Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I reciently received a number of phone calls from men, claiming to be from a company, winners inernational. They advised me that I had won a sweepstakes lotto, and was entitled to a large sum of money. They said to keep it confidential, so that know one would try to rob me. Funny, it was them who was trying to rob me. They were very persistant, and called me for a few days, before I started screening my phone calles. If you recieve any phone calls like this, it is a scam, also check out td financial for the latest scam, which I also recieved a few days after the phone calls. They want you to wire / money gram them money, to cover, insurance, or state taxes on the supposed money that you have won. They assure you that you will recieve your money immediately after paying. Don't do it, it's a scam.

I received the same call stating from this company stating, oh I paid my bills on time and I supposedly won 2.5 million dollar, 55, 000 dollars in cash and a brand new 2011 mercedes benz of my choice. Funny I didn't remember filling out any coupon or anything. I got scammed into this and still receiving phone calls. Oh needless to say I received over a dozen phone calls from different numbers and talked to perhaps 4 or 5 different people who claim they work for the same company. Well this is a scam and I am not falling for it anymore.

Please read. This is a SCAM! We have received numerous calls from a group called "Winners International". We have received several "offers" over the past 3-4 months. Basically the caller (with a foreign accent) states that we have "won a large sum" of money. We have heard $2million, $2.5million, and $5millon. To receive the money we would need to go to western union and wire them the "1% fee" and then they would have UPS deliver the winnings by check. Another variation was that we would go to Walmart and buy a $500 gift card and when the UPS driver delivers the check, we are to exchange the gift card for the check...This is a SCAM. Please DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM.

I received 2 calls today that I had won 5 million dollars . Two diferent people were trying to convince me that this was true. My instincts told me that this was a scam, so let them talk for a few minutes and hung up. Beware of these theives. Their names were John A lexander and Ray Patinger. This activity is fraud, and I will definitely report them to the fed. I feel bad for those of you who were burned. S.J Kant

I just received the 4th call from these people today too...they are PERSISTANT! You know it's a scam because the first time I called the number back because I was curious...the operator comes on and it says "calls from this area are blocked." They even try to get you to talk to the manager...cruel people praying on innocent, poor hard-working people...###...the next time they call I'm going to tell them if they call me again I'm going to find them and slit their throats! DO NOT GIVE IN...like Audrey MAC said above you should NEVER have to give anyone money if you won something!

I got a call yesterday form Mr. Green stating that I won a 35, 000 dollar check which is the beginning of a 2.5 million dollar winnings and a Mercedes. I just got another call today and he wanted me to send money to a Kerry Ann somebody in Jamaica . He insisted that I need to send 1, 500 dollars for processing fees and taxes. I told him that if I won, then why would I have to pay anything up front? He again stated that it's for state taxes an processing fees. He was calling from a cell phone that was getting interference and dropping out. He called again and sounded like he was outside in the wind. He was pleading for me to send the 1.500 dollars and that I wouldn't be sorry. I told him to send me the check first then I would pay the fees afterwards. He kept insisting that they needed it for processing and travel expenses (which is a big lie, why would a company giving away million of dollars need travel expenses). Now when I see the number I immediately hang up. He and others like him should have very stiff penalties for impersonating and basically stealing money from people who fall into that kind of trap

After a month or more I have been trying to get John Washington (") to stop calling me . I told him it was a scam but he would not listen . Finally I got him to tell me he was from winners international . That's all I needed . Your response was what I needed to confirm that this was a SCAM . And when he asked me if I wasted my money, I told him NO and do not call me back . His reply was not nice (f.y.) That's the type of character we are dealing with.
I wish there was something that could be done to silence this kind of trash.

