Winners International review: scam 182

I have really enjoyed Mr. John Kennedy calling me from Winnners International. This was an obvious scam - wanting me to buy green dot cards and give him the number to pay taxes on my winnings of $2.5 million. He called me 67 times over a day and one-half. Finally tonight I told him that I enjoyed "playing with him". Then I started calling him at the same number from which he had called me. After about 100 phone calls he was begging me to stop calling him. It was so much fun. I told him I had to go to bed early because I had to slop the hogs in the morning and all kinds of stories about why I couldn't get the green dot cards for him.

The only way to stop these idiots is to harrass them more than they do you. The green dot cards should be outlawed. The cards are marketed by Visa and Mastercard and are issued by the Green Dot Bank, which is owned by Visa and Mastercard!

Yes I was contacted about a year ago from a man claiming to be Mr. JOHN FERNANDEZ saying that I had won 2.5 million also a merecedes benz in a years time he has coned me out of 4500. He had me sending money to a KEMAR RHODES in St Marys Jamaica claiming that he was the broker. This guy is a fraud. I finally spoke with the president I was told that Mr. JOHN FERNANDEZ was an employee of Winners International and that he would be fired right away I hope this is true. Now I am suppose to receiive documentation of all this in the mail if not I am contacting the FBI. So please beware of this man Mr. JOHN FERNADEZ and KEMAR RHODES

-T) hese ###s just called me, supposedly from Jamaica, the number it came from was [protected]. Perp stated that his name is Mr. James Anderson and that he is calling me from Winner's Int'l. That this matter is urgent and for me to call them back immediately regarding a certofoed check that they have for me. I know that this is ### and I have contacted the police giving them ALL of this information. If "Mr. Anderson" only knew how broke we are, he'd have a cow and realize that this 'pawn' is not worth the time. I hate those effers!

I received a call from a friend who had gotten calls from the number [protected] and said when he tried to call back he got an error code. I called the number and a man named Peter Douglas said I had an undelivered package and he needed to call me back in the morning because he was just leaving the office. He called back at 8:15 on Jan. 6, 2015 and I told him that I had called for a friend and gave him his number. He called back a few minutes later and said he did not want to speak to a man but to me. He had my name and address and told me I had won a car and $72, 000.00. I asked him how I had won and he said by using my credit and debit cards. He said he wanted to verify that I would be home so they could deliver my prize. He said he was just a delivery man and had worked at Publishers Clearing House as a delivery person. He said these people didn't want to just pop in. They wanted to be sure I'd be home to accept my prize. I told him I thought it was a hoax and he tried to change my mind but I told him to give the prize to someone else, I wasn't interested.

I received a call from a guy about 2 weeks ago, he said that i won 2.1 million dollarsand a brand new mercedes benz. but i had to send them $1200.00. for the processing /registration for the car. i said no thank you and hung the phone up. He kept calling me about 5 more times, he finally stop calling.Well today i received a call from the so called F.B.I. he said his name was, this is funny ( GARY COOPER).mind you that his accent was so so heavy like he was from haiti. unbelievable. he said that he was following up on International Sweepstakes that it was not a scam. its true thats why he was calling me to let me know its ok to send them the money.I told him i need to see some documents all about the 2.1 mil and the car, he said that the don't have a fax or e-mail. i hung up the phone. he kept calling me. so the next morning he called again around 6:45 a.m.He said he's in california. there time is 3 hrs back, so he called me 3:45 a.m. weird rite. there nothing but trash . they need to be caught put those scams away.

This lady sent me a face book friend request then sent this message Well we all at the usa womanfreebies company would like to say congratulation you were been selected for this month first place winner for $350, 000 and $1000 gift card weekly also 2015 Toyota Camry car once more congratulation! Angelica strebeck and it sent them 150$ now I'm broke they said they were delever in my stuff no later than 12 but lied and won't answer their phone and the woman deleted her face book .

Also just called by this company, a representative Andy Goldgerg asking if received their leeter/notification of my winnings. He was hard to understand. I gave very little info in the way of responses. He then started to say 'F*&% You ' to me over and over. I asked him if this is how he spends his day and I hope he gets arrested soon. Hi # is [protected]. What is wrong with people!?

Call you on the phone they tell you you won so many millions of dollars but in order to get it you have to send them some money first.

Well my information is this...all of the above...this very sweet man was very concerned with my health...did I have enough medicine...did I have enough money to buy my meds...He even told me that he would send me a money order and I was to take out all the money I needed to get my bank account straight...told him I was overdrawn which I am...he was very willing to help me but I needed to go and borrow money on my car and send him as much of $2500.00 as possible to pay taxes on my $250, 000.00 that I had won...I'm 70 years old and have lived long enough to know a scam when I hear one...but my husband does not trust anyone so threatens me for even talking to these people...he doesn't understand that I enjoy listening to the promises they make to you and even tell you they are a Christian and wouldn't ever do anything to hurt you and to trust them as much as they trust you...well yes I am a believer and one of the things I believe is that he will stand before God and answer for all the lies he has told poor people who believe him...I am just thankful I am not one of them... BEWARE of men with sweet talking foreign speaking voices...If you lose you money it's your own fault for not listening to us...because the officials won't help you.!

