen with an Indian accent call to tell me I had won $2.5mil and a new BMW car. When asked how I was selected, he told me it was because I shop at Walmart & KMart and pay my utility bills on time. He also told me that they were working directly with the FBI due to all the other scams out there. All I had to do was send him 1% of the tax, $450, to an FBI agent, Peyton Shepherd, in Wilmington, DE. I passed and asked them to please give my reward to someone else. The buy broke down in tears and claimed he would lose his job as Bank of America would be upset he could not give the money away.

They kept calling my elderly mother, (85 years old) telling her she has won $2.5 million and a new Mercedes. Unfortunately, she believed every word. They called her almost daily with explicit instructions as to how she should send money to them. She was instructed to buy a postal money order for $500 on one call, to write a personal check for $495 and $500 on two other calls. She was also told to go to the bank and get a cashier's check for $3000 on another call.

A man with a foreign accent called asking for my husband; claimed he won 2.5 million dollars though some coupon. He said he wanted to deliver the check the next day, 7/29/11. He asked that my husband call him back. He said he was the second prize winner.

I was called saying that I had won third place; that my winnings ($180,000.00) was on hold, and unclaimed in Section 7.

A man claiming to be George ** from the Better Business Bureau called today saying that I had won a car and a two million US dollars from Winners International. About six weeks ago, I received a call from a so-called lawyer named Mark from PCH, basically saying the same thing and wanted me to get a reloadable money card from CVS and then they would deliver my prize. I Googled his name and PCH and found a phone number. I called the man named Mark who has a strong Texas accent and found out that the guy claiming to be him was not real.

A person tells you, you have won $3.5 million, and a 2011 Mercedes car, and for the cost of shipping and handling, they can deliver it the next day, but first, you must send them $1,500.00. This is your basic scam. These people are a little different in that, when you refuse to send them any money, they will harass you by calling your home repeatedly. I have had no physical or economic damage. but taking 8 to 10 calls a day from these people is upsetting and irritating.

They have been calling my home for months. I have repeatedly asked them not to ever call my home again, but the calls still come. I assumed they were some sort of scam.

D. ** called my home phone last night at 8:15 pm, saying I had won $2.5 million in their sweepstakes giveaway. I needed to send $58.00 by MoneyGram to Joanna ** in Lilliput, St. James and Jamaica, West Indies as soon as possible. The UPS truck would deliver a certified check tomorrow to my house with my winnings. I asked to speak to a higher authority, saying it sounded like a scam. Five minutes later, Mary ** called, saying that she is an IRS agent working to verify who I am. Her agent #** and she is in Las Vegas. At this point, I told her it was too good to be true, and goodbye.

Anthony claimed I had won a sweepstakes last November and that the deadline for assigning the award is 5:30 today, so we must act fast! He wanted me to wire $335 through Western Union and call him back with the wire number, so he could let a Mrs. ** at a Wells Fargo Bank at 7201 Capilla St., Coral Gables, Florida know and they could issue the check for $750,000.

Winners International has contacted me three times now. The first two times was telling me that I had won money and they wanted me to give them my contact numbers and personal info. I did not! The third time they were posing as Windstream phone company and asked if the number that they called was my number. When I said yes they hung up the phone. I think that that they are trying to use my name and number to pull a scam on people or to commit identity theft on me. Can you help?

For two weeks now a man with an accent has been calling me explaining I had been a third place winner and won $800,000 and a brand new 2011 vehicle. He gave me the option of choosing between 4 vehicles, including a Mercedes like in the rest of the complaints. He started off saying I needed to send $200 via Western Union to register my name and cover part of the taxes, but the company would cover the rest 90 percent. I explained I was only getting unemployment and couldn’t come up with that so he went down to $150, then to $100. He said his name was Michael ** and do I believe in God and just to have faith in him because he believes in me.

Mr. Scott, Karen ** and a few others with his company call for me on my cell phone and also on a friend's cell phone. Their phone number is also my friend's magic jack phone number. They are telling me I have won 7.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes Benz and I need to send $200.00 to Mario Thompson located in St. Ann Jamica through Western Union. My friend is getting worried because he does not know how they got his phone number and he is currently out of town. I have asked a lot of questions but the answers are evasive.