This guy name "Robert" just called me, telling me I won 2.5 million dollars. He could hardly speak English and his phone was breaking up. He asked me what i was going to do with the money. I already knew it was a scam but i played along all day to see how far he would go. Then he asked me if i had a Walgreen's, radio shack, ..etc. that have a certain card. He told me that I shouldn't tell anyone i won this money and asked if i wanted the money in private or public. I told hI'm private it sounded like he laughed a little as to say "I got her now!" but i was laughing too because he's an idiot. Then he said i needed to put 300.00 on this "card" as an activation fee. I said "that's a mighty large activation fee" and i asked hI'm why. He told me because i needed to write the number on the card on the 2.5 million dollar check. I kept asking hI'm over and over why and asking hI'm what I had to do. He kept telling me the same thing. Finally i told hI'm i couldn't come up with the money and he told me he will pay the 100.00 and i only have to pay 200.00. I knew for SURE it was a scam (not like the 300.00 activation fee wasn't enough) when he kept asking if i can come up with the money. I got home and asked hI'm "where is this place and what is it called?" he tells me winner international. I look the "company" up on the Internet and saw "SCAM" and read all these comments! after i read it, i told him "this is a scam, I'm not an idiot" and he cursed me out! and hung up. I want these people to get arrested so bad! Is there a way to get them caught? I cant stand to think that innocent people are getting scammed like that. I really wanted to tell him about Jesus! because he needs him.

Well, this was a guy named James from Virginia that called my mother and had her to call her credit card company and told them he wanted to pay the balance in full. So the balance went to zero, but tis morning - 3/10/12 - they still hadn't recieved the money, (credit card company). So the plan was to have my mother to wire him close to $700 - & then he would cancel payment on the credit card. But my mother is one smart cookie and told him when the credit card people gets their $$ then she would do it. She's going to tell him that she hopes his next victim is as smart as she was!

Beware Winners International...It is a total SCAM!...They called saying I had won 5.5 mil! But before I could claim my winnings I had to wire them $299.99 or $150.00 which ever I could afford and since I couldn't get to a Western Union they would even take my credit card! They are very persistent and had an answer for each question I would ask but when I told him I was looking at this website and this was listed as a scam. and would read it to him..he hung up! Gee I wonder why?

My friend started receiving calls from these people telling him he had won a huge amount of money and a brand new car. If he would just send them $500 they would receive the money and car after he got the money. I said this is a scam. So he told them that if they brought the money and car to this house then they could have the money. They said because of Nevada laws the could not cross the state lines with out the money from him up front. He then hung up on them.

They called back and I answered the phone and told them they were a scam and they called me the devil and to get out of that house. Then the cussed me out in their native language. I hung up. They called back again and said they only wanted to talk to my friend since I was a evil person and I was not letting think for himself. They told me they did not like me and to leave the house.

I said I live hear and who were they to tell me to get out. They then said they did not like me and not to talk to them any more. I responded with "I do not like you or your Momma either" and hung up.

They also told me that because of me my friend was going to be investigated from the FBI and they would take his house, his car and all of his money. I said I work for the government and I was reporting them. They said you do not work for no government you are just the devil.

They even had the nerve to tell us that because of me that the FBI had arrested him because he was trying to bring my friend the money and the car with out getting money from him. He said the FBI was holding the phone to his ear and he needed the money or he was going to jail. I said good go to jail and stay there.

They are still calling night and day, but we do not answer the phone anymore. We have told them over and over again. They keep calling because they think they can convince my friend into giving them money.

These people need to stopped.

WINNERS INT'L called me to inform me I won 2.5million and anew Mercedes. I was contacted by phone by 2 gentlemen both with heavy accents, perhaps middle eastern. They wanted $350.00 - I said, "I'm not giving up any money until my prize is in hand"...all the sudden then the guy lowered the price to $175.00 but that they need it in a MoneyPak card?!...then they will notify the IRS as if the IRS would already be there with one hand on the check for 2.5mil ! they would gas up the Mercedes...and all sorts of crap...perhaps I could forward a fake MoneyPak card?

They also gave me the first place winners name of John Williams at [protected] they have all the answer you could even think of asking do not let that change this for you it is a scam and just hang up they will call back and back hope this helps more people not get taken if it is for 200 or 2000 dollars

I received a phone call today, and listened to the guy. He then told me that I would not receive the full amount, because taxes need to be taken off, and I informed him that in Canada, no taxes are taken off of lottery or other winnings. He then told me that it is "International" therefore there is an international tax. I let him go on, and told him "So, what is your catch" He then told me to put $150 (I turned off my hearing at that point) and I interjected and told him that "You must think I am stupid, because I know if you have to pay money to win money, it is a scam" and I hung up. He called back and said "You are pissing me off" and I said "I am not interested in your scam, have a wonderful day" and I hung up. Can't fool me!

