Winners International obvious phone scam

Winners International, is an obvious scam. They called me when my mom wasn’t home and asked for her. I said she wasn’t here, and the man asked where she was. I said she was at work and then he started mumbling. he told me to wright down his number. he mumbled so much that after him repeating it several times it was the only thing i heard. I said I would try to have her call him back. I told my mom about it and she wasn’t happy. The next day he called back and asked for my mom, i once again said she wasn’t home, the man yelled back “Well Where is she?” With that kind of attitude i was ready to hang up.

But then I remembered about week earlier the same guy called saying i won something. knowing it was a solicitor i said i was sorry but I wasn’t interested. he called back and was yelling at me saying why did i hang up. I told him i wasn’t interested, he asked why and i said because I’m not. I had to tell him over and over again not to call me because i wasn’t interested. Knowing it was the same guy and he would call back I said she was at work. He yelled again and said i needed to wright down his number and have her call him as soon as she got back.

I still had the number and just told relayed it back to him. He yelled again saying to have her call him back as SOON as she got home, I said “I’ll try”, knowing it was a scam. He tried to hang up but I asked where he was from and then he mumbled Winners International. I’ve told them to stop calling and it wouldn’t be so bad if they were nicer, but they have been calling back again ruder and ruder every time. I can tell you this, we aren’t calling back, and if they keep calling back after told to stop calling, I won’t talk as nice either.

I have had a number of calls from Winners International Payout Service saying I have won 17.5 million dollars and a car. I was concerned about this because most of the messages were hard to understand because of the accent. One even said he was in Tennessee affiliated with Bank of America, I became very suspicion when all the calls were from Jamica, from different people and these following numbers– 1-876-586-2821 1-876-562-6584 and a couple of others I did not keep. I have not returned any of these calls and I do not plan on it. I just need them to stop calling with false information.

I got a call today from a Michael Anderson from Jamaica, he claims that his office is in Knoxville, Tennessee. He said that since i shopped at Walmart, my name was chosen to win 1.7 million dollars. All i had to do was got to walmart, get a green dot money card for $499. At my choice a police would come to my house along with the UPS person to present the money to me. I asked what's his supervisor's name, he said Mary Willis. He claims to be working with Winners International. I called Walmart and spoke the assistant manager, he did say that the green dot money card is real, but knew it was a SCAM right away. I give him all the info and the regional manager is looking into it. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS, IT MIGHT SOUND LEGIT BIT IT'S NOT!

I got the same phone call basically. they told me that they were from California. The guy said his name was Jack David with a heavy accent. Told me I won 3rd prize $1.4 Million and a Mercedes. I told him I worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that he just made the wrong phone call. I think he crapped his pants. Put your name on the Federal DO NOT CALL list at [protected] only takes a minute and also block the number by using *60. As soon as you see a strange number on your caller ID wait until it stops ringing then push *60 and hit send on the phone. this blocks the number from getting through.

Winners International I will not send them any cash no matter what they say

On July242010 I called back a message that was left on my home phone from a Scott Wilson calling from US Customs regarding my package of certified CASHier check that needs to be delivered by ferdal express and US Marshals From a [protected] and they told me to call back at [protected]. When I called the [protected] I spoke to a Frank White From winners international network which is in Las Vegas Nevada that I was a first prize winner of $850, 000. He told me that I had to pay $375.00 as insurance, shipping and handling to get $850k. When I told him to take it out the check he told me I would have to send CASH by CASH gram or western union to Peter Henry at 68 Bransi ave St Catherine, Jamica WI and calle him back with receipt number to get the $850k. It is a scam from the information I read from different sites and I will not send them any CASH no matter what they say!

Winners International SCAM

I received a phone call from this number [protected]) showing up on caller ID as a cell phone number not even a legitimate company business number. A woman with a heavy accent using improper English tried to inform me I won 2 million dollars from paying bills on line in a timely manner and for shopping at Walmart. I knew this was a scam because I do not pay bills on line and very rarely shop at Walmart. I researched the information given ( Global Winner's International and this website along with other victims complaints appeared. Thank you for posting all complaints and I do hope sharing my experience will help someone else be more wiser and aware of the scams out there.
God's Grace and Peace to All!

