M Crossan PCH

I think pch is a scam they get your hopes build up only later to shoot them down

I recently recevied a notice thatI had won a prize from pch. the agent name is Roland Crossan and the email was from J Keller. is this real and do they work for pch. the “Tell Number” is 00 44 7045 704 336 thanks charles starks

I was called and told I won 3rd place in a PCH sweepstakes. The also mentions paying my bills on time and purchasing from Walmart & JC Penny. I was told that a certified check for $275,000 was issued to me and an attempt to deliver was not successful. I was given a phone number to call to claim my prize. The number is 559-800-8055 and I was told to speak to a David White. When I called I was told I needed to pay a processing fee to get the check redelivered. Please confirm that this is a scam because my feeeling is that it is.

I am entering a pch contest but they want me to activate a super pass card and i dont know if i should because it look like a scam

Really, I get aleast 10 entries a day from PCH. How often does anyone win or do they?

Something just popped up on my screen that says “Weekly Contest” Pch.com. It says that I have one either a 1000 gift card for Walmart or an Ipad I think. However, they are also asking me to register to claim my prize. Is this legit or not? Thanks.

I just received a calll from an PCH Agent named James Washington telling me I won $500,000 through my mastercard and if I wanted it I could pay my way to New York and receive it or pay $350 for UPS to send it to me….How did he know my mastercard number and do you have agents (which I doubt) calling people.

Oh yes I forgot to include his number 1-876-589-8244 JAMES WASHINGTON. Sounds rather suspicious to me. Thank you

Another Scam: I was called today by a guy who claimed he was the UPS delivery man and told me I won 3rd place in a PCH sweepstakes. I was told he had a certified check for $255,000 that was issued to me and he was on his way to deliver it. I was given a phone number to call to claim my prize. The number is 876-494-0752 and I was told to speak to an Agent Malone. When I called I was told I needed to get a Western Union receipt. I could just go to any office and call them back from the parking lot for further info. Two other numbers involved: 876-875-3248 (fake UPS guy), 876-378-8593 (another agent number). These guys called my wife’s phone at about the same time.

today i was sent a message from PublishersClearingHouse.HL87WC.3105099@superprize.pch.com
it was asking this and my name and adress was there too

can be the beneficiary of a SuperPrize® number that could result in a substantial $1O,OOO,OOO.OO win from Giveaway No. 183O.

The aforementioned party must respond from this bulletin before the deadline date of October 2Oth (11:59 PM, ET) to secure a $1O,OOO,OOO.OO entry and secure said SuperPrize number.
i didnt win anything but i clicked on the link it took me to a loading page and said i was entered im just scared that i was keylogged or something

Hi I was wondering about the 1 million plus 5,000 for life contest.

The contest says enter in all day and everday.

Dose that just mean 1 entry a day with the 10 entries also?

and can I do this over and over again?

When I checked the rules it said only 1 entry a day?

I’m a little confused.

kind regards, Skyler

My sister just received a call saying she won the PCH second prize of $500,000 by a woman who transferred her to the “attorney” by the name of Allan Kauffman at 804.420.2827. Funny thing, he knew her credit card info and wanted to charge it $6500 to process her winnings for delivery by certified check this Friday. Sounds like attempted identity theft to me, so I called our personal attorney to check it out.

How do you know if your entry was successful?

I received a call yesterday from a person named Ryan Fernandes telling me I had won $495,000 in the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes in the second drawing from September 2010. He gave me Claim # and check #000552114214and his phone #1-516-830-3992. Also verification phone # 1-888-481-1629 for PCH.(Michael Srevens) The check was to be delivered today, October 27, 2011. This person said he was calling from the Dallas International Airport with the package that came from a bank in Panama. Today Another person, James Wentworth,called who was from the Customs office with the Fed-Ex package. His phone #1-888-277-4981. He said I could be forwarded the money package if I would send a processing fee of $1625.00 and the Western Union fee would be $100.00. The money transfer was to be sent to Michelle Pepen in Boston, Massechusetts, stating that she was my employee. I called your PCH phone number when I suspected it was a scam and you told me it was. An hour later James Wentworth called me back to check if I had any problems wiring the money from Western Union and I told him I knew they were scammers and I would turn them in to the fraud line and then I hung up on him!!

who do i report fraud to, some one called me today saying they were you guys telling me I won $1000 then asked me for my credit card number, the expiration date, and the code on the back of it.

I pch a had also had a scam letter sent to my e-mail form out of the country. I wish pch could attend to these e-mails they want all of your personal information. I feel some might not recongize these letter and be scams.
mattie

Can I do my entries by phone and website one time per day? cause i’m doing my entries by phone everyday and i try doing it by website but for some reason it did not let me do my entries.

How do you know if you really won PCH prize, I got an email from pch

I just reported this to your fraud dept at 800-392-4190:

My husband got a call from “Steve Hunter” at 876-440-6758 which our caller I.D. identified as a cell phone number.

“Steve” told my husband he was a $1 Million dollar winner. Package nbr 112976. To claim this package he was told to go to WalMart and buy a “Pay Pal Green Dot Card” for $200. We asked for a PCH phone nbr to verify our winning. Phone nbr given was 580-366-6403. We have not called either this nbr or the original one that came thru.

My wife got on-line and looked at PCH Fraud Dept info and we called and reported this scam.

They are attempting to prey on Senior Citizens – he asked if my husband is a senior and if he is collecting any “Government Payouts”.

These people are disgusting. Should I file a complaint with any government agency?

PCH is a Scam in itself. Having entered PCH Sweepstakes for over 30 years, entering daily via the internet, never won a penny or more. DON’T WORRY – YOU’LL NEVER WIN – THERE ARE REALLY NO WINNERS! It’s so easy to create a first name and initial, pick a town and presto, you’ve identified a non-existent winner on your website. CERTIFIED E-MAIL – Never Heard of Such a Creature – Certified Mail we all know about, Prize Patrol Van self explanatory-go to your momma’s house again and let’s pretend someone really won something with PCH – Someone’s Aunt, Uncle, Parent, Grandparent or Child of Publisher’s Clearing House CEO’s.

