• Jul 07, 2025

Got a call from PCH saying I won the lottery from visiting one of the major merchandise stores such as Walmart or Walgreens. They told me that I won $25 million dollars payout and $3,000 weekly every Friday. I said that is a lot of money and I'm not that lucky, so I don't believe this is legitimate. They told me to call the number back and ask for extension 101 for "Sandra Davis" for the claims department. They provided a winning package number #EK5457895651000. They said to call the number and notify them that the delivery driver "Van Walis" is enroute on their way to deliver the check. They also said you got sent a letter notifying you of this win and mentioned a city nearby, but I have never lived there. So my scam radar went up again and decided to search the number after i hung up the phone and found it associated to this site.

- Munroe Falls, OH, USA

My grandpa received a call saying he won $2.5 million and a new car. They would be at his address in 40 minutes. He was to go to Dollar General to purchase a prepaid gift card for $180. The person got very agitated when she was questioned by myself as to how legitimate this was and why she expected an 89 year old to pay that fee in order to "win" something.

- Selah, WA, USA

I received a call from supposedly Publishers Clearing House claiming that a won a "surprise gift" and to call them at 516-613-1328 regarding it. I won't be calling as it all smells like a scam to me....

John Smith Said he was from the published clearinghouse. And that I won. He some how knew where i lived and my name

- Rockford, IL, USA

Got a call from a number I didn't recognize and ignored it. The number called back, so I answered. He said I won a sweepstakes through a Walmart receipt, that was gonna get a giant check for the money, that I won a Mercedes Benz. I never gave my name and he never used it. When I said I didn't know what he was talking about and that he must have the wrong number, he just asked if I was the owner of this phone number. Said i needed a code and my claimer card to use my earnings. Started to give me a code but I hung up and blocked the number.

- Amarillo, TX, USA

Received a call from someone from PCH saying i won $5 million jackpot. Was told to go get a gift card for $200 and to give them the number off the back of the card. Was later told to go ahead and get another gift card for $400 to cover the cost of the tax. I thought that was a little fishy so I didn't do that and called to check with the ScamPulse.com first. Glad I did. It was a scam.

This individual wanted me to be at home at a certain time to receive prize money. John Clark stated he and his team were in Marion IN and were prepared to make the trip to my residence to receive prize money.

- Queensbury, NY, USA

Phone call stating I was a winner of Pch sweepstakes. I was to go to Staples with the code A196AFE4 to get the prize package and he would call me to explain the prize Package looks official on light blue paper and all the official seals. Feel this is a scam because PCH doesnt call ahead to announce prize winner or ask for money
