Division Of Global Financial Trust Bank, Brenda Johnson Publishers Clearing House, When I called to inquire about the report no offical name was given but I was asked what amount are you calling about winning. Knoxville Ontario Nationwide

I recieved a letter in the mail alleged from Publishers Clearing House, The letter is dated 12/02/2009. Keep this a secret until the money has been depoisted in my bank account.

The susposed amount of 12,800,000.00 in the form of a lump sum pay out from the International Lottery Corp.

I called just in case there was a small chance of some kind. A man answered never identifying himself or giving a company name. Asked me who I was and if I was calling about the 4 million dollar winnings. Stuned at the question I said no.

I asked to speak to Brenda Johnson following the instructions on the letter, I was told she was busie writting award checks and could not answer the phone.

I was then asked my phone number and how was I going to pay the fee of 1,300 dollars to cover the processing fees and lawyer fees. Also if I sent the money right away there would be no hold on my check.

They send a lawyer with me to make sure I could cash the check. then asked me for my account number. my reply was I don't give my account number to no one. Why did I have to send the money up front. Could it not be taken from the winnings.

Unknown man replyed: no, that is your money you won from "PHC" we are not allowed to take any money because we may take too much. Then I was told he was not going to stay on the phone playing games with me when I asked for futher proof. I was asked what futher proff do I need. Like a winners list. Then I was told if I wanted the winnings before 72 hrs was up I had to wire the money to them or lose the award.

I told him let Publishers Clearing House Keep the winnings. His reply I'm going to let you think about that.

For myself I was not out of any money but he was quite susprised when I said I did not have the money to pay for my winnings. I don' want people losing ktheir hard earned money over a scam like this. Times are just to rough.
