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....

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). There was also a copy of a “sample” check for the 2.5 Million on the bottom flap. The back side of the letter includes 4 sections: one “About Publisher’s Clearing House Prize Draws” signed by Bob Crawford President Winners Selection Committee; another about “What happens if you decide not to reply?” and citing 3 testimonies; a third elaboration of the examples cited along with a stamp of the Prize Draw Guarantee; and finally an Attestation to be signed and detached to be given to the Prize Patrol Team after receiving the prize.

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.

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

- 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.

Miss Liam from PCH. I had won 1,000,000 in cash and a pickup truck. I needed to pay for the delivery fees

- Fort Wayne, IN, USA

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

- Macomb, MI, USA

<p>I missed the 1st call. They left a Number 718.865.8559 for me to call back. I called back & left a message. They called me back from 929.551.2049 and he said his name was Peter Mason said he was from Publishers Clearing House that I had won $1,000,000.00 and a new 2024 Mercedes and what color I wanted and I told him Hot Pink. He said that $18.5K would be added to my account in a couple hours but he needed information. So he began to take my info. I had to give my bank account, my social security & my address and asked me if I wanted to be on TV or come to my house to present it to me, or the news paper and I told him all of the above. </p>

<p> He asked if I had any open credit cards & I told him I had one. He said go to the bank through the drive thru to show my ID & get the balance. I explained the bank don't have drive thru I would have to go inside. He said don't tell them your business all the while I drove he stayed on the phone. When I went into the bank I muted him and told the bank associate what was going on he said it was a fraud so I unmuted the guy, (Peter Mason) and said the bank can't give me the money due to it wasn't affiliated with my bank. The bank man said Sir, & Peter said, "I told you not to tell anyone about my business" and hung up. So I had to open another checking account, can't close the other one until I see my SSI deposit in processing mode to have it transferred to new account immediately. </p>

<p> They put a no credit hold on my old account so nobody would be able take any money. Thank God, but they tried with a $4000.00 & a $3,361.97 which put my account in -$7361.97. Bank reversed the charges of $4000.00 but said to wait on the other. Someone tried opening an account #3750 2779 7568 under me and I had the bank close it immediately when I seen that. Yes I have called the credit bureau's and they have a block & freeze on me. I called social security, my cc company, & loan company and gave them the situation and all is ok so far. I thought it would be a good idea to call ScamPulse.com to file a claim and they referred me to here. I really want these people prosecuted to the MAX.</p>

They said I won publisher clearing house sweepstake. I have never even participated in it. I called back and they said a bunch of ****

- Placerville, CA, USA

Phone call asking if I was home to accept prize. They first asked that I go to a store (Target) to retrieve a registration number so I could accept it and call them when I get there. Instead I called the actual Publisher’s Clearing House to confirm it was a scam. When I texted the number back and said they were a scam and I wouldn’t call them ,they responded “[censored] you”.

Just go to General Dollar Store and purchase a card. Prize patrol would be at house this afternoon . I did not go purchase card. I googled his name while on phone, Warned that it was scam..

on May5/16/24, I received a voicemail fom 702-534-2040 stating that I was being contacted to receive 4.5 millon dollars in in the PCH swepstakes. I returned the call leaving a vm of acknowledgement. The call from number was a different number and I called that number as well; it was not answered as a business but with a "hello". I said wrong number and hung up. Today, 5/23/24, I received a call back from the vm left, once again, saying that i would receive na certified check from Bank of America as a sweepstakes winner for $4.5 million from PCH. I only have to pay the taxes $936 to receive the certified check. Iresponded , no thank you abd hung up. $936 is a lot of money to me because I am a senior citizen on a fixed income. I was also told that a letter had been sent notifying me of this prize. If it came, i probably tossed it out as junk mail. I hope these heartless scammers are caught.
