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.

A check for $9860.25 written on the Progressive Property Insurance account at the Synovus Bank in Palm Harbor, FL.

It says I have to contact my claims manager before depositing the check by calling: 306-261-7404, 332-279-6605, or 705-854-1720. It's signed by Richie Jenkins, CFO.The back has a note from Bob Crawford, President, Winners Selection Committee.

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.

Letter addressed to my husband (who is deceased) received 2/6/25 in plain envelope with address label and no return address, but stamped Atlanta GA RPDC 302 28 JAN 2025 PM 8 L. Enclosed was check for $9,900.50 from Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile (Address: Administrative Office PO Box 25001 Santa Ana, CA 92799-5001) drawn on JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Sacramento, CA and signed with a stamp signature. Enclosed also was double side letter/announcement from Publishers Clearing House “officially” announcing him as a second place winner in the 100 Million Dollars Super Cash Giveaway Promotion sponsored by Readers Digest, Mega Millions, and Multi-State Lottery Association. The total win was 2.5 Million and the check was to cover insurance and attorney fees. He was to contact his Claim Manager at 705 854-1301 or 646 467-1647 with Security Code PCH-77717-WIN BEFORE depositing the check “and for further information on this prize.” The final paragraph includes the requirements in keeping with Federal and State laws about not discussing the win with third parties “to reduce risks of unauthorized access to your claims information,” It was signed by Richie Jenkins Chief Financial Officer and a block of logo stamps for AG Insurance, Walmart, JCPenny, Mega Millions, and Reader’s Digest was included (as if to indicate support and legitimacy).

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.

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.

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
