Publishers clearing house fraud from Baldwin NY
Had a voice message on my cell phone at 10:22AM that I won a PCH prize. Then a “missed” call at 11:21AM from the same number. Automatic red flag since I don’t give my cell number to anyone other than relatives and close friends.
Received a call stating I was a winner and call this number 516-206-4075.
received a message stating the person was unavailable leave a message.
WASTE OF TIME!
Robocall saying I was winner for publishers clearinghouse and call this number.
Got a robocall that I won something in the PCH sweepstakes and to call 516-206-4075. Called it and voice mail said nobody was available and to leave a message. Quite sure it's a scam of some kind.
I received an automated call stating that I had won a prize from Publisher's Clearing House. I haven't entered a PCH sweepstakes for a few years and I don't recall them ever asking for a telephone number on an entry form. One site I searched reported that this is a cell phone and not a land line.
Received a call stating I was a winner in the PCH sweepstakes. I was instructed to call this number, 516-206-4075. I tried calling 3 times and always received a message stating the person was unavailable, but leave a message and someone would get back to me. I left messages, but still haven't heard from anyone.
Call received about a Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes win and directed to call the listed number. Instead I am researching information about the number and discover I have to pay for a computer report, which I will not do. I think this could be a scam.