I also received a letter from Andrew Goldberg claiming I had won $650 thousand dollars as a 3rd place prize. It’s sickening to prey on the old and the poor.

I received an e-mail that said I have won one million pounds sterling said to contact Donald Mathews with name, address, and phone number sincerely Catherine johnson. Is this for real?

I dont really know what to say. I cant wait.I have never won anything in my life. cant wait tina

I wish I could scam enough people to be able to pay for a TV commercial to take advantage of even more potential “winners”.

I recieved this email and I was just wondering if it is legit or if it is a scam.

HI! I’VE STARTED GETTING THOSE DARN EMAILS THAT LOOKS REAL BUT I THINK IS A SCAM! THE LOGO PCHLOTTO LOOKS SO REAL? HOW DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT LOTTO WINNINGS?

The whole PCH site is a mess! I signed up to play the daily slots. I then discovered the games but for some reason I couldn’t use my same log in info so I created another name and password. I was collecting tokens so I decided to enter them to try to win a Best Buy card. It didn’t work, my token count never changed. I went to the help section, tried everything I could find that might help (deleting cookies, etc.), it didn’t help. I tried to send a message to support but it wouldn’t accept either my slots or my games login info. I give up. No sense messing with it if I’d be lucky enough to actually win something but couldn’t claim it because of the totally messed up website.

I have entered for almost five years now I am about to just give up on it. Its a real nice dream to have but I dont see it ever coming true.

Oh and I dont think I have ever seen winner from Virginia

I was called and told I won 2nd place in a PCH sweepstakes by a Mr. Martinez 1-877-264-6959. I was told that a certified check for $495,000.00 was issued to me and was to be deliver between 9AM – 1PM. He also gave me a claim # and a check #.Then i get a call from a Alan Black from the Federal Trade Commission stating my delivery was not successful. I was told I needed to pay a processing fee of $1,980.00 to get the check redelivered. Please confirm that this is a scam because my feeling is that it is.

Can I participate prize from Publishers Clearing House …. if i citizen of Indonesia

What if you are a winner and PCH pay a visit to your home and you are not there? What happens next?

My aunt recieved an email from Publishers Clearing House saying that her and 4 others were drawn to be the winner of a million dollars. We are guessing this is a scam. Is it?

( scam) I was told that i won 75,000.00 from pch a man name jermaine johnson had wanted me to send a 100.00 to jamerica wi

After reading all these horror stories, I regret ever entering PCH. How would these “scammers” get the phone numbers/addresses of these people if, in fact, they had NOT entered? I believe that we have all been “scammed” and should learn from this, not to enter any personal information at all, for any advertising. I will not reply anymore and should have listened to my own intuition.

hello .. i just want to let u knnow i had cell phone … yahoo news channel 4 investigates publishers clearing house . yahoo new call their nubmer 446-363 … i dont understand i stared to cried ,, thinking nothing i alway use to love pch . i just want to know it is real or fake ! i alway love pch , thanks kathyann scott

hey about this whole PCH.com thing i am so confused i got an email from PCH.com telling me i won 25,000.00 dollars and claim it so this lady named Trudy wont win it again.so when i claimed it wanted me to by items because it would be “appreciated” is this site legit ? if so please make everything make sense for me.

Email winner of One Million Dollars in the recent PCHLotto, please reply to claim
your cheque with your Address, Tel. todsloane@imail.com to Mr Todd Sloane

This was from a site info@PCH.net

Is this a Scam ????

PCH is a scam…enter daily online and receive nothing but spam in your email. Entry confirmation after entry confirmation but no proof you ever entered. They send no information or define how to actually really enter the sweepstakes. Or where or how the secret numbers are given…guess they really are a secret! PCH IS A SCAM!!!!!

someone plz tell me what this super pass card is….i havent hit the continue tab yet…is this something free or is this gona end up costing me a monthly fee… someone plz advise…i kinda wish i never even entered…thx all the best!!!

hi victoria…im not sure who i would need to speak to…can u have someone plz tell me what this super pass card is….i havent hit the continue tab button yet…is this something free or is this gona end up costing me a monthly fee… someone plz advise…i kinda wish i never even entered…thx all the best!!!

Why is it that all these years playing, I never heard of anyone in Washington State winning? We play online now instead of by mail so we don’t worry about missing a chance…?!?…

I have been entry all of RCH sweepstare at lest 200 a month on the enternet and by mail I have been put on the final list of 200 people at lest 10 time that is to get 1000 dollars if we do not win the big one So where is the money not one time have I seen it so if this is not a scam then where is the 1000

Here is an example where PCH is probably going to get investigated and it appears there are two problems or scams – one from PCH and one from someone posing as a PCH employee. Today, March 2, 2012, I received an email (URL provided with posting info) with an enticement of $10 million at the top and with giveaway 1830 in fine print directly below the $10 million “lure”. But, the contest is really for giveaway No. 2419 because the text of the email list that giveaway number as the actual contest..

When I googled giveaway No. 1830, I found a website that states that the prize for giveaway No. 1830 will be awarded on February 29, 2011 and only awarded in Texas only. But, my email is dated March 2, 2012 and, it appears to be sent to more than just people in Texas. Here is the URL for the news about winners in Texas only and it was written by someone (Addison @ PCH) who implies they work for PCH.

https://getsatisfaction.com/publishersclearinghouse/topics/prize_1400_and_1830

Additionally, a check of the PCH website (pch.com) shows no listing for either of the giveaways by their number. There is only a one page with a generic statement about contests. This is the type of practice that should draw the attention of the Federal Trade Commission or possibly some state authorities because it is misleading or possibly deceptive consumer advertising and PCH will probably want to locate the impostor named “Addison @ PCH”.