My father-in-law has been getting calls like this from someone named "David Snyder", at [protected], which turns out to be a New Jersey cell phone. When I called, he told me he represents the "New York State Lottery Commission" (which I found does not exist) and has a check for $2.5M for dad, from "Winners International". I asked what he needed from my dad to deliver the package. He guardedly said, "Nothing". I asked if he had the address, to deliver the check, and he said, "Yes". I left it at that. Afterwords I did an internet search and found this website. If the calls to my father-in-law continue, I like the air horn solution noted in another post, above. I just hope we can convince my father-in-law, who is starting to show signs of memory loss, that this is a scam.

I received several calls from Mr. William Richmond, [protected]. He claimed he was from Winners International and that I had won $850, 000 and a 2013 Mercedes Convertible. He then asked me how I wanted to get my prizes, public or private. Then he asked me to get Green Dot Money Pack card for $500 and he would give me the money back. I told him I already had a Green Dot card, he asked for the number and I gave him the wrong one. He asked for the 16 digit number when there are only 14 digits. I have never used the card. He then called back and asked if I had gotten the card to which I replied, why I should pay to get a prize, he said it was for shipping the car from Las Vegas! He called back again and added a surround sound stereo system and Las Vegas vacation to the package. He even sent me an email with a picture of the check, representatives from the company and the car. He called again and then said to call him because his phone was running out! SCAM!

Jim Kingston of Winners International called today (04/20/13) for the second time this week to tell me I had won thousands of dollars. The phone number shown on caller ID is [protected]. You would not believe how low these thugs would sink to try to collect on their scam. I must not rank very high they didn't offer me a new car or millions of dollars and only wanted $250.00 to redeem my prize. These guys speak broken English and don't understand southern expressions. (That part is very entertaining) The way I look at it is, the longer I keep them on the phone leading them around, the less money they will make at the end of the day. When they come up short maybe their boss will kick their butt HARD. These guys are worthless pieces of garbage and a parasite on humanity. My heart goes out to young people who are trying to keep their parents from falling for this rip off. They don't understand how evil some people can be. (In their day there weren't so many and you didn't have cell phones and computers to speed the scam along..)

I receieved a call this evening from someone named "John" (phone # [protected]) from Winners International Delivery Service in Las Vegas, Nevada claiming my name had been selected at random in a Walgreens sweepstakes, and I had won $50'000 dollars. He wanted to deliver the check via UPS tomorrow but when I said no I had plans and would not sit around all day waiting for them, and to just let me pick it up at the nearest UPS drop-off he became agitated and said no he can't take it back to the depot because he would "get in trouble with his boss". I asked him why I had not heard from Walgreens themselves if I had really won such a large amount of money? He said that was standard procedure for all contest winners. Then he said I had to pay his company $50 as their fee for delivering the check. What ? Right then the warning bells went off and I began to grill him as to why a contest winner had to pay ANYTHING...why hasn't Walgreens contacted me? Why would they give the check to you to forward to me? Why can't I just go to UPS, show my drivers license as ID and get it myself? On and on I went but he kept trying to convince me it was legitimate and to let him drop the "check" off the next day. I took his contact information and said I was going to contact Walgreens first to verify what he was saying. Anyway, to make a long story short, I walked to the nearest Walgreens and spoke to a manager. Lisa (the manager) said there was no contest and if anyone had won $50'000 dollars, there would have been a big announcment and everyone would know, not to mention my being contacted directly by the store. She then asked for Johns number so she could call him herself. Then I called John from the store but was sent to voicemail so I left him a message letting him know the store had been contacted and that this is a scam...THE END! So sad that people have to go through this sort of thing..really. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else out there should these snakes-in-the-grass try to call them..and remember..if it sounds too good to be true..IT IS! I only hope these scammers are caught and thrown UNDER the jail. Oh yes, the guy had a thick Nigerian accent...need I say more? :-)

I checked with them and Publishers doesn"t notify you through phone calls or facebook. I have recorded there phone calls on an audio recorder and am trying to get Publishers to take a law suit out on this compnay.

Having the audio recordings with the persons name and the company name they claim to be through along with voice mail messages and emails should give Publishers the leverage they need to stop these people and companies from continueing with this scam

Their story changes, the com that they are calling from changes, the only thing that stays the same is the 876 area code. She finally got fed up with it, and asked to use my police whistle, that I used to use for yard duty. Well this morning when they called, she blew it right in to the phone. I hope they got the message. Don't mess with the elderly, they know old school, they will pull old school. I do hope these people get caught, they are more persistent than bill collectors.

