They just did this to my Dad and he really wanted to believe that it was true he recieved a call yesterday morning they called him back and told him that he would be receiving a new Toyota Camry and a cash prize thru Bank of America. They supplied him with the Bank of America routing number and a check number (wich will not do anything for them, no way to verify the check). They then told him to go purchase the Green Card for $500.00 to cover the applicable taxes to put the car in their name in Alabama. He was told they would be there today with the car at 2:30 but then at 12:30 they called and said they were in town at the court house and having problems getting the taxes taken care of and he needed to go buy two more cards for $500.00 and meet them at the court house. At this time I pulled up the number by reverse phone serch and found all of these complaints. This is a BIG SCAM company and I hope that anyone else that looks up the number and finds these comments will not fall for any of it. PCH does not work this way. My family deserves a win but NO family deserves to be caught up in a SCAM like this one.

My mom received a call on last week stating that they were from publishers clearing house and that she was a prize winner. I called back on today 7/10/12 and found out that they wanted us to put 495.00 on a green dot card and that Amanda Davis (white) not the (black) news reported from channel 5 news and Dave Chambers will be coming to her house on tomorrow to bring her a brand new camry on a flat bed truck never been driven and we went and got the money and put it on the card but before we got it I started getting a little suspicious about the situation and I started to question it but went ahead a got the card anyway thinking maybe this is for real but when I got home started searching the internet to see if this is true or not now I finds out this is a scam so the money will go back to where it came from and they will never hear from us again and they better not call her in the morning either!

Elaine Meyers called first. Gave me the 718-312-0862 ext. 341 number to call.
Spoke with Rick Jergensen in claims department. He said that Dave Chambers and Amanda Davis would be coming to my home 7-13-2012 with a new Camry and a check for $250,000. He wanted me to get a 14 digit re-loadable Green Dot Money Pak Card. He said not to put any money on it, just buy the card and they would put the money on it. You have to put a minimum of $ 10.00 when purchasing the card. I called him and told him and he said no, don't do that. He said that they had already set up the presentation for tomorrow and because of time constraints wanted me to go to the Western Union and wire the money. I asked who it was for and he said the IRS. I told him that I lived 20 minutes from the IRS Service Center and I would deliver the money to the IRS personally. He said he would have his manager call me back with the details in about 10 minutes. They are getting very clever. It is easy to see why people fall for this scam. Be very careful!!!!!

Prize Offers: You Don’t Have to Pay to Play!
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel17.shtm

excerpt from FTC CONSUMER ALERT
A Dozen Ways to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it’s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:

1. Legitimate sweepstakes don’t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.

If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it’s not a prize at all.

Judith,
I just received a call from the same Rick Jergenson (ext. 341) telling me much the same story as you. And yes, the same "prize delivery people" Dave Chambers and Amanda Davis were also mentioned. 14 digit reloaded card that you maintain control over in your pocket...yah right. Thanks for the posting.

My alleged prize was 100K and a brand new Camry to be delivered on a flatbed truck. Sound familiar?