About a month ago I had this lottery price{from PCH} to uncover 3 of a kind in a box ,I uncobered 3, $5,ooo spots to win instantly. . Sent the letter certified, kept a copy of the play, have not gotten any answer. What a scam.

Hi Victoria, i still believe that PCH is legit, But Icould not believe the people that complaint this is only my second timeand all those complaint it happen to me too but as i said lets give it another chance, if its for real I WOULD BE THE FIRTS ONE TO GO TO NATIONAL TV AND TELL EVERYBODY ITS FOR REAL GUYS YOU SEE IM LIVING PROOF BUT IF THIS IS A SCAM PCH SHOULD BE ASHAME ON WHAT THIER DOING THIER RAISING THE POOR PEOPLE HOPES

I enter everything they offer everyday and have not won not a penny. The whell you spin cheats terribly. Out of all the times that I use it, it never stops on money. Mostly try again. Why doesn’t it ever stop on money, I ahve had 15 diamonds and never recieve anything but entries and there is more money cards than entries and try again. All I ever get is entries and try again. It cheats

I got an email from pch saying I won but i never signed up!!! Its a scam.

What a scam! I ordered This Old House magazine in February. Sent in the full payment in March, even though I haven’t yet received a single magazine. Got a letter the other day saying – get this – they received my payment but were unable to process it on 4/5/12 – hello! What idiots work there? First they admit they got my payment and then want me to send in another one because they couldn’t process it in April, which hasn’t even arrived yet!

I’ve Been entering for 2 years now and it keeps telling me I’ve Won but I not Recieving anything What do I do?
PublishersClearingHouse@superprize.pch.com is what’s comming up on my e-mail…is this the Real PCH???

Hi, I received a call today from a man that I could not understand. He told me that my father had won money from PCH and asked if we would be home around 4:30 to receive the check. I asked him for an address and phone number so I could verify if there was in fact a large check coming our way. He gave me an 876 number and an address in Miami Springs,FL. Throughout our conversation a rooster kept crowing in the background and I asked him why he was near a rooster? He claimed it was the animal channel, LOL. Anyway, seems I’m not the only one getting these calls, just wanted to add my story. Does publishers clearing house even call people who win money?

i recieved this following email and it says pch, read it and tell if this is a scam, or is their a no# i can call to see//

Publishers Clearing House mega winner of $1,000,000.00 in the recent draw, send your Contact information to Dave Sayer mega@fm.bb for verification to collect winnings.

Why do I and my family continue to enter everything pch,for years we have done so.they tell you someone will win with the letters of your name,nobody wins from Alabama,they lead you on even using the city where you live,I used the entry,pch surveys,search,lotto and nothing,never shows you ever enter.And why not give to those that need instead of those that are rich.

Hi, I just received a call from Raymond who said he was from PCH.He said I had won $4.5 million dollars. He gave the number 1-8768964671 as the number to call back. Of course I didn’t. But, thought you might want to know about this scam.

I received an email requesting some information: Is this a valid email address for PCH?

pch@fm.bb

hi i keep getting a message that says someone in your zip or area code will win how would they know this. it seems like only older people win is there an age restriction or something?

I received a call which was picked up by my answering machine that said the person was from Publishers Clearing House and that a package was going to be delivered to my home but that I had to call tel. no. 8-702-320-9976. Is this legitimate?

I received a letter in the mail claiming that it is from the Publishers clearing house and that soon I would receive an official Publishers Clearing House Bulletin with very important news. It also says that I should soon look out for a kraft-colored envelope regarding the winner selection list. Also that someone with my initials is going to be a winner from gwy #2231.
It seems very suspicious to me

I play PCH Lotto every day and at differant times each day,However, I never seem to get 2 bonuses at ANY given time on the slots, also, The ONLY Thing that keeps me from putting my FIST thru my monitor is that I can not afford a new one. The Diamond wheel Is Try Again?…..RIGHT…..How about SORRY…..also….no matter How many diamonds you have to play the MOST you ever win will be 10 Sweeps entries.
Please try and straighten this out.

i say forget signing up there is to much trouble and scammers out there wasting your time and tricking you for a prize it would prolbably take you forever to win instead just go play the lotto more chance to win there even vegas would be better

Jeez people;I’m sure these blog admins are going nut>>>it is a sweepstakes company,your odds are better than say a state lotto but still your playing one of the largest sweeps competitions in the country,give up or suck it up and enter,I enter 90-130 a day all over the net and i have won some and lost alot.first rule read the cover letters/rules and instructions,save the band width and the admins sanity

pch is a scam i did all they ask me to do but nothing that’s why i don’t beleive nothing they say. Stop scamming people PCH please.

In the envelope pch sent there was a prize pass. it says i won 25 grand but im afraid to send it in because half the time people dont even receive their prizes they won. what should i do?

…Really? PCH is crap. Why are you sending people like me hefty letters in the mail with nothing but magazine subscription clippings and telling me that if i follow said “rules” then I can win $5000/week? Sounds like a total scam to me. Also, to the PCH representatives on this feed, think about all of the problems you are causing people by copying and pasting your “thank you for bringing this to attention. that email/phonec-all/visitor/etc is a scam” How about you start running a legitimate system and STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE yourselves! I know i know, “PCH is not a scam” pfft. anyways… Thanks for wasting my time PCH. Hope you all feel wonderful for getting people’s hopes up and bombarding them with scraps of paper covered in lies and false hope. Next time, consider saving a tree and dont bother.

I recieved an email stating that i won $1,000,000.00. The agents name is Margaret Crossan and online co-ordinator is Dave Sayer,and is requesting address,phone number,occupation,nationality,country…is this real? Not sure what to do.

