    I just got my call from Publishers Clearing House.
    While I didn't win the big prize I came in second!!. I know it will be enough so to live quite nicely.
    All I have to do is call them back and verify my identity.
    Will report again on my success after I call them.

    Remember to give them your SSN, Drivers Lisence, DOB, etc. They need to get this right. HAPPY RETIREMENT! :yippee:

    Thanks uta.
    I realize they will need to make sure I am who I am supposed to be before they send me the money.
    I called but they had closed for the night. You 'd think am American company would have Anericans running their message center
    I will call first thing in the morning and report back.

    When you speak with them would you mind asking how they handle auto warranties? I'm trying to decide which company to use and would like another opinion.

    Don't forget that they will need your bank account info, including CDs, IRAs, Keough, etc. Don't bother your investment advisor, just provide the caller your account info.

    Be sure to give them the credit card number. This seems important. They get peeved when I tell them it is green with a little red splashed around. They don’t like the blue one either

    Hahaha, good one horn67. I got a couple of those scam calls from filling in the HD survey where you can win $5000 so I finally got smart and quit.

    So I did call just to see if I could jack with them since I never actually entered the contest.
    They did start asking for verification of identify, SSN birthday. I asked how the name was entered on the form. It turned out to be my dog..
    Once I told them he only had his rabies vaxx number they hung up.
    2 things
    It is scary how info can be extracted from different sources on the Net and then gets used to scam people
    And I did call Publisher's Clearing House to complain. They never call anyone to tell them they are a winner. Only send mail

    Yeah OK, but what about the auto warranty?

    Seriously, it is scary what pretty much anyone with the desire can get their hands on these days...

    Not at all
    I may not have mentioned I am going to get plenty of money from a Nigerian Grandmother I didn't know I had since I am aspirin white. She entrusted her nephew and I to get her sizeable estate to USA.
    Any day now
    May Grannie RIP

    6721,

    Helpful hint: If you send your cousin $10,000, it will help him expedite getting your inheritance through the red tape.

    You just have to kmow how to negotiate. I only sent $3500 which was the cost of bribing some people at my Nigeruan grandmother's bank.
    And of course to help my Nigerian cousin with the expense of travel.
    Any day now I expect to hear from him.

    Then you better hope for a call from Publishers.
    There likely will be a new scheme any day now.
    I also keep getting warning calls from a spooky computer generated call that 2 or 3 hundred $$ is getting ready to be charged to my bank account unless I call the number.

    ^I keep getting notices that $xxx.xx has been charged to my Apple account for purchase of a laptop. Very interesting, considering that I don't have an Apple account.

    Good for you AC. This shows all us white people are not racist. If we were we wouldn't have so many people in Africa who trust us with their money.

    For the past 2 weeks I have had calls about the same time every afternoon from area code 197 which is Azerbaijan.
    Maybe I should finally answer. It might be another relative from the Khan side of the family

    Ah ha Vol
    You want to get the info my Khan relatives will tell me and then take my Azerbaijani inheritance

    One of the problems is I know if I answer my number moves to the top of every scammer in the world's list

    Hey 6721,

    If you talk to that Nigerian Grandmother again, remind her I did as she instructed and wired her $4500 in Oct. and I'm still waiting for the $ 1.2 MM distribution she promised!

    Worst
    I am sorry I have bad news. She died
    Which is why her nephew, apparently my uncle, got in touch with me so I could carry out her dying wishes of getting her vast wealth to United States.
    I am waiting to hear from my uncle. When I do I will be sure to mention you.
    You can trust me.

    Hey! I just got an email saying that I have won $1000 from Home Depote. I'm assuming that "Home Depote" must be the upscale branch of "Home Depot."

    "Home Depote" is the upscale brand for "Home Depot".

    Play hardball with them. I got them from $1000 to $2500