I received a phone call saying that I won this month's Sweepstakes draw. The Sweepstakes comes with a check for $2.5 million and a new BMW. He identified himself as John **. He asked me how did that sound and I said "great, if I don't have to pay any money." He said that the money was to cover the cost of the insurance (or something) on the car. I told him that I will be happy to pay it when the car and check are delivered. Of course, the amount needed to be wired to them at an address in Jamaica, West Indies. His story even went so far as to give me the name of an attorney that they use and an FBI agent!

On the 26 day of February I was called by a Mr. David *** saying that I have won $2.5 million and a 2011 Mercedes Benz. I first hung up the phone and Mr. David *** called back a second time to tell me that this is not a scam and that I have actually won $2.5 million and a Mercedes Benz and what color do I want the interior of the car to be. So beyond this point of saying what color I wanted, the conversation went a more into detail about when I should be receiving these gifts. Apparently my name was entered in a local store sweepstakes and my name and three other names within the State of Illinois were selected. Of course, my name was the top name. Mr. David *** said that he was at the corporate office locate in Louisville, Kentucky and that he can be in Chicago the next day to deliver me a check and the Mercedes Benz that Monday morning. He then asked me what day would be more convenient for me to receive these winnings and I then respond March the 3rd would be better.

I received a call on my cellphone at about 1:30 pm on 01/03/2011. The caller told me I won $2.5 million and they would deliver it to my house tomorrow. He said that I was chosen at random from my credit information because I pay my bills on time. He would not give any specifics as to which credit card or company he got my information. During the call I looked up the area code to see that it was from Jamaica. He said there was an office in Las Vegas and that's where the certified check would be delivered from. I told him I didn't believe him, and he told me my own house address as proof he would deliver it to the right place.

Ms. ** called me at 10:15 on December 30, 2010, informing that I had won $250,000. She explained that there were two drawings and that my name came up in each drawing. She added that my name was entered, because I showed up as a shopper at one of the major retail stores Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and etc. It was obvious that she was reading from a script. She told me I needed to wire transfer $150, to insure the funds, and once the transfer was received, I would receive the funds, after everything checked out.

I received this call at 7:50 am on 12-22-10. The man said he had a certified cashiers check waiting for me. I started questioning him for company name, address, phone number and what my address was. He had that, what the last name was. It was for my daughter under her maiden name who hasn't lived here and has been married 6 years. I let him know I would be turning this over to the authorities because in New York State it is illegal to contact anyone’s home before 8 am and he hung up. He is disrupting my household and waking up people who are sleeping.

Received a phone call from person representing Rev. John Fisher of Winners International. Said he worked for Payout Agency. When I asked for his phone number (blocked call), we lost contact both times.

I keep getting phone calls telling me that I am the winner of 2.5 million and in order for me to get this, I have to get Green Dot Cash PK and it has to have 1,000 on it. I had pretended to get one just to what they did next and I was right they wanted the numbers on the back to make sure it’s real Green Dot PK. I also got letters in the mail stating that I am the winner of the sweepstakes and/or lottery and I have to send from 9.99 to 20.99 if I want my winnings. I have saved most of these letters and I also sent money and that’s because I do enter in a lot of sweepstakes so who do I believe these days and every number starts with 876 area code.

The mall was open until 10 and me and a friend had just got out of a movie and she was going snowboarding the next day and she remembered that she needed a jacket. So we ran to Winners because we figured we might be able to find one. This was about 9:30 pm so the store was closing in half an hour. We got to Winners and she found a coat that she loved and I found a few pairs of cuff links for my husband. It was probably about 5 to 10. When we were going to buy them and the ladies at the till wouldn't let us buy anything! They said that they had counted their tills already so we had to leave and they wouldn't let us buy anything.

I am receiving demanding calls from Bill ** of Winners International at ** harshly ordering me to contact my wife and have her call immediately. I can hardly understand them because of background noise and everyone has a foreign accent. The deal is that she won 5 million dollars and a Mercedes, but she has to send them $150 via credit card to cover their costs.

This "company" has been contacting my elderly in-laws informing my father-in-law that he has won $5.5 million. My father-in-law is suffering from dementia! The person(s) that call have been told repeatedly to stop contacting them. Like other scams, they want to be sent $350 to cover insurance, and whatever else. I was able to trace a number that they were calling from and called it back. I spoke to a man who said his name was David ***** and that he was the supervisor of the claims dept. in the Gaffney, SC office and that the HQ was located in Las Vegas.