I get at least 10 emails a day from PCH since I signed up online and all of them say that I’m not entered to win unless I click on the link and enter, then I have to purchase things. I’m not buying anything to enter, and why is it that the entry the day before didn’t go through. Do I have to re-enter every day? Also, I tried unsubscribing to the incessant emails because they are never ending and clearly don’t help me win anything, but you keep sending them starting with “we’re glad you’re back”. I’m not back! How is this not a scam?!

I received this today via email and I’m quite sure it’s a scam. Never know though, so I thought I would pass it along for comments. Thank you.

Congratulations once again from the Publishers Clearing House and the American Goverment.

Best Regards,

Mr. Christopher L. Irving
Pch Senior Director.
San Francisco, California.

I got an e-mail from PCH saying that I won $1,000,000 from Order Winning Numbers : 7-1-4-8-7 -3
Email Ticket Number: FL 654/29/75. It was signed by a Mr. Irving with a contact named Mr. Paul Anderson.

This e-mail doesn’t ask for money or my ssn, so is this a scam?

my only question is is there people in your company with the names David Van Peters or Mrs.Rena Cruz

I am very curious about me trying to get on the internet to participate in winning some things, and it never happens. You all want me to purchase something. Also, I am in danger of loosing the money if I win, because I haven’t sign up online. I have sent my paper work into your headquarters, so why do I have to sign in online? I feel you all are trying to make me pay before you will even consider putting my name in the pot.

Hello PCH!! This is my first time ever making a comment on this site (never knew it exist).For the first time I seen the “winners circle site” Wow!! many people do actually win. However I notice based on the January 2010 through March 2012 winners, only 2 winners from New York state won (I should move to texas, 13 winners in that state),and none from New York City so the odds of winning are even greater (greater than that since I am located in the Bronx)I have been playing for some time now and I always leave a message in the “reply” section.If the past winner circle list is anything like the one aforementioned, my chances truly are 1 in 1,215,500,000. I use to live in Florida (I miss it) I should move back because my chances of winning are even greater there based on the aforementioned winner circle list. How are states and cities chosen?

Thank you for the opportunity,

Kent Hutchinson

This is for my second chance of winning the $5,000.00 a week for life. I pray this is the right way to go. So important for my whole family…from my aging father in-law comfort and care to my sister that keeps getting cancer, and all of my loved ones in between. Thank You PCH for the hope.

i received a letter from publishers clearing house saying that i won four hundred twenty five thousand dollars and they sent me a check for four thousand nine hundred thirteen and told me to deposit it into my bank account can u tell me if this is a scam

love publishers clearing house

are yoou connected with Sweepstakes Clearinghouse?

I received a call today from a Andy Goldberg stating I won $12 million and a 2012 Merc from PCH. The number he called from was 876-278-9458. He gave me the name Claudia Rutherford and I was to go to Western Union and send $1,250.00 to her at 18 King St.
Montego Bay, (JA) W.I. when I told him I had no money he hung up.

Hello,
I have signed for the sweepstakes on official website and start receiving emails that required confirmation or acceptance etc. Usually they have my name or last name or my zip code or my complete postal address in it and informing that I have chance to win if reply before specific date, or questions like will I “accept the winning money if I win”. Or “Open this one before it’s too late”, etc. Why I need to confirm anything every week? Is it a scam or you actually sending emails to people who signed asking to confirm their entries?

Thank you.

It seems like every answer is “it’s a scam” so how will we know real from scam if we are a winner? Will we never get notified via email if we are a winner? I’ve been playing quite a bit to. I know it’s that “one in a billion” chance but is it really worth all the emails and then trying to distinguish what’s a scam and what’s not?? I’m starting to think no.

I received a very brief email, supposedly from PCH, claiming that I’ve won 1 million dollars, and that they need my contact info.

However the email address is out@teso.net, and I’m being requested to email to a Dave Sayer at mega@fm.bb.

Sounds like a scam to me, but better to double check.

I’ve been reading some of these post. YES I must agree PCHonlinesurveys.com has its issues. I always address mine soon as they arise, so I know the people at their customer service dept. must rue my name as often as I contact them. But doing these surveys is all in fun. It took Constant complaints about spending 40mins to 1 hour on multiple surveys in DEC 2011 with not being rewarded the points that were stated were to be rewarded for taking their online surveys that someone at PCH finally told me what to look for in surveys to make sure the surveys were ones that rewarded points. I actually had to start taking screen captures of the beginning of each survey so when a issue arose to show them what the survey stated it was. (Becuase PCHonlinesurveys is quick to send out a form letter the survey is not closed yet or our records indicate this survey was for no points, then you have to show proof off the opposite. Headaches) I know they are in the business of making money, but man what a surprise in the past week or two that I notice they cut the point value on their surveys. Just for instance. A 80 point survey is now 50 points. A 60 point survey is now 30 points. A 40 point survey is now 15 points. They cut the points, but not the amount of time some of these surveys can run. I use to find taking some of their surveys was fun for passing the time. I get a little something out of it, they get a little something also. WIN WIN. Not any more I’ll just cut way back and let someone else enjoy the fun with PCHonlinesurveys.com until they get tired

I received an email today that stated it was from publishers clearing house i have copied the email and pasted it below;

“We are pleased to announce to you that your email address emerged alongside 4 others as category 2 winners in this year\’s weekly Publishers Clearing House PCHlotto.

I just wanted someone to be aware of this cause it is obviously a scam, I have read numerous posts on here by people who stated that they recieved this same email with the same names or similar ones, as well as the same winning ticket number. Thank you and I hope that this gets taken care of so that no one else gets scammed by these people. I have also sent a copy of this email to your suspicious emails box.

Hi,

I just recieved an SMS on my phone saying the following : Your Mobile# won $900,000 in Publishers Clearing House (Giveaway No. 1830), email delivery details, age, occupation, email address and mobile # to pch2mobile@blumail.org.

