SCAM
I, too, have received several calls recently from Winners International. They are telling me that I too was the winner of 2.5 million dollars, and also a convertible mercedes. I even so much as told them to call my local police station and talk to an officer. And that if he would call me, and tell me this is all on the upty up, that I might go along with it. I was told that they were already in the town where I lived and that they needed me to pay $199.00 for them to deliver the car to me, and that they would also give me a check when the car was delivered, and I was to pay them $2, 500 also out of the check that they were giving me. Truthfully, I never believed a word of it. The man however, did call the police dept. and talked to the officer that I had talk to before this man had a chance to call. The policeman told me not to go for it. Infact he told the guy to bring the car by the police dept. so that he could see for himself, then he would give me a call. The man, with a unusal accent calls me then one more time. When I finally told him I was not going to go for it, he started cursing me out something terrible. He then hung up and I hung up. But today, a different man called me. And I too, reported this to the police. Not much more can be done.
I conscider myself LUCKY

Contest Scam
Second time contacted about winning 2.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes Benz. Only cost me $300. I knew this had to be phoney. I got name of company and Googled it and low and behold everyone has found it to be a scam. The contact was of some asiana decent that I had troubles understanding. He gave me a phone number of the company but after Googling them I don't plan on calling.
Who can we turn this over to for legal recourse or investigation?

sweepstakes scam
The scam also runs under the name of Winners Paidout International. They start the call out saying they are with UPS and then the story can be all over the place from a raffle, sweepstakes, or paying your bills ontime with a credit card.
The calls are normally of poor quality and most of the people have a heavy accent. I have been contacted numerous times for over four weeks wanting to know when I'll send the documentation/processing fee so they can send me my check for $2.5 millon dollars.
I have talked with at least two males and two females. One female claimed to have been a bank manager for over 20 years yet she says "sugar" and "sweety" in reference to me.
Lots of red flags and they are persistant.
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!

wanting money wire to claim winning
My 86 year old mother in law received a phone call from someone named Michael Montgomery with Winners International. He told her she won $250, 000 and a car. All she needed to do was go get a money gram for $299.00 to cover taxes and fees. Then someone would meet her to get the check and 20 min later they would be at her house with the car and money. He also claimed to be a christian and gave her a story about this being real. He really played on her emotions and her being a christian. Thankfully the place where she was to get the money gram was closed and the people who have her cellphone called to say there was suspicious calls to and from Jamaica on her account.

SCAM
I got a phone call at 10am and the guy called from 1-876-487-8891 and said to call 1-876-446-4008. I had won 2.5 million dollars. I thought yeah right. I called the number and the lady's name was Beverly Simmons, and she said that my VISA credit card application gave my a nomination for this award. BUT I have never used my VISA and I just got it in the mail. They said that I needed to get a money gram from $250.00. I told them I didn't have $250.00 and Beverly told me that the Tresurey department could take care of half, but I still had to pay $125.00. I am not going to pay to recieve money. I asked if they could take the $125 out of the winings and she said I couldn't because that money is mine and they can't touch it. The money would be great, but I don't remember signning up for a $2.5 million dollar sweepstakes. I wish there was a way to get back at these people. It is cruel to tell someone that their dreams are answered and then take from them. WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T GIVE MONEY TO GET IT, ESPECIALLY IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

Attempted psycological techniques
About every three months, I get a call from a number with area code 876. My caller id and phone bill state that this call is coming from Jamaica. The first time they called, a Jamaican man tried to tell me that I won a 2010 Mercedes-Benz and 2.5 Million Dollars. Being the educated and quite skeptical person that I am, I knew it was a scam. I tried to ask the individual how I "won" this contest, since I haven't entered any. He stated that I made a purchase somewhere and that automatically put me in this contest. I then asked him what I purchased. He said he could not tell me and that they were just the delivery company. I then hung up. He called again but I just let the phone ring. Today, I got another call from someone with the same area code. Geared with having heard their pitch before and very upset that they keep attempting to contact me, I was ready for a fight. So, this time the person's name is Anthony. He says right away that they will be delivering my prize today. This time, the prize is a 2010 BMW 7 Series and $10, 000. I hit him with all the information I already knew about them. He tried every psychological trick in the book to try to convince me that "Winners International" is a legit company and that "he" would never lie to me. He even tried (knowing that I am in Ga and in the Bible-Belt) to use God and religion to try to sway me. He also continuously told me that I sounded like a very intelligent person. I can see right through all of this. I made it clear that I know that they are scamming people and that I know they haven't been caught because they are outside the U.S.. He then tried to tell me that he was located in Las Vegas and he was unsure why my caller id would tell me that it was Jamaica. He even said he would give me 20 minutes to think about paying the deposit to recieve my prize. He said to call him back, and of course, I don't. So he calls me instead. This time, he uses a Georgia number. Like, I am going to buy that!!! He asks me what my decision is, I say, "I don't think so, I am not interested". He again, insists I take a week to think about it. Anyways, if these Jamaicans call you and tell you have won anything, don't believe it- no matter how convincing they are. They are trying to find people that they can scam. They are looking for people who are gullible and don't know any better.

Trying to Scam Money/Account Numbers
Foreign Speaking gentleman called my Mother this morning trying to convince her that she and my Father had won a very large sum of money and that they were to go to Western Union and purchase a Golden Seal Stamp and receive a reciept for it. Then on Tuesday someone else would be calling and that they will need forms of identification, such as drivers license and bank information and that two federal marshalls would be delivering this money to them. My parents are both elderly and I am genuinely worried for their safety. Where do these people get all of their nerve from to prey on innocent individuals?

sweepstakes scam
Received a phone call on my cell from Ann Marie Bradford from Winners International claiming that I had won $750, 000 from a Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. She said that in order for the prize to be released I would have to wire $2, 500 to an attorney. I told her I did not have that much money and the amount was reduced to $1, 500. I told her again that I could not get that kind of money and she suggested that I pawn my car and she would call the next day to give me further instructions. She started calling the next day at 8AM. I did not answer and she repeatedly called for a total of 24 calls so far and this is the first day.

Rude and Pushy Phone Call on Cell
Two men, very thick acents called my cell repeatedly, persistent and rude, caller said I had won 18.5 million or 8.5 million and that I had to pay $50 in order to get my money. Obviouslythey have my cell phone and said they had my email address. I asked to remove me from their list do not use my information, and when asked how they got my info said when you spend over $20 then said $25 at walmart using a card automatically entered in drawing. Really?! Now, what do I do to protect myself?

Restricted calls on my cell phone
I have been receiving numerous phone calls on my cell phone saying I had won a monetary prize of 3.5 million dollars, all because I paid my bills on time. This has been going on for about three months. Every time they call I refuse the prize and someone else will call the next time( on a restricted phone line) Today I stayed on the phone long enough to ask questions and the gentleman was very patient giving me information. He said they represented MGM GRAND FROM LAS VEGAS. Their company name was Winners International and their phone # was 1876 587-1148. He gave me a winner i.d. #, ck #, package #, and told me all I needed was two forms of government. I.D.'s and asked what time could they deliver this check. I told him I could not tell him what time because I needed to run this by my husband- who is actually is the only one working and paying the bills not me. He said my name came up because the bills I was paying on time were under my name. I hung up with him and looked up this company(winners international) and found all these scams.I reported the phone number to Verizon- they assured me they did not give away any information- so if they are not giving away any information on how I pay my cell phone on time, who else has access to when I pay my bills?