We have been getting many calls from a group calling themselves Winners International. Today, this guy said that he was from Las Vegas and his name was Omar ****. He had a Jamaican accent. This call was for my husband and the guy insisted that they want to send him some money and that he needs to call them back to **** so that they can give him instructions to go register with a telegram office. My husband says they are constantly calling and the phone number shows up as being from Jamaica.

They had sent me a letter and I took the letter to the bank and they said that they would investigate it, but I got no answer. So a few months later, I get a call and they are saying the same thing. I tried it and the Money Gram employee told me not to and I did. So lesson learned. He had gave me three different names to send the money to Camella ** in St James, Jamaica, WI. Now that’s done he wanted me to send $175.00, then changed it to $150.00, and then changed it to $100.00 because I told him I didn't have it. He called me 19 times that day. Today he said to send it to Nicala ** in St James, Jamaica, WI and if that don’t work for me, I should to send it to Amazie ** in Java, Va.

I supposedly won $2.5 million, but needed to send about $399 in order to claim it. The reason stated was that the government charges that to buy a stamp to prevent the Taliban from running sweepstakes here. It was a charge for shipping and handling I was told after questioning further. I told him I would give the information to my attorney for verification with the police. He was okay with that and promptly got off the call.

A "representative" from "Winners International Company" called saying that we had won $2.5 million and a new car. Supposedly, we were automatically enrolled in the sweepstakes because of shopping at our local grocery store. They needed to confirm some data in order to process the winnings.

I got a call from a man claiming to be John **, also used "Reverend", stating we have won a prize because when we entered Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes we had been entered in another sweepstakes and have won that one. He said we won 2.5 million dollars (check), a 2010 Mercedes Benz, and 850,000 in cash. At first he claimed we only needed to show up at 10-12 the next day at a place we designated to receive the prize. He first talked to another family member at a different phone number then got ours and told us the same information; however, we needed to send through Western Union 3450.21 to ** St. James JA, WI to get a receipt to release the prize. Upon hearing we didn't have that kind of money, he wanted to know how much we could get and we told him 100 dollars and he told us how is that so and couldn't we borrow the money at least even half. I told him yes we could get half, which he rounded to 2000.21 and wanted to make sure we talked to no one and what time tomorrow we would have it.

A man with a mid-eastern accent called my 14-year old daughter's cell phone about 11:00 AM on 18 Sept 10. She handed me the phone saying somebody said she had won a sweepstake. He told me that she won over $1 million and a Mercedes Benz was already in the state, coming to our house. We needed to tell him when we would be home to receive it. He said that he was on the "up and up" and all I needed to do was "cooperate" with him so he could do his job. I told him several things--to call back later, to talk to my husband on his cell phone, but not when we would be gone. When I asked him what company he was from, he said "Winners International" and hung up. I called information and told her I had a number from Winners international. When I gave her the number, the operator said that the number was not listed.

My mother is getting calls from Winners International claiming she has won millions but needs to wire different amounts of money to them. She has been wiring money and we cannot seem to stop her. She is 70 years old. This is a scam. How do we stop them? I want them in jail.

Yesterday I received a call from a 'Mr. Adrian **' stating that I had been entered in a lottery and had won $3 million dollars and a new Mercedes. however the only way I could get my winnings was to send $350 dollars to a Meleisha ** in Montego Bay Jamaica WI-rather amusing that the guy said the WI stood for Winners International when we all know it stand for West Indies! I was warned not to tell anyone at Western Union what the money was for or where it was going-another red flag! When I got home from work today Mr. Adrian called again insisting that I go to the nearest Western Union. He wanted my cell number to which I said no and warned me that my Mercedes would not be delivered without the receipt from Western Union. He really hounded me about sending the $350 dollars that I had to go right now and was I dressed to go out and how long would it take to send the money! 'Mr. Adrian' should have called me back about 2 hours' ago. Good luck to him trying to get through-anonymous call block comes in very handy sometimes!