They are now using Facebook to try and scam people. I received a friend request from a MARK ALLEN whose timeline and profile say he's a UPS employee from Tennessee City, Tennessee. The next day I received a message via messenger stating I had won $90, 000, a 2016 Lexus, $1, 000 per month for the rest of my life and an Amazon gift card, no amount listed for the gift card. He wanted me to confirm my phone number and my full address. When I asked for some form of validation of the Company and him, he would only message back for me to confirm my information. He repeatedly asked for my phone number and full address. I gave him nothing. I think it's pretty low to use a person in anyway. I posted a warning to my friends. I unfriended and blocked him on Facebook.

I've received 3 calls today beginning at 1:05 AM this morning (EDT). Said I had won $3.5MM and had a certified check ready to send me. Said to call them back at [protected]. Caller identified himself as Bill. BEWARE! Total SCAM!

Call came in today June 9, 2017 man named Tony Simith said he was a UPS driver, had a certified check with Winners International, stating that we have won 250, 000 dollars and a Chevy Malibu.
Congratulated me on our win. Wanted to know how far the Post Office was from where we lived then said we would have to go to Wal mart to get the papers for taxes, and pay 1% with a money order to give them when they delivered the check for the money and car. Gave us all sorts of Confirmation numbers [protected] USA, [protected] USA, [protected], Phone # [protected]. My husband and I keep talking to him to waste his time and hopefully aggravate him. Hope some one out there can catch these people and put a stop to trying to take advantage of those that actually work hard to make a living.

I was just contacted by Wayne Walters @ [protected]. His email is waynewalters885@yahoo.com. He asked me if I had been getting his mail. I said no because I no longer live at that address. Of course he wanted my new address and I didn't give it to him. He said I had registered at Walmart back in 2010 and I had just now won. I told him that I was at work and I didn't have time for this nonsense. I said what did I win? I won a new car and a check. I asked OK how much money did I win? He said you have my phone number and that's when he gave me his email address and said it was private and he didn't want to give that information when everyone was around. I said you are not on speaker phone and I am in my office so no one can hear. He said it is private so call me when you get home. I bet I do! If these darn people would get a legitimate job and stop trying to steal from people it would make it so much easier on helpless older people and disabled people that need money so badly that they fall for this crap. Contacting me 7 years after I so called entered something was stupid on his part. Please people I contacted Walmart and this is a scam. DO NOT fall for it.

I just received a call from a Ryan Anderson October 2/2017 advising me that I had won $984, 000.00 and a brand new car-he said that he was representing Canadian tire ? I asked him where he was calling from -St-John Nebraska--- what the hell Nebraska ? Canadian Tire has no stores outside of Canada -so I knew then that this was a total scam but I continued to ask him questions -I asked him if this call was being monitored and his answer was yes and by whom? his reply was -the cia ? I asked the central intelligence agency ? he replied yes WOW
HOW STUPID DOES HE THINK PEOPLE ARE-- he was even then very insistent and I then asked him how will my prizes be delivered?
he said that someone would deliver the said check at my home but will I be ready to pay $487.00 as delivery costs?/
I hung up but did not give out my address or any other information----ps this guy had a strong accent so maybe from Nigeria but definitely not a ryan Anderson

Beware: the scammers are on the prowl again in 2017. My mom has received multiple phone calls from different men (all speak with an accent) claiming she has won 3.5 million dollars and to collect her money she needs to pay the tax on the money. It is a scam! Luckily I was at home when the call came through and she asked me to speak with the party on the other end of the line. Please do not support terrorism!

Yes this is a scam I tell him I'm laying in hospital having breast surgery because of cancer.And they don't care.They are willing to take advantage of anyone.please do not do this.if it's to good to be true..it is..

I received a call from them saying I won $10, 000, 000 & $8, 000, 000. Right now I am waiting for confirmation documents in the mail. I believe I won't receive them. If I do I'll let you know. But I refuse to send any money to anyone I don't know.

I received a call yesterday from a Jamaica 876 number about having won a $1.5 M Sweepstake, being selected by Publishers Clearing House for being in good standing with VISA and MASTER CARD and a Bonus of $15, 000 which would be sent to my bank account. This was from a Mr. Walter Greenby who asked me to call him back in the morning. I asked him to send me an e-mail explaining the details. He said he would send it immediately, but it never came. Instead I was referred to the manager, Michael Anderson, who explained that I had won $5, 5M and a bonus, but I would be talking to Mr. Jack Foster for further details. Jack also said that he wants to see to it that I get an extra recovery amount of $150K for previous losses to scamsters. All along they waived the proverbial carrot in my face, but I knew what their trick was and played along. After more smooth talk Jack finally sent the requested e-mail which explained that the prize money is in escrow at the Bank of America awaiting stamp fees, transfer charges and claims by Revenue Canada Taxation for a total of $10, 500 to be paid in advance by me, plus a $2, 500 bank fee. I told Jack that I wanted to see the $15, 000 put into my debit account first and then pay those charges from this bonus. I also told him that I would never pay one Dollar to somebody promising me to send me money. After telling Jack what I thought of him and the crook he is, he hung up. Let it be a warning to anybody being approached by these slick gangsters and NEVER, NEVER send any money before not receiving some from them first, also NEVER let anybody share your access to your computer through Team Viewer or Any Desk. Further, you may get a bogus cheque which you are to deposit into your account and then right away return some of the money. Only send money after the cheque has been cleared by the bank - usually after 5 days.
