A Mr. Michael Powell called from 845-887-1286 on March 12, 2021. Informing me that I won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. He needs my e-mail address so he can send the form for me to complete to claim the prize winnings. I got an e-mail from: PublishersClearing House <[email protected]> To: [email protected] with 7 pages of information that I needed to look over and send back. I read it and refused to fill out the Reimbursement Form page. I told Mr. Powell that I don't think this sounds right. He assured me that the money is for the federal government and that I will get reimbursed the amount. I told him that I don't have that kind of money and for him to send me my winnings and I will pay the federal government myself out of the winnings. He stated he would have to check with his Supervisor and he would let me know. I never heard from Mr. Powell since. I went on-line and looked up the names (Michael Powell, Frank Moss, Hellen Brown, Benjamin Clover, Clive Washington, and John Tyler). It turns out to be a scam. I am glad that I didn't fall for it. Please let others know about this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. I have attached the Winners Circle (7 pages) form that Mr. Powell sent me and a one page from off line in regards that this is a scam.

I got a call from a Mr. Michael Powell from 845-887-1286 on March 12, 2021. He stated that I am a winner and won the PCH Sweepstakes. He gave me his name (Michael Powell), name of the company (PCH), his Badge # (4948), and his personal line 845-684-9317. He took my e-mail address ([email protected]) so he could send me the information of what I need to do to claim the prize. He stated that I would need to look over the document and send it back. I look over the pdf document and refused to send it back because I felt something was wrong about it. I told him that this doesn't sound right and I refused to fill out the Reimbursement Form (for $3,500) because I don't have the kind of money. He assured me that I would be reimbursed the money and that need to pay the federal government. I told him that I can pay the federal government, just send me the money and the prizes I won. He said he would need to speak to his Supervisor. I never heard back from Mr. Powell since that day. I have attached the Winners Circle Announcement of what I won (7 pages) and the first page of the scam I found on-line in regards to the names (Michael Powell, Frank Moss, Hellen Brown, Clive Washington, and John Tyler) (1 page). Please let others know about this scam so others may be aware of what people are trying to do.
