I won Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes

[Ed P]

I'm not kidding, I got a call yesterday and the guy told me I won.
First Prize, $39 million and a new Mercedes 350.

As you can imagine, i was thrilled and I'm sure this was not some
scammer like you hear about. I asked him what color the car was and he
said it was black. Living here in the south, black is not good so I
said I wanted white.

We went back and forth on that a bit and seems we got disconnected.
Unless I get the color of my choice, I'm not accepting the prize.

I'll update this when they show up at my door with the check.

Scammers had some big hauls recently here :

Amazing (and sad) how some people are so easily taken in.

I've had some calls from "This is your TV service" but they are only
looking for about $200 but will give me a discount for the future. I
sometimes play with them and tell them I don't have a checking or CC so
have to pay by money order. They give me an address to send it to. Of
course, I do send something, a photo from a gay porn site. I'd love to
see their expression when they open it.

Jury Duty is another scam. You are getting fined for not showing up.

I would have asked him what I needed to do to claim the prize. If he
said I needed to pay anything or provide any financial account
information I would have asked how they got my name and address when I
didn't enter their sweepstakes. The answers to those questions would
have been worth posting.

Supposedly they announce first prize winners in person at the winner's
home address along with a camera crew to document the scene. At least
that's what their TV ads I've seen show. Unfortunately I have no first
hand knowledge of how true that is.