Winners International told me I won 7.5 Million$ and a 2011 Mercedes

Was called from [protected], Named David Sayer, told me I won 7.5 million dollars and a new 2011 Mercedes. Kept talking to me, I told him I will not send money to get money...he kept talking...told me I needed to send 500.00 to cover the cost of delivery. Asked me did I have access to CVS Pharmacy, Bank of America, and Cocoa Beach or Walmart...said I was to get a gift card from 1 of these places in the amount of $5oo.oo, and send it to him...this is when I began to laugh over the phone, told him to learn how to speak english, told him he was very good at his deception, and hung up on him. He called me back 20 seconds later and told me "Fu** You"! He actually called me back to tell me that! Please, remember, I told him I was online and I was going to look up this Winners International Network online, and he said "oh, so U don't want the money..." RED FLAG! Please be care ful of this person. thank you, Mrs. Beverly Lacey

I was contacted on my cell phone by a man named James Miller from an outfit called Winners International on 0611/09. He told me that I had just won 2.5 million dollars from a lottery and that I need- ed to write down a check number and a serial number so that when the check was delivered I could compare those numbers with the ones on check to make sure it was real. I was walking to work from the bus stop, so I didn't have a pen and paper to write anything down on and told him so. He stayed on the line with me until I got to work, all the time assuring me that this was indeed legitimate and that I had nothing to worry about. It wasn't until I got to my desk and started writing the numbers down that he gave me that he informed me that before he could send out the peaple with the check, I needed to wire $2500.00 to a "Pansy Powell" in Jamaica. I told him I did not have $2500.00 to give him. He tried to put me on a "payment plan" saying that I could send him half of the $2500 now and half later. When I suggested that I would be happy to escort anyone who showed up with a 2.5 million dollar check to my bank to verify that it was indeed authentic and NOT stolen, and that I would glady give him the $2500.00 he needed to cover the "fees" after the check was deposited
and cleared, he responded " I can't do that, the people with the check are waiting for me to give them the reciept number of the wire transfer before they come out. He added " if you dont want the money I will just move on to the next person. Interestingly enough after I reported the incident to the FBI, I called him back on the number that he gave me - [protected] (different than the one he called me on) he actaully answered the phone, again identifying himself as James Miller .I Informed him not to bother me any more and that I had reported the incident to the local police and the FBI. Any one who has a simlar experience with these ### should do the same. There is a web site you can go to to register a complaint with the federal authorities. The website is www.IC3.com.
DO NOT give these people any money it is a SCAM!

I've just received a phone call from Winners International stating I'd been chosen to win several million dollars. I said 'no thank you" and hung up. the phone rang again--same gentleman with speaking in very broken English. He asked why I had hung up since he was just trying to deliver me a very large sum of money. I asked if who he was with and how was I 'chosen" when i had not entered any contests. His name was Robert Canoile. His company gives away several millions of dollars each year to senior citizens only. Since I pay my bills on time my name was in a large draw of names as the winner. I was asked how close I lived to a Walmart (40 miles). He said he was sorry that it was so far but wanted to know how long it would take me to drive to the Walmart and get back home in order to receive the prize. It seems I was required to "purchase" a $400 scratch card at Walmart and receive a receipt that would verify that I'd purchased the receipt to be presented to him when his photo crew and himself arrived at my home to give me my prize (he confirmed my exact address without my aid in doing so). He gave me his Batch # ID 3708 that I would need in order to purchase the card at Walmart. I asked him where he was speaking from and his response was he was in a vehicle in route to our home. Then when I asked later why he could not come to our home first and proof himself he stated he was at the airport. I asked for information on how his so called prize could be verified and gave me his manager's name and phone number to call. I did not call and stated that I was not interested in his offer and to have a good day. That's when I got the call from his so called manager Mark Von who's phone # was [protected] (I did not try this number at any time). Mark also spoke in very broken English. He stated about the same as Robert Canoile. All I had to do, if I did not have the required $400 to meet the percentage of tax requirement in order to deliver the millions to our door step, I could ask a friend or family member to front me the money. As soon as we received the millions they would be paid back. I told him I would do no such thing and that we were not putting out any funds what-so-ever. When I suggested he present the millions up front and I'd then give him the required $400 he had an excuse why this couldn't happen either; a fellow employee had done so and ended up in jail for his actions. Anything I said he had an immediate answer as to why I "had" to come up with as much money as possible to meet the $400 before we would win the big prize. Mark Von said time was running out for them to be able to deliver the prize that had to be delivered today. I asked if where he was and why the rush. He stated he was with his film crew at the LA Airport and that it is required they give the prize today. I was to keep my claim ticket private and not tell anyone that I'd won such a great prize. It was at this time that I asked him if I looked up Winners International on the internet that it would confirm his agency. He said absolutely. I did not wait and kept him on the phone as I did my search. When I found the information and it indicated that he was a scammer he asked me to read what I'd found. He said that could not be so. I let him to know he could give his millions in prize funds to someone else and to please not call back; which he did and I stated in no uncertain terms he'd best not call again. I pray this write up will assist another US citizen not to be scammed by anyone.

