I'm a Winner

Yes, I won 3.2 million dollars in the Publisher's Clearing House along with a Mercedes Benz. I told him I didn't believe him and he told me how he got my phone number. I laughed and hung up from him. If I had won 3.2 million in the Publisher's Clearing House giveaway, they would have been at my door with balloons and cameras. This is a new scam. At least I haven't heard of it before. Anyone else win the Publisher's Clearing House giveaway? Thanks for reading.

That’s a joke. I also encountered this kind of scam, someone called me telling me last 4 digit number of my phone won in the Lottery. As I was asking a lot of question, it ends up I need to send him money for the check to be delivered in my house. Crazy scammer.

Yes, that is a definite scam, because true winners have them come to your door with balloons as you said.

Yes, they do. The caller sounded like my grandson and I thought he was pranking Grandma. When I realized it wasn't him, I hung up. It was a good laugh though.

The only reason I didn't hang up immediately was that the caller sounded like my grandson. I thought he was playing a prank on Grandma. When I realized it wasn't him, yes, I hung up.

I saw it was a local area code so answered it. Most telemarketers have been different area codes. When I answered it I thought it was my grandson pranking me. It sounded like him. I asked the guy his name twice and he gave it to me both times. The second time I figured out it wasn't my grandson and hung up on him.

I'm glad you haven't. I wanted to tell you I saw an interesting picture on my computer a few days ago when I opened it up. The Bing home page had a picture of Gnomesville, located close to you. I wondered if that was the picture you've posted here. When I saw your city on the map, I thought about you.

Its why I've listed my phones with the National Do Not Call List. It doesn't stop them completely but at least now I can file complaints that I'm being abused.

@just4him The biggest issue nowadays is that there is computer technology that can mask a phone number. (The calling from number.) making it near impossible to catch the scammers.

Mine is from lottery. It's a big money. They told me that I won. They told me to get my price I had to open an account in the bank and lots of requirements. I was too excited. It seemed impossible for me to comply I gave up. And learned later from my that it's a scam.