This is actually the second report I do because these people keep on calling me. I got another call today, 9/10/2010, from a John ** of Winners International. I have spoken to a Frank **, Peter **, and now John **, all from Winners International. I even asked sarcastically if they were all related. At first, I thought the man's accent was middle eastern, but it might also be a little bit Jamaican or African, not sure it's really hard to tell. Also, it sounds like the same guy but he always changes his name. This "John **" kept on saying that I won $5 million and only I could get that money.

Mr. Carter **** of Winners International has contacted my home 4 times in the last 24 hours telling me that my wife had won $250,000 on their sweepstake. The catch, we had to immediately return their call to obtain details of where to send a processing fee of $150 so that the company’s representatives could come to our house today to present my wife with her winnings - this would suggest the representatives were already within close proximity to where we live. When I rang the number, I spoke to a Mr. John ****, CEO. My offer to pay the processing fee directly to his representatives when they handed over my wife's winnings was declined and I was asked to wire the fee through Western Union immediately to a Clara **** at an address in New Mexico.

A gentleman by the name of Fred ** (with a Middle Eastern accent) from Winners International called me claiming I won a prize. I told him never to call me again, and he asked why? I told him I was not going to fall for his scam and he got very rude and said it was not a scam. I then told him not to ever call me and he kept asking why and I said because I said so. I also said if he called again I would call the police. He told me he didn't care if I called the police.

This morning I received a call from a fake company, Winner's International claiming I had won $50,000.00 US dollars. Apparently, I had filled out a form at a local Walmart,which doesn't exist near us! She asked if I would like to make the claim. I said, yes, knowing that this must be a scam. She said I need to buy a Western union or Moneygram for $250.00 in order to make the claim when they arrive with the check.

They called stating I won $250,000.00 but I need to send them $500.00 to pay taxes. Now he is upset with me especially when I called the tax laws. I won’t send money, period. But it is getting intense.

Today I received the same you have won $2.5M call that many of you have received. Since I had checked out a previous scam involving Western Union, I immediately knew what was going on. After much wrangling, he threw the religion pit at me, how honest he is and would never lie to anyone. I asked if I looked his company up on the net, if it would be there. He said I should trust him since he is a Christian man and would never lie. He asked why I thought it was a scam. I said, "Well, if you work of a multimillion dollar firm, they surely would have hired someone with more education than you have. Someone that you could understand and they wouldn't ask for any money. They would just give me the money." I told him I would have the police at my house waiting for him, so we could all go to the bank together. He hung up. How did they get my name and address? I wonder.

The address provided for Winners International appears to be false. The address doesn't exist on mapping sites, and there is a company called "West Winner International" in Great Neck, NY, but no Winners International company in Island Park, NY.

I gave him my first name and he verified the last name and zip code.

James ** called asking for my elderly dad claiming he had won $185,000 and it was coming in check. He claimed the chief accountant, Andrew ** at **, Austin, Texas 78745 would be calling him back to confirm the information. My dad asked how he had won the lottery. Mr ** said my father had put his name in a box at Kmart, Walmart or a company like that which had an in-store lottery. James ** said that 2 FBI agents would be on hand to witness his signature for the check. I got on the phone and told James** that I looked his company up on the internet (I heard him tell my father he needed 5%) and it came up as a phone scam and that I was ending the conversation.

On 07/16/2010 at 4:03pm EST I received phone call that caller ID showed from Kingston Jamaica ** when a woman confirmed my name and said I was the winner of $2.5 million dollars. I said, "And how did I do that?” She immediately said one minute & put a man on the phone who again called my name and I confirmed as he said, "You have just won $2.5 million dollars.” He rattled off my address and said, "We need to come by to bring your winnings" and I played along knowing it was a scam because Kingston JM would not be giving away money to the U.S. when I've never had any dealings with Jamaica, not even a vacation so I said you can put it in the mail. I said, "To whom am I speaking anyway?” He said this is Winners International, do you know where Baltimore is? "

I was contacted by this guy who was very difficult to understand, who called himself James **. He stated I had a package that was to be delivered. I asked him what the package was about, and he said something I did not fully understand. I asked to speak with someone else who could explain it better and Peter came on the line. He stated I was supposed to have been contacted by someone named Mark because I won $4.5 million and the package was to be delivered today. I needed to give the $299.00 to have the package delivered.

