330-910-9167

Received a phone all from “Publisher Clearing House” I had won $4.5 Million Dollars/2026 Mercedes Benz/$7,000/trip for 2 to Las Vegas. I was to take down his information NAME / PCH, 330-910-9167 / Badge #001PCH / Protection Code - 772US / Tix # 1345789. Then came the personal questions, confirming my name/marital status/#of children/Beneficiary for the winnings. Those questions were not answered and because I didn’t answer them we could not continue. Despite the fact that I mentioned that I had been targeted in the same way more than once and told him I thought this was a scam, he continued with the questioning. When I refused to go further, I was told that when I chose to cooperate (his words) that I could call him back and provide the information to continue on to verify my information to collect my winnings. I phoned the number that appeared on my phone (614#) not the 330 number he provided - he answered and I advised that I was doing some background intel on him. He did not seem concerned.
