Greetings, fans and friends,
I love reading your blog comments! But my heart breaks when I read comments from those of you who have been the victim of a PCH imposter scam.
Here at PCH, we work very hard to educate everyone about how to avoid a scam and how to report a scam. And while it might help other blog readers when you share your scam stories in the “comments” section of the blog, it is crucial that you report scams using our names properly – and immediately!
“Report a Scam!”
Says Danielle Lam
Whether you receive a fraudulent “friend request” on Facebook from a member of the PCH Prize Patrol (remember, the PCH Prize Patrol never sends friend requests on Facebook!) … or get a phone call, email or letter from someone claiming to be from PCH, who will award you a prize only if you send money first (something that would also never happen with the real PCH), you absolutely need to take the following action:
• Report the scam using our Scam Incident Report
Are you unsure of whether or not you’ve been scammed? We have tons of practical help on our Scam Prevention tab on Facebook as well as our Fraud Protection Page at PCH.com.
And while you’re on the PCH Blog, take a look at these informative posts:

Here at PCH, the safety and security of our fans, friends and customers is a top priority. We truly care about each and every one of you! Remember, knowledge is power!

On your fb page where one of your pch gentlemen was on video saying no one won superprize but tomorrow would be delivering a million dollar prize I made a comment. Mia Brown replied to me:
She said get in touch with Mr. Goodman PCH Head Manager at(###) ###-8212
for a chance to be our next Big Winner.
Whoever replied to my comment was representing themselves as your representative. Sounds like a scam to me!
Hi Anna, that’s definitely a scammer, not the real PCH. It’s important to remember that PCH does not contact winners of a major prize via phone, text, email, mail, or on Social Media. Also, if anyone asks you for money for any reason to claim a prize, you can be sure they’re a scammer. Please don’t give them any money, or any personal information! You can report them to us at this link: https://bit.ly/Report-Scam-To-PCH. We provide numerous videos, blogs, and tips to recognize these scammers here: https://info.pch.com/fraud-protection-2/. Take care!

Hi Mary, that is definitely a scammer who contacted you! PCH will never send friend requests, private messages, or winner notifications via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc; we also never ask for money to claim a prize. Do not give this person any personal information and certainly do not send them any money!! Instead, report them to PCH by completing a Scam Incident Report. Here’s how: http://bit.ly/Report-Scam-To-PCH. Check out this FAQ for info on how to stop scammers from contacting you on Facebook: http://bit.ly/StopFBScammers.