Yes., The same thing has happened to me today. Winners International has stated that i had won 1.5 million dollars and a mercedes benze but i wasn't dumb. See the thing is he didn't even know my address and my name what a shame. He also told me to wire 400.00 dollars so i can have a reciept to give to the lawyer when he gets to my house with the check. This is a complete scam and i hope and pray someone gets these Jamaican people and lock them up. The mans name is James White and his phone number is [protected].

I received a call from Michael Turner of Winners International located supposedly at 64 Raymond, St. Louis, MO 63130, phone 509-723-0983. Told I had won $2.5 Million and a car and would need to get to them $875 to cover expenses of wiring the money to my bank. As an attorney who has become a scam specialist I am intent on catching at least one scammer.

My elderly sick father received a call from A guy with this company who promised him cash, vacations, and a new car! All he had to do was send them $500 Western Union to cover the international shipping and customs. They have probably called over 40 times in the last week and wont stop! I finally called the phone company who was nice enough to put a trace on their number and refer me to the FCC and FBI so I turned the numbers they gave me over to them =)

June 7, 2011 at 8:46 pm MST. We just recieved a phone call from a person by the name of James White. This individual asked for my wife by her first name. told her he needed to talk with her at her phone where she is located. He said to send $600.00 to Addonijah Miller, JAWI, Montego, BY at Western Unin. A package #001367 needed to be referenced. His phone number is [protected]. While I was talking with this individual I was checking online for this information. I figured it was a scam, but I wanted to find as much information as possible. I just want to know what we can do to help prevent this from happening to naive individuals that might not have the knowledge or computer tools to find out information. Anyone have any ideas?

Winners International repeated phone calls

My mother has received MANY calls from men, with strong accents, advising her she won $2, 000, 000 and all she had to do was . . . . (it kept changing). Today she needs to go to Wal-Mart, CVS, or Radio Shack and purchase something (I cannot remember the name of the packet) for $150 and get right back to John Fisher in Las Vegas [protected] and give him the code off the money packet. He would then begin processing her prize which is to be delivered to her home on Monday. When asked what proof I had that they were legit I was told ALL the conversations were recorded and that the BBB, IRS and Chamber of Commerce were all listening in. "Okay, Sweetie?" My Mom has the sense to recognize a scam and did not do anything but listen to them and ask some pretty good questions. BUT THEY WILL NOT STOP CALLING! I will now be making one more call to 'John Fisher' and tell him to back off, that I have reported this scam and will be calling the phone company and the police if they persist. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just received a call from "Tony Brown" who he said works for Wells Fargo in connection with Global Winners International in Las Vegas, Nevada. He did not say how much had been won, but I would need to get a registration form to receive the money. It turns out it was a green dot card from any Walmart or CVS in my city. The caller id showed the number to be [protected] simply from Jamaica. He gave my daughter's name, but was only too willing to say that I could get the form as he would need it before the time that she would be home. He would call back and then "two men" would come to the house to bring the winnings. I am not stupid. Oh yes the amount to be put on the green dot card was 125.00. I am deciding if I should notify Wells Fargo that their name is being used in a scam. This guy was inept and is either very dumb or very new to this game. I just hope they don't start calling a lot. By the way, I had no intention of going to Either of those stores.

Winners International scam

I was contacted by WI today by a message on my voice mail. "My Name": Sir you have won $2.7 million USD and an new Mercedes Benz automobile. To learn about how to collect your winnings you must call [protected] which is an Las Vegas number. The call came from
[protected] Jamaica. I did not follow through on this as it is obviously is a scam.
What is worrisome is that it seems a lot of information seems to have been hacked or there are illegitimate contest sites online designed to extract this information. The caller did give his name but it was muffled/mumbled. (not that it would have made any difference)
It amazes me that these people are allowed to operate in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Winners International threatening phone calls

A man with an extremely thick accent (possibly Nigerian) claiming to be from Winners International called my home in Colorado, asked for my daughter, and proceeded to indicate that a package would be delivered today containing $1.5 million. When I indicated that I knew it was a scam the man asked me if I would be home all day. I told him it was none of his business. He told me to go to the window and "look across the road and you will see a man with a high-power sniper rifle aimed at your window and things will be bad for you if you don't listen to me." The telephone number that showed up on my caller ID was 876-403-4998 and said Jamaica. (I think it was New York.) I contacted the FBI but they said that they do not investigate these things.