The first time he called, I just hung up because he said something about I won a Mercedes Benz and $150,000, I didn't believe one word (of what I could understand, had a very thick accent). He called back immediately and I went along with him for a few minutes, he claimed I won this "prize" because I paid my utility and water bills on time, well here's the thing. I live in the country, we have well water and do not have any gas, the only bills we pay are for electric, so there is another big red flag!

I had won $2.5 M but I needed to call Henry ** at ** to pay $480 to receive delivery of a check. He gave me check number **. I requested Glenn ** to fax me a copy of the information addressing the nature of the call; he sent a congratulation letter with a copy of the check in my name from the banking center of Nevada. Mr. Glenn ** called from Jamaica. I told Mr. ** that I would give the delivery person a money order for the amount when I receive delivery of the check because I would deposit the money in my account and would not give my personal information to someone I don't know.

John ** has been harassing my aged mother for over a month; four phone calls this morning, sometimes late at night or early morning, promising millions with various ways for her to pay them, $150.00 first, sometimes more, and asking for her bank account. He somehow found her cell phone, promising to meet her at her bank, and claims they are now in Pennsylvania.

This guy kept calling me. He started a few months ago congratulating me for winning a monthly drawing through Winner's International. Apparently, I "won" 1.2 million. Of course, I didn't believe him and kept inquiring. He said the television crew was right down the street waiting for me to pay the shipping/processing fee of $295. Of course, I had to string him on and told him I had no money and needed to talk to my husband. He was very reassuring and I can see how people would get caught up in his lies. He kept pushing, asking how much money I had. I told him $50, so he said he would stay on the phone while I paid. I pretended to be at the Western Union and to be paying.

I have received calls from these people several times, recently. I am supposed to have won a large sum of money, but I am being asked to wire a sum of money to a Robert **, Ashland, KY 41101. They became indignant when I told them it sounded like a scam. I hung up, but they continued to call back. Finally, they said they would send me the details of my good fortune in the mail. I doubt that they will, but that will give me more information to report to the authorities. Don't fall for this scam.

David told me that I had won $550,000 and it was being held at the US Marshall's office at Portland International Airport and that they had already covered $25,000 in taxes. They had a Wells Fargo Certified Cashiers Check for $550,000 and all I had to do was pay $1,795 which would be refunded after I picked up my winnings. I believe this is a hoax and I am not going to hand over $1,795 to someone in order to be awarded a prize. Has anyone else been offered this type of sweepstakes winner prize?

On March 8, 2010, I received a call from a man with a thick accent informing me that I had won $150,000. I hung up on him. He called back immediately. I told him that I had not entered any sweepstakes. He stated that I won because I had shopped at Walmart and paid my bills on time. I told him that if I really was a winner, then he would know my name. He said he could not see my name because there was something wrong with his computer screen. He said all he needed to know was my occupation, whether I had a valid ID and my marital status. He said a check would be delivered to my house "tomorrow". He said the name of his company was Winner's International and that he was calling from Las Vegas. He was obviously not professional, as the answers to my questions were vague. I put my husband on the phone, thinking that the man would hang up. He insisted to my husband that he was for real. We looked up the company and found this website. My husband told the man to give the money to someone else.

I received a cell phone call from Michael ***. He told me, in a very slow, methodical manner, that I had won a lottery because I shopped at Walmart. There was a certified check for me for the amount of $850,000. He went on to say that there had been an attempt to deliver this check to my home last week. This check, he said, was approved by the U.S. treasury, and even Pres. Obama's signature was on this check. In order to receive this prize, it was incumbent on me to go immediately to a Western Union at the local Walmart. The addressee was Danique ***, Newport Jamaica, W.I. When I remarked "West Indies?", he said that it actually stood for his company, Winners International. I was instructed to call him back after I wired $500 to the W.I. address. He said that I had to complete this task within twenty minutes because the check was en route to my house by UPS and two lawyers, who would confirm my ID. I never went. They never came. He continued to call all night. What a shame that it was a scam.

On 5-1-10, a caller P/L stated I had won $250,000. To get it, I would have to send $220 to Mr. Delono **, Hanover, Jamaica, through Western Union. The delivery was at 3:30. Just show ID, receipt from WU, and have the claim # ** he provided. I called the police. They suggested “Do not pay.” I knew I wasn't going to. When we called back with delivery time, I told him to give the money to someone else, and hung up. Now I am sending this. If they show up at 3:30 with the money, I will let you know.