I’m thinking scam??

I have been receiving request for money (checks or money orders) this last one says International Award Payment Center Special Judge presentation. Judge Arthur Lee, Judge Thomas Moore, Judge mary Kelley and also we the judges all do raise the grand prize up to 20,000 dollars and so for. Is this legitimate or is a scam?

My Fiance got an email that says it is from publishers clearing house and that we won a million dollars. I am afraid this is a scam. They asked for our name address and phone number and they said they would send the check in the mail and to put it in a bank account within three days.

A guy called me & said he was with a claims dept associated with PCH. He wanted me to get $1500.00, or three $500.00 green dot cards from Walmart for travel arrangements to bring me $5.5 million dollars, and a 2012 Mercedes Benz. Is this how it is supposed to happen? I have his name & number.

Please. I think I’ve screwed -up already, with PCH. Is there a way I can determine if I’ve been disqualified? Please. I don’t want to keep entering if I’ve been disqualified. I enter by phone, computer, and mail everyday; but, I think I’ve ‘ticked them off’, and I think I’ve been disqualified. If anyone can help me know that if my number is drawn I would be disqualified or my entries would be disqualified … I don’t know who to speak to.

I don’t see my post!? I’m anxious to find out if I’m disqualified or still in good standing because I’ve attempted multiple entries. And I got kind of sassy with the online surveys.

I’ve recieved a letter in the mail about an upgraded entry. With it came a instant prize scratch off (sorta like a lottery scratch off) anyway I scratch it and apparently won some money so I attached the offical “sticker” that came with it to the entry form with the “scratch off” and placed it back in the mail.. was wondering if this was infact the real deal or not.. I wasn’t ask for any person information aside from name and address and there was a place for two more “stamps/stickers” should I wish to pretake in the many prizes offers found with the envelope.

I got this package from PCH containing a scratcher and I won $25000 in cash. As i was instructed i sent back the scratcher with the provided envelope. Couple days later i get a postcard saying i need to enter for a winning chance that has 50 other people playing it!!!! WTF???? I won $25000 according to the scratcher and now they are playing games with me!!!! PCH is 100% SCAM!!!!! dont waste your time, believe you and me it’s just a WASTE OF TIME!!!!!

dont fall for this scam.if you get a phone from a steve rogers.he say hes from pch.and tells you you won some money.the next thing he tells you is go and buy a 500 dollar mineypack card.and call him back and give him the numbers on the back of the card.dont fall for this scam

My husbsnd has been contacted through e-mail that he has won a big prize. The e-mail is requesting contact information for verification. Is this normal of is somebody pulling a fast one? Thank You

I received an email a few days ago saying I had won the million dollar prize and to respond to email, attn Dave Sayer with my contact info to verify confirmation of notification. The subject of email was winner in bold black letters. Would be great if it were true but so far no prize patrol van and no Dave Sayer. Maybe PCH doesn’t deliver on holiday weekends

It sucks, but I just got the same email. Can’t believe I sent my info to them. They did have my excited about winning though. Broke and truly needed the money.

Here is the message I got: Publishers Clearing House mega winner of $1,000,000.00 in the recent draw, send your Contact information to Dave Sayer pchl@free.bb for verification to collect winnings.

After buying countless mags and “entering via e-mail” for the same contest. New entry sent every tw days for the same drawing….1830……PCH is nothing more than a cheap bit scam made to look like a high dollar legit outfit…….very few are ever shown as winners….those that are,..cant be located nor can any internet info be found to even prove that person actually ever existed.

What a scam………shame shame shame.

Got an e-mail saying my email address was selected among four others for a $1,000,000 prize and to message Pch agent, Mr. David Van Peters at reply.claims.office@claimsdeppt.co.cc with the following information to collect my prize:
Name
Address
Sex
Age
Nationality
Occupation
Present country

Is this a scam?!!!!

I received a call from “Andy Goldberg” President/CEO of PCH this morning claiming I had won 12.5 million, and a car. I was to go to a Western Union, obtain a “TIMP” (Transfer money receipt) after paying them $1,000 cash. Then I was to give the receipt to a Fed Exp delivery guy who would be delivering my check. I called the hotline. THis is a SCAM. I asked Mr. Goldberg (who really is the CEO of PCH) for another name and # to verify the truth of this, and he gave me a Mark Washington and a #. The man who answered spoke exactly like “Mr. GOldberg.” I called the fraud hotline and was told that PCH NEVER calls, they ALWAYS show up as a surprise, with the van and prize patrol you see on TV. BEWARE!

Does the prize patrol go to your house if you win 2nd, 3rd or 4th prize or are you notified another way

someone called, said the publishers clearing House named me the winner of $5,ooo. I should order magazines for 3 payments of $88.98, but they would send me $1000in 5 days to coverthe cost of magazines. Is this a fraud?

hi my name is tim and i recieved a message on my mobile saying i won alot of money, but i am hesitant to send my detalis like drivers liscence incase its a scam. but i really don’t want to miss out either. what should i do?

Hi my father got a call the other day from someone saying they were from PCH. They said he won and that they have been looking for him for about a year because supposedly he won sometime last year. This would make since because we moved quite a bit and changed our #. They said he would get a certified check by Fed-Ex on Tuesday. Is this the real deal or just a scam? Please get back to me ASAP.

After playing or responding to the PCH email offers (games) for almost two years I have not hit any luck drawings. I think it is all just a come-on to get you to watch the commercials and unless you regularly purchase a product you never win anything. Just take the slot machine games as an example. They say that you need 3, 4 or more bonus points to win but you only get 2 or 3 spins and the last spin does not count. Rip-off! Missleading!

I got a call from somebody and I didn’t catch his name. The number was also listed as unknown. He said I had been entered into a prize drawing from pch for 1,000,000 dollars. He also said that for entering I could get a diamond watch and I get some sort of magazine subscription for free. I declined the magazine offer and he told me that they would notify the winners by phone. He also asked me what kind of credit card I had. Was it a mistake to tell him? I never gave out a number.