I received calls over the past few days from several different people claiming that I won 2.5 million, a lump sum of cash and a brand new 2011 Mercedes S coupe. Well what is funny is I got caught up in this scam, but then realized that why would I pay money for something I have supposedly won. Well the calls are endless but I turned off my cell phone and plan on changing my number. These scammers need to be stopped and arrested for the crimes they are committing. Needless to say, ripping off innocent people of their money. Oh the government doesnt investigate these crimes, that's a load of BS. Well one thing is for sure I am not gonna fall for this anymore and nobody else should.

Winners International Phone calls

I'd just like to add that I also received repeated calls from Global Winners International telling me i'd won 2 million dollars, if only i sent them $299. even though i told them i was not going to send them any money, they keep calling claiming to be legitimate. I called the police in the town they told me to send the money to, but the police felt the scam was untraceable. Is there no relief? I worry for the aged and inferm who may actually take this seriously. What to do?

I am currently a student in a university in Canada. Today I received a call from a woman who had a strong Philippine accent and I will admit her English was not easy to understand. She told me that I am eligible to $ 300, 000 so I automatically thought that it came from the financial institution that students use a loans and funds. When I asked her about it she simply agreed that it was it, however the amount seemed way to high to be true She also said that she is working with CIBC channel and film crew would come to my house to video tape my excitement over the package containing the money. Then she started to sound too trained in a way that in every two sentences she will add "trust me please, I am a 32 years old mother, it is true" and "I have no time to waist or games to play ". Every time I would ask her a question she would repeat her "trained mode sentences ... trust me ! not playing games with you!". Then when I asked her again about the company she said she is from Global Winners International and she simply wants me to exclaim my money. And all I had to do is send her $200 through money order or Western Union to the address of her main offices in Jamaica. she failed to explain to me why I need to pay 200 for the package, so I told her to subtract 200 from my price but she failed to explain why she cant do that. all she could do is tell me how I should trust her and that it is not a game. After eleventh call she stop trying to convince me. These people need to start working instead of stealing the money from poor innocent people. How annoying it is that there are always those who try to cheat everyone and make money easy while other suffer and sweat to support themselves and their families.

I just received a similar call telling me that I just won 2 1/2 million dollars and a new mercedes from having my name drawn in a second chance drawing. All I have to do to collect my winnings is to send $250 (to cover incidental expenses in getting my money and new car to me. I'm to use Western Union and provide the 10 digit control number that Western Union will furnish me to Mark Meyers on [protected]. Mark originated the call to me and was amazed that I hadn't already received the official notification that I had won the money and car. My $250 is to go to Kissiant Grange in Hanover, Jamaica, W I (with "W I" indicating whcih contest I won, meaning second chance in the Winners International drawing). I did ask for some official notice of my winning the contest, which I don't remember entering? Mark said that would be furnished as soon as he had the Western Union control number. Wednesday 11/9/11

Tell them to send you the 2 Million dollars and just deduct the $299 from it! Kidding aside, tell them you're interested only to find out more information on them. Ask for corporate papers, where their business is registered, how it works and all the good stuff-Either they will be dumb enough to give you clues how they can be caught OR they will stop calling you.

Winners International fraud/scam

My mother received a call from a Jason Baker at (315) 704-3315 claiming to be from Winners International, who handles the check distribution for Reader's Digest. He told my mom to send a $100 money transfer to a lawyer named David Ramsey who was currently in Jamaica for business. I asked why an American company would need a lawyer in Jamaica and continued to grill this bag of [censored] until I got sick of his liews and told him to never call my mother again and slammed the phone down. BEWARE of these dirtbags.

I now received a call from Winners International claiming my mother to be a winner of a new BMW S Class 2015. They then request for her to wire $10, 000 for shipping and handling and claim that if the car is not delivered in 7 working days, the company will reimburse her and cover all expenses. Automatically, I knew it was a scam because when I questioned James O'Connor about how she won the vehicle. He told me was from a raffle of 40, 000 people which my mother never entered. So PLEASE be wise and ignore these scammers.

He also stated that the manager of a bank in Jamaica named Patrick Robinson [protected]) is whom I would be sending the funds to . The address is Momtego Bay St.James Ja-wi . As our discussion continued he informed me to contact himself or Mr. Robinson if I have any questions .Now after going on in detail I stopped him to say I don't have that kind of money. He stated when do think you could get a hold on that 250. I stated maybe by april 30, . He stated thats when I will give you a return call.