The gentleman had a heavy accent, and he told me I had won $2.5 million. My prize package #SK2 was the unique ID for the prize. I was to wire $375.00 Western Union to Eustace Ellis in Bronx, New York. When I told him I was unemployed and did not have that kind of money, he stated he would talk to his supervisor and call me back with arrangements on the fee. He called back with an amount of $200.00, because he lied to his boss and told them I was disabled.

I was sent a letter stating we have won million dollars and to send $20.00. Twenty dollars was sent and then they started calling, asking for money to processing, taxes, etc. We sent the money they keep asking for and no money (million dollars) was ever sent. The total amount we sent was $6000.00. That was for a car and million dollars. Even after we sent the $6000.00 and never got anything in return, they still keep calling for more money. We did finally stop sending and accepting their calls.

My mother received a phone call that she had won over $500,000 and a new car, but to claim, this she had to send $699.10 by Express Postal Money Order to the address above. When I took the call from her and asked questions, I was told the company ran the raffle and selected winners from a list of people who paid their utility bills on time. When I questioned how he could possibly get that information, he changed the subject.

I received a call from "John Wayne." This man had a very thick accent though. He claimed I had won $1.5 million and stating I would need to pick it up from Money Gram. First, though, I would have to pay a delivery fee of $360. I informed him I did not have that kind of money and told him I would not be able to accommodate him.

Perpetrator left a message on my telephone stating that I had won $1.5 million dollars. I returned the call and he informed me that I would have to pay $399.99 in order to receive the funds. I had my daughter look up this company on the internet and found that there had been reports of scam. Therefore, I am reporting this incident.

I keep getting calls informing me that I am a sweepstakes winner. I have been getting these calls since January 27. To get my winnings, I only need to send insurance money to guarantee the winnings will get to me. Each time I get a call, I've either won $5 million dollars, $2.5 million dollars, a car, a combination money and a car. The callers are persistent. Some days, I get 3 calls from them. I keep telling them I will not send them any money but they continue to call. One caller even cursed me then hung up. The next day, a woman started to call me telling me I had won a radio contest. I no longer answer my phone but still get the calls. I am beside myself. Is this not harassment?

Somebody call me and said that I won a prize of 9.5 million dollars. This person asks me to send 50.00 dollars to insure the money. Then the next day, he asks me to send 350.00 dollars and then I will get my price. I did send the 50.00 dollars to Jamaica and they keep calling me saying that it is not a scam but I don't believe this person. Tell me what I should do. I send them the last 50.00 dollars I had and it was my gas money. I cannot do anything to recover that money and I won't send anymore.

I received a call from James Y telling me that I had won $3.5 million and a 2009 Mercedes-Benz. He said that there was a processing fee of $44.60 and I should go to the Western Union and send it to Marvin W at Montego Bay, Jamaica. I went to the Western Union and did as he ask which costs me $11.99 so all together I spent $56.95. When I got back home, he called back and asked if I sent the money to Mr.W. I told him that I had. Then he proceeded to tell me that the check would have to be insured which would cost me $70 and for me to send it to the same place. So I went bank to the Western Union and sent the $70 which cost me another $11.99 that came to a total of $81.99.

I received a call on January 7, 2010 stating I am the winner of $1.25 million. I received the call at my work number and when I told them I did not buy it, Josh wanted to verify my address of which was my old work address from 5 years ago. Josh said this is legitimate and we will give you a FedEx tracking number and a bank statement, but he needed information from me first. I hung up on him. Then today, January 11, 2010, Josh has attempted to call my office phone number twice this morning. I know this is a fraud. I will not take his calls nor would I ever give anyone my information. I hope no one else would give their personal information out to anyone over the phone.

A very thick-accented Jamaican man called to say we had won 2.5 million dollars and that he would hand deliver to my house tomorrow. Before he could do that though, I would have to Western Union his money to cover the insurance fees necessary to cover the check. He was very insistent that they were legitimate even though I could hear babies crying in the background and it was clear that he was not calling from a professional organization. When I hung up on him the first time, he called back again. The next time he called, I told him my husband is a police officer and he didn't call back a third time. I'm saddened that some people may fall for this scam and send these crooks their hard earned money. Beware! They said their office is located in Las Vegas, NV. I'm sure it's a fake address.

