Publishers Clearing House Scam - PCH

Bill c Stevenson owe me money: 800.00

I got a phone call Wed. and Thurs. of this week from a woman who claimed to be Deborah Holland of PCH stating I had won $2.5 million dollars, a Mercedes Benz, and $7,000 a week for life. She sounds like a Black woman with a heavy accent, talks fairly fast and kept telling me not to tell anyone that I'd won so I wouldn't be in jeopardy of any harm. She said to access the e-m she that was sent to me by PCH and I did, but it was not well-written so it made me suspicious. Is this a real offer from PCH or is someone trying to scam me? She didn't ask for any money but I can't help but wonder

I have gotten letters, even gifts from PCH that are real that say that there have already been payouts to me in my name. The man I live with has taken over almost every Facebook account, Gmail, and Google accounts I have made in the last year. I have caught him stealing my bank cards, birth certificates, and even my ID. He changes my passwords and pin numbers to everything and does nothing but lie constantly. I have had several letters that are signed by three PCH workers that tell me I won. What should I do?

If someone contacts you claiming to be from PCH, and tells you that you've won a prize award – then asks you to send a payment or money card in order to claim the prize – STOP! You have not heard from the real PCH. IT'S A SCAM!
And, PCH does not notify its winners through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any other social media website.
Also, if you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House and are asked to send money, pay a fee or pre-pay taxes to enter, collect or claim a sweepstakes prize, DON’T BE FOOLED: IT’S A SCAM! You have not heard from the “real” Publishers Clearing House. The call you received was most likely from a fraudulent sweepstakes scam operation. Publishers Clearing House the winning is always free.

I was contacted on Feb 19,2019 by phone by someone from Discovery Bay by the name of John Roger claiming I had won 2.5 million dollars and a 2019 Mercedes Benz. He did not have a foreign accent, but spoke like he had a speech disorder. He asked for my color choice between red, white and black and if I preferred to publish my winning or keep it confidential.
He gave me a verification number www890721US and asked for the name of my bank where I live.
I told him I will not divulge that. He said, ok, but I need to insure the prizes which will cost $300 and it must be wired to him.
I knew all along it must be a scam and was sure of it when he asked for money, since Publishers Clearing House does not ask for money to award a prize.
I told him not to call me again and I hung up. He tried to call me back at least 7 times (shown by my caller ID, but I did not answer it.
I also received several "unknown number calls" which were probably the same person.
I intend to report this to the FBI and National Consumer Protection website. I am 70 years old and I get unsolicited scam and sales calls several times daily.
BEWARE!
They especially love to choose people over 65 as their targets.

I had a scam last week.
The man was Ray Brown and said he was a general manager at PCH.
He had the PCH logo on his message.
He told me that I was going to win $1.5 million dollars, plus $10,000 per week.I reported him to PCH, but I am not sure what they did with the information I supplied.
Please be cautious everyone!

The scammers are using this email address: infopch@pchcsc.net

I too received the same type letter from ms. Deborah holland, accredited fiduciary agent in july 2018. But before i got her email.
I received one from goodman, matthew then she emailed me to sent info to evergreen courier@outlook.In
(i smelled a rat) especially the evergreen address @outlook.In (india)plus i never entered the pch contest.
I have gotten phone calls before from india wanting to sell me a travel package for only $99, when i asked if he was in mumbi(bombay) he replied bandaglore (it's noted as a call center for a lot of businesses and fraud schemes) and he couldn't understand why i wasn't interested he said it's only $99 and he'd charge it to my credit card and proceeded to tell me the last 4 numbers of my card.
I immediatley called my credit card co and reported it and put a watch on my card.
Why can't pch stop these thieves and robbers, especially when they pray on the elderly? what u s government agency can we report these scammers too to have legal action tak3n against them?
Can the indian govt do anything about them, or does the indian govt care?