Winners International ripping off the disabled

My girlfriend who has a learning disability was called several times yesterday regarding her alleged 4.5 million dollar lottery winnings. All she had to do was send Damion Webster at 7 duke st. Portland, Jamaica first $99 then because she didn't right away $199. I have been back and forth to hospitals for a terminal illness, and all she cared about was winning this money to pay for my life saving medications that I need. She was devastated to learn that not only was she not a real winner, but that they had tried to take what little she had been able to collect in donations towards this. He also claimed the team was ready to leave and would bring her check within 30 minutes once the payment was made. The cell # he gave for himself to attempt to prove it wasn't a scam is 1-876-385-1463 About 10 minutes later he called back to see if she had already run off to get the funds to send the money western union to them, I answered and he said it was about some college books she was interested in when I attempted to take a message for her. I called him on his BS and told him she isn't in nor is she planning on going to college. When I demanded to know what they really wanted from her he first played stupid and I could clearly hear someone whispering to him in the background, when I said I was the one controlling the bank accounts< so she had no personal access to the accounts he abruptly hung up on me. She had unsuspectingly already given my cell phone number and honestly I can't wait for these people to call us back. Preying on the disabled and severely ill is sick and twisted. they should be caught and prosecuted if not worse. This is a horrible international scam designed to prey on those in need, and they need to be stopped quickly.

Winners International sweepstakes winning claim

A heavily accented man called yesterday afternoon to inform us that we had won a $750, 000 cashiers check and a Mercedes car if we would call a Las Vegas number and provide a claim number (101BN) that he gave us. We also had to go to a local CVS or Walgreens pharmacy and purchase a $500 "green dot" card and then call back to provide serial numbers to prove that we had purchased the card. While I was on the phone with the caller today when they called back to see if I had gone to a CVS he told me that I was being recorded. I have no intention of going to a CVS.

Winners International winner in lottery/scam

I recieved multiple calls from the above mentioned companies saying I won 2.5 million dollars, 4.5 million dollars and a new car(mercedes benz) they scamed money and now they keep calling the following names are of the people that called me along with phone numbers FRank White [protected] or j m Kingston same number Kevin Johnson [protected] Gareth Kennedy [protected] and John Smith [protected] Cheyenne Wyoming. As of ten minutes ago Mr John Smith in Cheyenne Wyoming threatened my life and my wifes life. He threatenede to have us executed because I told him that I was not sending any money to them on green dot money pack. When you use green dot money pack you do not know who you are dealing with and no major company who deals with any type of lottery or contest uses green dot money packs and they do not charge a fee to get your money. Also I was informed to get my millions I had to have the money insured. Here is another number to watch out for Triangle Va. [protected]. Here are other numbers that J M KIngston and others have caLLED ME FROM [protected]-[protected]. Also be advised that the area code 876 is a Jamacia number.

Winners International sweepstakes winner

I received a phone call from "american winners international" claiming I was the monthly winner of a plasma tv and a $350, 000 certified check. He only wanted me to pay the $199 shipping difference via western union. And get this, 2 federal express guys and 2 us marshals would escort me to my bank to cash the check, at which point they would give me my $199 back. Ha ha ha ha. I got all the information so I could report these guys to the police, bbb and who ever else I could, which my husband is doing right now. The guy could barely speak english, very thick jamaican accent, broke up the phone number completely wrong when he gave it to me, and how convenient, it sounds an awful lot like an 800 number but it is not. 876 is a jamaican exchange. Unfortunately they are in jamaica and the us can do nothing about these guys since they are not in the united states. I hope people do not fall for this.

I recieved a call this afternoon from Winners International out of Las Vegas and the gentleman asked to speak to my husband. He left a number [protected]. My husband called them at this number early this evening and was told he had won a Sweepstake in the amount 2.7 Million and a new Mercedes. The prize was going to be delivered at 11 AM tomorrow. Then, he was told they wanted $4, 600 by credit card or wire today in order to deliver the prize tomorrow. My husband told them when they come tomorrow with the prize he would give them a check for $4, 600. The man said "have it your way" and hung up. BEWARE! You don't pay money when you win a sweepstakes. My husband will be calling the Attorney General's office in the morning to report this.

This matches almost exactly what I had to experience. I also got the [protected] Jamaican phone number, lots of calls, several daily. They have learned about the green.dot MoneyPak - apparently they use this service to hide the recipient's ID.