I also have the fuel sensor problem on my 2006 Frontier. It's nice that you pay $27,000 for a vehicle and then have to pay another $500 for repair of a part that obviously is faulty. You would think they would recall these faulty parts instead of ignoring the fact that they screwed up. Thanks, Nissan. I like the way you do business.

I received two phone calls from them saying that I had won 2,500,000 dollars. The first one said that I would need to pay a fee of $300. I said no and the 2nd call was from the Claiming Department/Robert **. I requested a mail copy of my winnings.

I received a letter in the mail about 2 months ago from this so-called sweepstakes in another country, about me being the winner of 1.5 million dollars. All they needed was $250.00 to get the government to let them come over and hand me a check, then we would go to the bank. Toni called me up today - 10/17/2009 - and reminded me of the letter. He asked me about the money and I asked what was the catch? He said, "No catch." So I asked him how much it would cost me to get the prize money. He said $250.00. So I asked for a # that I could call him back with a response in a couple of weeks. He gave me this # today and I called him back to confirm the # was good and it was. Please go get him. He also gave me a Package code: KITCHEN SINK. He told me to ask for the code if some other company was to call me so I would know they were legit. That is his # and he did say he was with The Winners International.

Mark ** called me on my home phone this morning, 10/17/09, at about 10:30AM telling me I won money. He claimed I shopped at Walmart and pays my bill on time is what qualified me to win $2,000 and $250.000,000. Mark ** said I will get the $2,000 cash today, 10/17/09, and $250,000,000 on the following Monday. The state marshall will escort me to the bank according to Mark **, but he wanted $78.02 from a MoneyGram sent to Raldean **, Portland Jamaica, WI, before I could receive the $2,000 cash today. I told him no, I will not send him anything. I requested his information so I could investigate this company and he gave me this information.

So this guy has been calling my phone for about a week now. The guy tells me (in his really heavy Jamaican accent), “Congratulations, Ms. **, you have won 2.5 million dollars.” Immediately, I thought scam! To confirm that I was indeed the person he wanted to speak with, he actually recited my address to me, which in itself was a bit unsettling. I told the guy I was uninterested and asked him to stop calling. Well, a few days later, this same guy called congratulating me again. He said that he did not want to cancel my $2.5 million check. He went on to say that all I needed to do was to go to a MoneyGram or Western Union and send them a "processing fee" of... get this... $750.00! My goodness, I couldn’t believe it.

Jeff ** repeatedly called my wife to state that she has $65,000 waiting for her at Western Union. He stated she needs to pay a $199 fee to collect money. I called Jeff directly and told him to put her number on the do not call list and never call again. He attempted to argue with me until I threatened legal action. At that point, he hung up.

I received a call on my cell phone indicating I had won 1.2M US dollars as a result of a random computer selection of my address. He alleged it was based out of Las Vegas, NV. He read off my home address & stated I would receive delivery of 95% of the winnings but I would have to cover the other 5% as "shipping & administrative costs" since this was an international sweepstakes. He provided me with a number to call, 206-453-0454 to verify the funds available & amount to be received. I was given account #** to give to the one who answered for verification. He instructed me to call him back immediately after I had verified the funds & also gave 876-581-0276 as an alternate number to call him back (interestingly, this is a Jamaica area code). I questioned the legitimacy of his call as no money is ever requested by a true lottery or sweepstakes & he quickly stated he could give me all kinds of numbers & people to contact to verify. He was very smooth. I could see how many people would be caught up in thinking they had won a large sum of money. I am concerned that they will try to access my personal information or ID. Although they already have my address & obviously my cell & work number, I have not given them any personal information.

I was contacted via phone by the above-named person and told me I had won $2.5 million as a 2nd place winner in some contest. I was told there was a 2009 Lincoln as part of the prize and in order to receive the Lincoln and the prize money, I would need to send $765.00 via Western Union to Kanda **. I was told that I could send the money to Atlanta, but the amount would be $3,968.00 and since it is a lot less in Jamaica, I should send the money to that address. The caller said I only had until the 8th of August to claim my prize and it would be best to claim my prize as soon as possible.

They call claiming from Nevada, Las Vegas that you won $3.5 million, you just need to send money to David ** at **. I was defrauded $1000 or more.

