Claimed PCH
I received a call from Berthoud Co. They claimed to be with PCH and wanted me to purchase magazines and wanted my credit card information which I did not give. When I said that I only had 83 cents they hung up.

Attempted scam by PCH
I was called on 01/18/2016 on my cell phone at my home. She gave me her name and Badge Number (#0025), and informed me that out of 755 names in Texas, I had won $955,000.00 (check #US865862003174), confirmation #157934. I should go to the nearest Walmart store where I would execute the documents to ensure that I had the check personally delivered to my front door. I would be required to pay a fee of $559.00 to cover my part of the IRS required taxes. When I objected she put her Manager on the line, who tried to convince me that it was a small price to pay to get such a large sum. I informed him that I could not pay them until I had received their check and it had cleared payment. Then I informed him that I actually have $559 that I could risk, and he hung up!

I told them about mg warning me about scam that I have not meet that person, he said they may be right it's just a precaution for those imposters but here he is telling me that this is 100% legit, he said I can guarantee you that once you settle this fee no one will tell you different. he said without any further complications. that payment is be out to Mrs. Hidelisa Sanchez address St. Peter, Missouri 63376.

I have been scammed by Tim Householder working with Helena Simpson, and Christina L. Olberding and the funds receiver
Tim notified me that he just won $100,000.00 as of Jan. 15th , 2016, and as he was receiving the CASH from the UPS driver, he saw my name as one of the winners. He told me to pay $1250 for the insurance and delivery, then in 3 hrs. I would see a truck drive up and deliver me the money. Then he put me in contact with Helena Simpson through 'friend' at Facebook. She guided me to the form at Wal Mart and then to go home and wait for further instructions. When I returned, she then said it would take 15 min. to see that the money would transfer in. Then she notified me that they would need another $5,000 and that this was the last of the money I would need to pay out to receive the $100,000.00. She gave me 3 hours to 'decide', but hoped I wouldn't pass up this wonderful opportunity. Talking with Tim, saying he had his money in the bank and they were totally on the up and up.
I called the FBI who then Greg told me from the Honolulu office, to go on line and put in a formal complaint which I hope this is doing for me.
I'm educated and usually skeptical, but because this was a classmate I knew, I was unsuspecting. All the typical phrases went through my mind--there's a sucker born every day, 'Bernie Madeoff wanna be for Tim, many more.
FBI told me that if enough people complained, they would do something about it. I hope he doesn't get away with this. He recently underwent brain surgery so somehow you think that he wouldn't be involved in a scam to steal money, but he is. The money is gone, but the tracking no. 37603158 From Wal Mart money gram from Millie Evans, 2266 Auhuhu St., Pearl City, HI 96782
I was scammed by a sweetheart swindler he was called where I worked with the FBI to get him jailed and because of my testimony, he spent jail time for his white collar crime done to me. Here I am again, showing my stupidity, but this time, I am certainly not afraid to turn in these crooks as I did a lot of years back. His name was Richard Tan, and because of that, he was denied to enter our country.
Why do I say this? To let you guys know I SO appreciate you going after the bad guys.
