I got a letter Saturday from Publishers Clearinghouse with a check for $7947 saying I had won. They said the check was to cover my out of pocket expenses that I would have before receiving my earnings. The letter said once I had cashed the check to call them for further instructions. The check was not from Publishers Clearinghouse so I called them to get more info. A man with a very heavy accent tried to explain the whole process but he was very hard to understand. Something didn’t seem right to me so I called the BBB who told me this is a scam.

His name is George W. Williams (or at least that is what he said) he said he was General Claims Agent for Publishers Clearing House and I won 7 months ago and they were going to be at my house tomorrow morning with my prize money, just like on TV. He needed my debit card number so that he could deposit some money in my account to confirm the deal. I wouldn’t give it to him and so he kept calling me back. Saying I was refusing my winnings and I told him no I am not, I will expect them tomorrow, I am just NOT giving you any of my account information. I told him I was reporting him to the ScamPulse.com and he stated that is ok it will come directly to my face book page……