Michael ** called me saying I had won $3,532,000. He kept wanting me to go send Donnie ** $299 by Western Union. He said if I would do that right now, he would have Donald Trump here this afternoon. He said there would be lots of TV people here. He also didn't want me to tell anyone. He said it should be a surprise to my husband.

They called and stated that I was the winner of $2.5 million and a 2009 Mercedes Benz. They faxed five pages of information and told to read it carefully. It included a picture of the car and a copy of a check made out to myself for $2,500,000. Document said I needed to send $1,375 to Winners International Merchant Bank. I did not send the money.

I was contacted by a Paul, who said that I had won a $3.5 million lottery. I was informed by him to wire $1250 to an Alecia, so I can collect my money. I sent the transaction, and they said that they were at an airport near my location. But nobody ever showed up to bring me any money. The money I sent had already been withdrew out of Western Union when I tried to call and cancel the transaction. Now, they are calling me and telling me that I need to send them $2500 more to complete the transaction. They won't stop calling, and they have the $1250 I sent them already. I tried to tell them to just send it back, but they told me to get a lawyer if I want my money back.

The caller (has accent and a little difficult to understand) keeps calling my business number telling me to give my name and address, and that I have won over a million dollars. Another call came from a woman telling me the same and to call the same number. She gave me her number of **. No name or address was given to these callers. I informed them this was a business number, but they were still persistent.

Mr. ** called and said I won second place sweepstakes of $2.5 million with $250,000 of it in cash to be delivered at my residence along with a check for the remaining balance. He said taxes had already been taken out by IRS and that the rest would be delivered to me by him and 3 others, one being a Marshall and FBI agent. All I had to do is pay for the money's travel insurance and send a Moneygram of $250.

Mr. ** called my 88 year old mother. They proceeded to have a lengthy conversation about her $2.5M winnings, a tax deduction for his company to be socially responsible in these times of recession, with phone numbers to prove that money was being deposited in an account. Proof! She told him to call back later when I would be home. Sure enough, he wanted her to send a mere $2,800 to cover expenses to the Nova Scotia Bank. She gets at least one call a week from someone (usually from out of the country who she can't understand) and at least 5 pieces of mail each day with similar promises.

I received a phone call too at 1200 hours and this man with a Jamaican accent said that I won 2.5 million dollars and that a UPS delivery man was in Georgia and could deliver this money today. He said that the computer was reading that I only had to pay processing and tax of $225.99 to receive my confirmation and delivery codes, etc. I felt like it was a scam and I didn't offer them a dime, but they said that they would call back this afternoon when I got off work to see what we could work out. I have not and do not plan on giving up any money. To all that may read this, please do not let yourself be scammed by these people.

This morning, a man called here telling me I had won $11,500,000.00 but in order to claim my money, I needed to send him $750.00 in order to claim my prize. Right then, I knew it was a scam but I was curious just to see what these people were up to. So I acted like I was going along with it. He has called me a total of 12 times today harassing me about not sending the money yet. First, I was supposed to wire the money to a Mr. Waden ** and then when I gave him a hard time, he changed the name to Michael ** at Kingston Jamaica Winners International. They are rude and will not leave me alone!! Just now, they called again and I told them I had reported them and it was scam and he started yelling at me!! The funny thing is that there were roosters crowing in the background!! Please, do not fall into their trap!! Thanks for your time and I thought I would just get this out there so more people don't get fooled!!

Joe called to say he was from Las Vegas and represented Readers Digest and that I won 2.7 million dollars plus a 2008 Mercedes Benz car from the Readers Digest Winners International sweepstakes. In order to accept delivery of the car, I had to send $450 via Western Union to a Necordo ** at above address. If I sent the money, I would wipe out my savings and fear someone else will be targeted.

William of Townsend GA (07/10/08)Some women called saying I won $525.000.00 I had to send $1000.00 to Kemar in St Marys Jamaica to draw up the paper work, once that was done she would call me with an account number to Bank of America to pick up winnings 15 min she calls me and was just about to give me anccount # when she said that I would have to send Uriah and Angus of St Marys Jamaica $5000.00 for IRS form and other docunments from the bank she keeps calling to see if I sent the money yet, she said all you need is $2500.00 because she put up the $2500.00 is this a scamm?I lost $1000.00 to these people