I KNOW PCH IS. A SCAM I have been playing forever and not even a 5 dollar prize. My mother played when I was a child and she died playing. I use their search engine all the time. And nothing ..But they send all kind Of gimmicks to SET YOU UP FOR A BIG *** FALL ..I WILL POST AND MAKE MY OWN BLOG THAT YOU ARE A FRAUD! !! MAKE FLYERS AND HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THEIR FRIENDS DO THE SAME. FACEBOOK, TWITTER. Everyone needs to know so they don’t waste their time

I received a snail mail package from PCH presenting me with “consolation prizes” requiring me to use the enclosed $400 vouchers toward a variety of options all costing over $400 which I could charge to my credit card. Fortunately I read about your scams before I responded. Thank you for this service.

Accidently ordered something, please help, PCH!!

How come in the entire history of PCH no one who lives at an apartment address has ever won? It’s always some person who lives in a nice home, never an apt. dweller. Only home owners win as if PCH is selling some image. This to me is an PC elitist set up scam.

I received a call from a person saying that he represented PCH and that I had won $2.5 Mil. but would have to pay $250.00 for a goverment stamp to have it delivered to me. Is this for real?

Please explain how the scammers know we entered your sweepstakes. Scammers never called before I entered PCH’s sweepstakes.

How do the scammers get our phone numbers? At best, PCH appears to have a very serious security issue.

Hi, I. Haven’t been getting emails from pch anymore. I’m still signed up and everything. I was trying to figure out also how to put two addresses in my information I live at one and get mail sent to the other. Also inone of my emails I accidently hit the submit button even though I had already did it once. I think it was in a few emails actually my phone messes up. I didn’t know if this affected me getting emails?

I just received an email from PCH saying I won $ 1, 000 000 they want me to send them my name, address, workplace, country I live in, is this a scam? There is no phone in the email I am suppose to reply with the information to a Mrs. Reyna cruz.

add your comment here I just received an email from PCH saying I won $ 1, 000, 000 they want me to send them my name, address, workplace, country I live in, is this a scam? There is no phone in the email I am suppose to reply with the information to a Mrs. Reyna Cruz.

Rec’d 3rd call 7/20/2012 telling me (this time) I won $1.5mill and a new car from PCH. When will I be home etc. Told John Freeman he was the 3rd to call, this time rec’d a password to give4 to anyone else who called.
While I’m playing along w/his scam he’s going on and on. I need to go to Walgreen’s or Walmart and register and what time can I go so they can deliver my check and car. Of course, being smarter than he, I told him Mon between 9am and midnight. That did it, he hung up. He also asked personal finance questsions and what time would I do some of the things he asked. Told him I it was none of his business. Oh and after the password asked if it was upper or lower case, he didn’t know what I was talking about.
I just can’t believe people fall for these scams. And the Thurs call was for $2.5mill. I am reporting to Fraud div too.
A shame they’re using Pub Clearing Hse as an excuse.

hello.
i recently recieved a call from Viking Magazine. they said that i have been nominated for the pch sweepstakes. also that i am to recieve a $250 gift card with the purchase of magazines such as glamour etc. somehow it went from $3.95 a month for subscription to $59.80 a month for 9 months. i need to know if this is a scam because its annoying. spoke with 2 reps. Ledra was the first & then Magnolia Walker was the second rep. they gave me the number 1-800-339-9492×674, but the number showing on my cell is 651-829-3144.

I just received the mail in order packet for the august 31st grand prize. as usual I got my usual entry a bingo card and of course all of many selection of offers to buy product a discounted prices but I also got a scratch off card this time that when scratched noted that I 1 35,000 dollars. I am done the scratch off before and they usually say something about having an additional grand prize entry and you have not won yet this 1 however doesn’t say anything about that. and the official guide lines sweepstake official rules barely noted the card in there at all. I just want to know if this is a scam or or have I actually won the 35,000 dollars. I’ve taken several pictures of all of my entry forms including the scratch off card bingo card and the grand prize. then I send it in so that I will be eligible but I want to make sure that I will be able to receive this and don’t have my hopes up pretty much for nothing. can someone please explain to me this giveaway of 2184 for the august 31st 2012 entry.

received a email i won 1 million dollars sent to Mrs Margaret Crossan with my information

Am i just waisting my time entering my information on pch, i recive about 6 emails a day, for the past two years. never won anything, just got my hopes up a lot. getting sick of entering the contest constantly. and i never herd anyone win in my area like they always say. why is that? Im just letting everyone know: DONT WAIST YOUR TIME WITH PCH CONTESTS. TELL THE TRUTH, IS IT A SCAM???

I’ve recently received an email from pch saying my email was chosen to win. all asked was name occupation n county I replied maybe its true.. got follow up n thinking its scam.. something abt winning ticket # & winning email #. .
best Regards,
Mr. Walcot Smith
(Claims Officer- P.C.H LOTTO)
that was the end. everything sounds lik it but still ify. course everyone wants win especially times lik this so is it real or scam

PCH should stop their sweepstake/lotteries. All their sweepstakes/lotteries do is to provide food for scam artists to feed on and rip off the public.

How do these scammers get the all personal information that is given to PCH in confidence. Clearly PCH is incapable of protecting their customers personal information. It is useless telling customers after the fact how they should have protected themselves.

Looking at all the problems and scams, listed above, that your sweepstakes/lotteries have created, all you are doing is creating false hope and heartache for thousands of innocent people. If you cannot protect personal information, please warn everyone, at the time of entering your sweepstake/lotteries that they are going to be subjected scam artist who will pretend to represent PCH.

I received an email saying I had won, and they would like my name, email, sex, address, phone number, and a scanned copy of my passport. It looks like a legit PCH email address, but I wanted to see if this was a scam.