I received phone call today (12/2) from Andrew Moore, Winner International. Winning 2.5 million BUT I WON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING! Ha! If anyone else calls, ask for my code which Andrew gave me, to see if they are legit. He is supposed to call in the morning at 7:30 and they are supposed to deliver the check accompanied by a marshal and an attorney, between 9 and 10:30 A.M. tomorrow. This is tax free BUT the IRS is going to have to ok the "package" because I receive a government check monthly. Ha! His "cell" number is [protected] from Rialto, CA. I have received numerous calls from these scammers for at least 2-3 months - all with an accent (Asian?) Most of the time I ignore, sometimes lift up receiver and click on and off! But this one called back 3 times before I finally stopped to listen when he answered that I would not have to pay anything... we will see.

I've been messing with 'Winners International' for a year now. Many things on this SCAM sight are exactly what they told me; many different approaches but all used by most of them. They are persistent, even pushy. If you push back, they get outwardly angry and verbally offensive. They are Jamaican and share some of the same language/cultural idiosyncraties. With me, they acted like others had invaded their territory and instructed me to never talk with the other guys. I'm sure they were all part of the set-up, with their plan being to get more money from me by stating that if I paid money to the others, it would not be counted as a payment with their company.
They, too, used the explanation that the $$ be sent by W. Union or MoneyGram or use Green Dot MoneyPac, or USPS Overnight Mail, to some assumed regular citizen in several places in US and Jamaica. I, too, cannot believe there isn't some legal intervention in this country to handle these individuals. From this website, there are a lot of people with a lot of info on this "company". For me, I've recorded my info and am mailing it to my attorney for safe keeping, my local law enforcement, the State Attorney General, and perhaps some attorneys who handle these kind of cases and would love to see these guys (I never talked to a woman at Winners International) behind bars with some of the biggest, nastiest criminals in the world.
Yes beware--and do not stop your vigilance. I had my phone #s changed 3 times to try to avoid the persuing calls

I got a call from these guys at 2:00 AM telling me I won 4.5 million dollars and a new BMW from Winners International/ Donald Trump & Oprah Winfrey. He said his name was Mark Peterson but he spoke with such a thick Jamaican accent that I could barely understand a word he said. I called his number back at 8:00 AM to question why a legit business would call someone in the middle of the night and he said because he wanted to be sure that I was home! Then he told me I had to go to CVS or Wal Mart right then and purchase a Money Card for $199 to give to the driver who was delivering my check that morning. While he was blabbering on... I went online and read all the complaints from others about him. His phone number is [protected] but my caller ID said the call was from Jamaica. I told him Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey were professionals and they would NEVER hire someone who doesn't speak proper English to call someone at 2:00 AM! To mess with him, I told him I already had a money card but my brother who was a police man would be here to meet his driver. He said if I had the card on me to read the numbers off the back of the card so he could purchase the "security insurance" before delivering the money to my house. I said, No, when the driver shows up with the money, I'll call you back and give you the numbers then. Then the idiot said, "That's not how this works! And I said, Oh that's not how your SCAM works? I hung up on him. I hope someone finds this idiot and puts him in jail.

Received a call today from Winners, Int'l - Caller ID [protected] Kingston JM - The guy had a heavy accent and the phone line had a lot of static and I couldn't understand some of what he said so he had to spell several words so I could understand what he said.

Here is some of the conversation:
"You have won 2.5 million dollars"

But, I didn't sign up for anything.

"When you paid your cellphone bill on time and every time you paid your credit card bill on time your name was entered in a drawing and you won the 3rd prize of 2.5 million dollars"

Okay...

"UPS will deliver to you tomorrow between 2-3pm"

UPS doesn't deliver on Sunday.

"Oh, yes. Monday morning, they will deliver between 2 and 3, and you will need to give the driver the following reference code xxxxxx, package code xxxxxxxx and 3 digit code xxx and you will need to present a claimers card, Green Dot Money Pack card"

I don't have a claimers card. I don't even know what that is.

"You go to Walmart or Walgreen's and buy a $50 .."

I'm not buying anything, this is a scam.

Then I hung up. Unfortunately I did tell him that I would not be home between 7am and 6pm and he knows my address.