Thank you.

I,ve been playing lotto numbers and slots for over a year, can,teven win the minium five dollars. after august 31 i,m not playing anymore it takes too much of my time.

welll so what you have to laern faith i know that GOD is real and JESUS is his only son that .if you dont put your faith in something or just dont have any then way do you even brother trying to win the prize thats call you trying to get .if you pay attention you realiz,the geart offer’s PCH has work Hard to bring to but in your greed those pueny prize’s mean nothing to you .then what good is it for you to win .iam sure you keep it all to yourself ………….xdaniel

why do they keep sending you a email to confirm what your all ready in

I got a call and they told me I won second place PCH monthly contest for $18,000. I told them I wouldn’t give any info but my address and they said UPS is sending the check. He said we could call back and ask for James Miller. Their number was 876-481-7600

All people win if they are rich and have nice homes.Poor People Like me and some others do not have a chance.My freedom of rights to speak,unless they can make me believer.PCH has information to whom they give money.

PCH is a scam! Haven’t you ever noticed, most of the winners are mostly SENIORS. Only because they know seniors won’t be around long enough to enjoy the wealth. You don’t hardly ever see people in their “40′s” winning. It’s all a scam! The only way you’ll ever get any money is if you WORK for it the old fashion way. Get real!

I won 100.00 dollers from pch took check to my bank and they said that they would not cash it. Because pch is a scam frist you will get one check for 100 and them another check later for 1000 dollers and then they will want you to pay for the next check. I think this is so wrong of pch. Some people like me are sick and just thing to get a chance to make it. And have a good life for are remained time on earth. I guess I trusted pch how I am scared of it. Thanks r Padgett

I received this email today. Could you please inform me if it is real or a scam…

Mr. Paul Anderson

I think that PCH should take action on the people using and abusing their name. Or sincerely appologize to the people that have been lied to and anounce out loud that GOD is their savior and that there is no other power greater than God.

i just wanted to comment on your lotto games …i have been playing them daily since january and i have yet to have more then one bonus marker come up on any spin and seeing that this is the only way to even have a chance at the bouus round ,I believe your just wasting my time…what do you think …be awaiting your bs answer

HELLO FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE ENTER THIS CONTEST I’VE NEVER WON ANYTHING.ALL I EVER GOT FROM PCH IS A BILL THE MORE I SPENT THE DISCUSSED I GOT BUT I STILLED PLAYED BECAUSE I HAD FAITH BUT I THINK I;M ABOUT READY TO GIVE UP ON PCH BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY THEN I HAD BECAUSE THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GIULTY ABOUT NOT ORDERING.THE ONE THING IS I’M OVER THE AGE OF 60 I GIVE UP IDON’T WAT TO BUT I’M TO OLD FOR THIS. ANNI O’LEARY

I have ordered from PCH and have gotten cash prize bulletins that I must sign and send back with my payment. I sent the first in April and have yet to receive a payment. I am beginning to believe that PCH is a big scam to get people’s money, and I don’t have it to give away as I am on disability. I made copies of these small flyers – which range from $150 to $5,000 – and if I don’t get my money soon…

A few months ago I entered and followed the instructions carefully. I happened to receive something called: WIN THOUSANDS IN CASH! PRIZE PASS in my entry form envelope. I dutifully filled out all required information. The particular item of interest was a “scratch off” game. It was very simple. It was similar to a lottery ticket. I scratched the “Secret Number” (47 in my case) and was told to scratch the 3 numbers below it and match it to the “Secret Number” and reveal the prize PCH is offering. I did so and scratched off “47″ the winning number. Below this winning number $25,000.00 was revealed. On the very bottom of the ticket it says: FULL ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS LISTED ON BACK

On the back it says:

“Entry instructions: Please return this Prize Pass in your Official Reply Envelope. You must also return your Official Entry-Order form to arrive by the 5/11/12 deadline.

===

Note on the front it said:
FULL ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS LISTED ON BACK — and I have reproduced these full instructions above.

So, it seems I should have been a winner. I sent the forms and this ticket back to PCH on the SAME DAY that the USPS delivered them to me, so I know they received them in plenty of time before the deadline.

If the FULL INSTRUCTIONS were indeed stated on the back (as I copied above) why am I not due to receive $25,000.00?

I kept copies of all of this but so far PCH has not replied to my inquiry.

I recieved this emAIL SCAM FROM YOUR COMPANY: WHAT DO i DO??? THESE EMAIL ADDRESSES WERE WHERE IT WAS SENT FROM;
fairfield@singnet.com.sg AND

info info@pch.com

With all due respect, the PCH Search and Win appears to be nothing but a dead end. My wife sent in her contest entry and received a notice in the mail to go to a website to enter her authorization code.

Upon entering the code she was sent through 4 pages of items she was asked to consider buying. When she hit the continue button she was sent to a page with a search function and a red bar below it.

Verification and examination were red with the only grey area being the search activation needed for completion of the activation.

Here’s the thing, neither of us, no matter what we searched for could get the final activation to be recognized for our entry. It basically remained, incomplete without our entry being counted.

As far as we are concerned, this is just a bogus contest designed to get people to make purchases before they can enter the contest, which of course is illegal.

Instead of sending me to another website that wants me to sign up as a PCH Member so you can send me all kinds of propaganda and email requests, why don’t you just answer the original question here, like you should?

I was contacted today from someone saying they are from PCH and that I won a lottery drawing for $1 million dollars and wanted me to reply to the email with my name , address, occupation and sex. Is this a way that PCH contacts winners? Or just another scam?

I received this in my mail the other day.
i know its a scam, please tell me if its from your company?

I have been entering PCH sweeps since I turned 18, back when you had to lick a bunch of stamps in a mailer and match it to the appropriate boxes in the mailer and then return your entry. Still waiting for the Prize Patrol. I’m leaving my lights on for you.
Keep your heads up people, it’s a game, a chance, a hope. If you win a blessing.

Thank You Pch for giving all of us HOPE , FOR THINKING THAT WE COULD HAVE A CHANCE FOR WINNING. i BEEN KNOW THAT THIS CHANCE AND ONLY CHANCE COULD GIVE US A CHANCE TO HELP SOME OTHER PEOPLE WHO WE KNOW WHO SURELY NEED HELP IN AMERICA ,A LONE BY HELPING OUR OWN FAMILY WHO ARE IN NEED . sAY YALL , jUST KEEP HOPE ALIVE (OKAY) iN THE NAME OF (Jesus) Ricky

Hello,

I am a over the road truck driver. If by some freak chance I were to win a prize over 10,000 I would more than likely not be there to accept the prize. Can someone from your houshold living with you accept as a proxy or does the winner have to be there in person to win? Not everyone gets to stay home or has a 9 to 5 do you take this into account when you give no advanced notice of a larger prize winner?

Just wondering

I DON’T BELIEVE U LOOK 4 A PERSON THAT DOESN’T HAVE ANY LUXURIES AND PICK THEM AS A WINNER. IT IS ALWAYS THAT IS WELL ENOUGH 2 A HAVE A HOME AND AN INCOME, NOT DISABLED AS I M AND WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE, BREATH AGAIN. THIS IS MY OPINION FOR I NEVER C ANY 1 THAT WINS THAT IS HAVING HARD TIMES. SINCERLY YOURS THERESA LYNN MORELLI

I just received a call from a man claiming to be from PCH. He said I won 1.5 mil and a Mercedes. I do enter the sweepstakes but I was apprehensive. I didn’t believe it for a second. I was just waiting for him to say how much I had to pay to claim my prize. He gave me the whole spiel and after about 10 min on the phone it came. I need $135 on a WalMart Green card and $127 on a Pak Paper card (what ever those are?) Every Moron knows you don’t have to pay to win/claim a prize. So I hung up.Don’t fall for these scams people. I personally won’t believe I won until the prize patrol comes to my house…which I hope will be soon:)

I am being contacted by some people saying I have won a large prize in the hundreds of thousands of dollars all I have to do to collect is get a re loadable green dot card for $250 or $299. and give it to the people who come by my house with check; They have personal contact information on me. They said PCH yesterday an d Mega Millions the other day the named MGM Grand then they were the IRS. They call back and call back on the point of harassment, if you are interested I have phone numbers.

I’ve been playing the PCH since the late 80′s. Where is My PCH money?

I play to Win,I just wish it soon..

Sometimes I wonder if this sweepstake is real, I have been entering PCH sweepstake for 5 years 5 days a week sometimes several times per day and never won anything, but I promise to keep on trying to prove to myself if it’s real or not.

come on it is my time to win, I have been entering for over 5years 5days a week sometimes more, my friends make fun of me let’s proove them wrong.

I read these thing’s,but it’s ok.the only reson i enter is to win money for some Charities that needs the money more then i.i don’t have much to do so just maybe it may be true,it doen’t hurt anything if you don’t count on winning for sure.I only hope that it is true that people can win if not,that’s o.k. too.

I am ready to be the next winner sooooo readyyyy really looking forward to it can’t wait

Its cold but don’t feel like closing the door that way i can wait for u guys

Muliyani Made with initial MM Giveaway 1830 to claim Enhanced Bonus Opportunity Approved. Thank you.

Just got an official looking Payment of Winner letter with a PCH logo on the top and Master/Visa logos on the bottom. Tell winner to call Mr. Charles Thompson and he answered and asked for the numbers and my phone # (They would have had that). I’ll let you know if he calls back.

Did I read, that you only get 30 minutes to reply to a posting that you win a prize? How do you Call in ? Where do you contact people? Do you call + come by? Send letter or email? Please don’t reply with a link! Thank you!

I keep getting emails from PCH searh@win and PCHlotto. Saying my chances are great. They are even saying that if the winner with the initials S.F. will when form my area code. Is this a scam just to get me to enter. Or is this just for entertainment purposes only. What are my true chances of winning if any

i am aperson WHO really needs the MONEY I have done every thing you have asked of me. I HAVE TRYED EVERYDAY FOR AWHILE AND STOPED.
I DON’T CARE ABOUT ALOT OF MONEY.
30,000.00 would help me pay off my pickup and get false teeth. I HAVE ALREADY LOST MY JOB BECAUSE THEY SAID I NEEDED FALSE TEETH. I SERVED DOING THE VIETNAM WAR . I HAVE TRYED TO GET FALSE TEETH BUT NO MONEY. I KNOW YOU WILL LAUGH THIS OFF AND OVER LOOK IT. BUT TTHIS IS WHY I QUIT TRYING. GOD BLESS

I was searching PCH and I just got a call from an unknown number. The guys aid he was Eric Mc something and said I had won my entry into the $50,000 grand prize. And just for that he was also sending me a watch and subscribing me to magazines all free. Then I was like “yeah!” but then he said he did require me to pay for some and said to put in a good word for him to his supervisor to whom he gave the phone to. I talked to him for a bit, but then I started asking questions and he hung up. Any info on this?

Muliyani Made with initial MM Giveaway 1830 to claim Official Prize Award Notice for a total of 18 prizes valued at at $1,500.00 were not claimed and must be a awarded.

Got scammed on facebook today by someone claiming to be Danielle Lam. I documented it all. What sucks is they told me I’d won the $10,000,000 super prize. Sad thing is I have a Mom in a home with Alzheimer’s and a Dad in the same home needing assistance. They’re on limited income, the money is tight and my wife and I are divorcing. Needless to say the last thing I need is a fake money winning. A real one I’d take. So there’s enough info in there that you might be able to catch these people. I sure hope so.
